Black Rock? It has run (stripped down), to 200mph, at Newquay Airport in England.
Next stop...South Africa
Listen to the Interview with Mark Chapman (4th image down the page).

They built a track in South Africa a few years ago, just never got there (I don't think).
The plan is to test with Jet Engine only, running up to 600mph first to test aerodynamics.
Hopefully that will happen later this year.
If all goes well with the testing, they'll finish the aerodynamics and then think about adding the Rocket engine.
LOL Rocket engine adds another 350mph to the jet speed! crikey!!!
