World of Speed 2014

[Peter Jack]

Well, Peter Jack, sir -- you've gone and spoiled my fun for the day a few days back.  Noel -- my way of teasing new folks (and sometimes the old timers here, too) that they didn't completely fill in their Profile page when registering - is to assign locations to those who didn't pick their own.  You can see what that means in your case, hey?

I'll look for you in the pits over the next few days.  I'm sort of easy to find -- tall guy, hair going grey, wearing jeans shorts and a race t-shirt.  Keep your eyes open.   Welcome to the Forum - and good luck in the fun.  Red Neon, hey?  What class or which of the 130 or 150 will you be running?

I do apologize for that Slim, sir. I thought your fun was just in coming up with the place names and posting them.

I was just trying to help a fellow countryman. With any luck he won't see it while he's on the salt so you may have a few days to chuckle anyway. 

Pete

First timer but I found my way from regina, saskatchewan to the salt and through tech... feel free to stop by and say HI- I'm pretty sure I'm the only red neon out there... car X15

-Noel-

And folks, here is Noel's Neon in staging this morning:

Last saw Noel 3 back for the start. All is well. Seems the heat is agreeable today.
And the helmet seemed to be containing his grin.

The long course is done for the day now -- and I'm about to shut off the stream - and yes, I know the 130/150 folks have a few more to run.  I need to get this thing shut down so I can try to fix the audio issues for tomorrow.  Thanks for listening, girls and boys.

Thanks, Jon. It was working very well this afternoon.

I don't have much time to post -- going to dinner with the USFRA workers -- thanks to the Wendover City (Mike Crawford) for putting on a feed for all of us.

I expect I'll get the run logs again from Ellen, but since she'll be at the same dinner as me -- you might not see them 'til morning.  And I promise to remember to post both courses right away in the morning.

We hope to have better audio tomorrow.  And by the way -- as I went past impound tonight it was pretty danged empty, so return runs might be over quickly in the morning.  I'll give you what I find as soon as possible.

Note to all:  Crass begging letter from me will be posted later.   Right now I'm going to dinner.

Hello all
I was rebuilding the Lambky liner Vincent engines and gearbox in 2012. I would like to hear what the team achieved this year. Did they make any successful runs? What speeds? Cant find any data on the net. It would be nice if someone could fill me in - Thanks!

Best regards Hartmut

Heather West stopped out here and said that she's got the record certs. ist from yesterday posted on the USFRA Facebook page.  Go take a look.  For that matter -- copy it to here.  This laptop is about as busy as I dare get it right now.


It's 5PM here and the staging lanes are now closed for the day.  Runs will continue 'til 6PM.

Harmut,

They had a problem shifting and broke a chain... They suspected a solenoid issue,  Previous years ok but I heard he had some wiring redone in that area so they were looking at that... Next pass not sure no speeds given so not sure if they made it to the measured mile.

Thats all I heard

Max is in Impound with a 167.
Noel made the 150 club with a 154 and is headed to Denver for some road race action this weekend.

One more day to bump my record, but nothing can compare with the new friends I made at this meet.
Tip of the hat to Max, the Midget, Danny Thompson, Valerie, Noel, and so many others....

Thanks Jon and Sam

First gear would pull around 200 mph with 6000 revs so they must have serious problems.

Regards  Hartmut

[Heather w.]

Hey slim! When I copied and pasted your records I was corrected that was the records posted for Sunday not Monday

[jacksoni]

I saw report and radar of rain last evening. What impact on track this AM?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

None.  We're running return runs right now.
