On probation for just this issue, new procedures put into place, the BLM breathing down their necks, first meet of the year, and somebody blows out the back door?

It was no big deal, mechanical failure, but he got it stopped well within bounds. Nothing to see here . . .

What a fantastic meet! 4 full rounds, 272 total runs, 54 runs over 200mph, 39 certified records (12 car, 27 bike).
Top speed of the meet an incredible 293.885mph (Flashpoint A/BFS - on Lester & K.C.'s 304 record!)
Everybody was safe and had lots of fun. Weather was very nice too.

Just the perfect weekend. I believe the SCTA stages the best and most professional all-volunteer race events in the country.

You bet it was, haha - plus, it seems I got a new nickname: "The Count" - guess I sound like that character from the Muppet Show, announcing the numbers and speeds from the tower.

The story I heard was that someone's child heard you on the mic and said "hey that sounds like Count Dracula"!

Thank you, Brian, for your kind words - and congrats on your record and new merlot hat.
It's always exciting when a "heavy hitter" makes a successful run.
Next meet - June 10!

All I know sitting at #4 patrol on Sunday that someone went to the back door and they spent WAY,WAY,WAY to much time talking to him before they escorted the rider and retrieve vehicle back to the MC inspection area. Not privy to who was there. Perhaps BLM was I don't know but quite a few cars could have run while we waited.

I'll also say the tail wind started in the morning and kept the course clean and ready to run quickly. Seems to me the holdup S were at the starting line because the course was clear in less than a minute after a run.

Flashpoint was also one of the last cars to run Sunday... It took 3-4 runs, the last being 284. I under stand it's a Leggitt built engine which how good it is......
