David's interview of Ed Shadle and the team at North American Eagle formed the basis for an article in Desktop Engineering magazine. He is now working on a book-length project about this team that had hoped to go 800mph to set a new land speed record before suffering a fatal crash in August 2019, which destroyed the vehicle and claimed the life of driver/TV personality Jessi Combs.

His video of of Jessi setting a new women's 4-wheel land speed record has been viewed nearly 1 million times.
