This is the last day of racing... unless someone coughs up some bucks to extend.... well kinda.... they could make passes on the 16th but that is the day everything runs out and it would be a mad dash to clear out on time.
Just like Bonneville the gov controls the salt and you buy a window... the issues are with shipping... the containers were shipped soon enough that they should have been sitting in Colchini waiting... but we are dealing with third world countries.... my guess is that your container keeps going to the back of the customs line if you are not there to bribe your way to the front.
On a lighter note... Ralph entered the mile at 299 yesterday, but slowed to a 295, his data showed he was going 308 at one point in the mile, but then his traction control took over when the rear wheel went to 318. He made 4 runs yesterday, was blown off the course the last one, 8mph cross.
Erin made a run, entered the mile at 221, but then started slowing... they tried again and let the oil out of the motor, might have hurt it on the previous run... N20 can be a b1tch.
Ack attempted a run... had an electrical issue and went back to the pits, came out again, was waiting for Ralph to return, that's the run that Ralph was blown off course, Ack took it back....
The wind really came up and I think Ack lost a couple of pop-ups, they didn't leave but they mangled a bit.
Ralph's crew is getting pretty good at tire changing
