They said earlier that Speed Demon slowed on its pass.  Maybe this was a shakedown run with the A motor.

The following was hearsay:  Demon made loud engine scuttling sounds;
unlike the usual gargling when the rev limiter is reached.

Cabinite is running AA/BFS, they are running against Danny's new record.

I believe they are running against a Tom Burkland record. Danny Thompson's record is in the AA/FS, not BFS. Either way, awesome run for the Carbiliner. First run over 400mph.  :cheers:

Thank you for 7800 speed. He pulled the chute at the 3 as planned and I guess they didn't get a 3mile speed. No need for on air reply. Thanks again. It's hard being here when they are there.

Slim, your live audio is great!  Not being there is a big bummer for us but your site keeps us close to the racing.  Thank you a bunch!

Are any of the fast streamliners going to try for 500mph. Also what was Danny's record speed.
The speed that you wish to achieve is only limited by the depth of your wallet.
