Did anyone get any pictures of the AIR Gas Roadsters?  Please post them as I forgot my film

What is "film"? Do you mean the stuff that settles over everyone at El Mirage during a run?

It would be proper to use film for these vintage cars.

A quick scan of the results shows  none of the 1000s of roadsters sitting around made an appearance, 160 minimum muist be too high.

And now -- the new records:

MOTORCYCLE RECORDS

I'm the "Pending" he mentioned at the end. Didn't have time for a seal before season start, so I'll meet up for measuring next week with an inspector. They sealed my motor in impound (where the old one was) until I meet up with Matt or Tom. Nothings changed in our Bore/Stroke since last inspection, so all should be good.

I thought Jim Hoogerhyde was in the 1000 APS-F class and not 1350?  Either way great record and speed!

You are correct John - an even greater record.

Bonnieville Bob(see spelling) sent a note saying I missed the entry name by using spell check.

Dan sends the reports to me and I put 'em on the site.  In the past I usually only put them on the home page =-= but seeing the comments here I think I should put them on the Forum first -- and maybe on the home page.  I know Dan sends the same stuff to Wendy at BRN and Ed at SCTA-BNI.org and others, too, so he's doing his best to get the word out to one and all.  I'm glad you're satisfied with having them here.

Whether you're satisfied with the speeds you ran isn't my problem, though. :evil:

I just received a note from Miriam MacMillan asking me to remove/unpost the EM Impound Insights and the records from the May event.  I've taken them off the Forum and will now take them from the home page.  I will wait for her to explain her decision - but want to maintain the best relationship I can have with SCTA/BNI and landracing.com, so they're gone for now.  I hope to be allowed to re-post them later.
