First challenge I've made. Don't even have a way to reward a winner. *Leaderboards will be updated weekly.*
Goal: Highest speed achieved on the runway at KSC. Must start, from where the game starts you on the runway(no backing up into the grass), and stop on the runway, flight is not allowed. All parts present at the beginning must be attached at the finish, parachutes excluded. Manned vehicle only. Multi-stage is allowed.
Mods: SpaceY and KW Rocketry allowed, along with any that don't enhance ground based vehicles, such as Stage Recovery etc. Mechjeb can be used to get initial DeltaV figured, but must be removed for the run.
Submit screenshot of both beginning and ending ship, along with a 3rd showing the flight results screen to prove speed. There is no time limit from launch to finish. Distance limit of 3600 meters or so, whatever the length of the runway is. I think that covers everything. I'll post my results here once I complete this again.
