Dope on a rope
The WR1 be safe in the knowledge that, short of strapping yourself to an Acme rocket, there's no quicker way to get from A to B.

System Design and Install Engineer for advanced audio visual stuff.
Basically design anything that requires projectors or 3D stuff...so the bog standard Cinema Multiplex's through to the design studios for car manufacturers, with a few military jet and F1 simulators thrown in too.
Currently working on a few new themeparks - typical 3D/4/5D crap though.

We all do a risk assessment before we strap ourselves in to a WR1, It's only natural. Then we BOOST.

Doesn't sound boring to me. How about a wee drop rocket fuel in the petrol tank of your 1 as an octane booster

Maybe bolt-on a couple of Ariane 5 Solid Rocket motors? At 1.5 million lbs thrust each, I might be able to keep up with some of the rather quick WR1's on here
There are a bit pricey though
