This is a new bit of news -- and it's on this topic 'cause I didn't want to cornfuse you folks even more than usual.  Read all about it:

This is sobering: "... the last time the Challenger 2 runs in competition."

It was amazing to see the Challenger 2 flying down the salt, what a glorious noise it made!!!

[gkabbt]

X2 on the noise! I was at the announcing/timing slip trailer when Danny made his run. Such a BEAUTIFUL sight!

Hopefully Challenger 2 will go to the World of Speed Museum in Wilsonville, OR and sit next to Mickey's Challenger I.

My question to Danny is "What do you do now?".
My small effort takes up all of my life and I'd be lost without it.
Big hole to fill Mr. Thompson. Great that he ran and achieved his goals.

I plan to stay past WoS for a couple of days to watch the FAST action at Cooks...

So danny is not going to try for the magic 500 MPH.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

I dunno who's gonna try to go how fast.  I do know that I'm gonna be there Weds evening for a week.

Slim:

Do you know when and where the Shootout drivers' meeting will be?  I talked to DW at WoS yesterday, and he said he thought sometime Wed. evening.

I see that Barnyard Bearcat has now been added to the Shootout entry list.  There may be another - Turbinator II showed up yesterday afternoon at WoS.  I understand they had problems at Speedweek, so (since the WoS course only goes out to the 4-mile) I'm thinking this may just be a shakedown - perhaps in preparation for the Shootout.  I guess we'll know in about a week.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Nope - don't know the details of themeeting.  I'll be flying in Weds afternoon and arriving Wendover Weds after supper, so chances are that I'll miss it if it's Weds.

Further deponent sayeth not.
