Under those conditions you need to be very careful as you will continue accelerating until you reach 99.9% of the speed of light. You will then have almost infinite mass (probably only slightly more than a typical fatty master). As a corollary you will also break the hour record. |

Because of non-simultaneity the thousands of onlookers will see the record broken by a Slipstream rider, also over-weight. |
