Wow, they managed to get a 2,000 pound car up to 48mph. I have to wonder 
if it's really a 20,000 pound car.

The final speed on the first ever run of the motorized log, was 76.625 kph
(47.64 mph) - smashing the required benchmark of 50 kph to set a new
Guinness World Records title - an impressive feat when taking into account
the 2,000 pound weight of the car.

As part of an upcoming episode from the third season of the hit TV show
Timber Kings, HGTV Canada recently set a new world record for the Fastest
motorised log, creating a super-fast vehicle built from a single section of
Western Red Cedar.  
 
The show usually sees logging experts build incredible cabins for million
dollar clients, but for a forthcoming episode the team turned their
attention to something altogether more fast paced.

The car was created from a single log from British Columbia, Canada, with
the build taking over 3,000 man hours.
 
Once construction was completed, an attempt at the record took place at the
Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, USA, on 20 January
2016. 

The final speed on the first ever run of the motorized log, was 76.625 kph
(47.64 mph) - smashing the required benchmark of 50 kph to set a new
Guinness World Records title - an impressive feat when taking into account
the 2,000 pound weight of the car. 
 
The vehicle, dubbed “The Cedar Rocket” by its creators, was built with
volunteer time and consists of metal frames and axels, an electric motor,
and two turbines.

The car was driven during its record-breaking run by star of the Timber
Kings show Bryan Reid Sr, the founder and owner of Pioneer Log Homes of BC,
who following the attempt declared that breaking the record was "one of the
top ten achievements" of his life. 

The motorized log will be auctioned later in 2016 with all proceeds going to
veterans charities.
