A "road car" has just gone 331mph

Apart from the white lines you don’t really get any sense of speeds there, it would be good if they had other vehicles he could pass with cameras in to show its approach and pass
 
If anything goes wrong at that speed, they'll be picking him up with a dessert spoon.

Anyone know how long that straight is that he was on? 331 mph; that's 5.5 miles a minute. Allowing for his acceleration up to that speed, and his slowing down afterwards, what would he need to do that "safely"?

It was state route 160 outside Las Vegas. 7 miles I think

SSC chose a seven-mile stretch of State Route 160 near Pahrump, Nevada
