I tuned in late this morning. Has Speed Demon made their return run yet?

The way i understood it, the demon changed motors yesterday after their run to a C class motor. So don't think there is a return run for them. What happened to the A motor? Don't know. I think they want a balls out run today. Ron gave an update late yesterday. Perhaps he will update us.

Thanks for the update guys. Fingers crossed for a fast run out of C motor this morning. On another note, does anyone know what happened to Flashpoint yesterday?  They posted on FB that they were going to throw the kitchen sink at it, but I never heard them make a pass.

Thank you for the speed info.  Alp has blown the doors off the record and proved his concept works.  Fantastic design.

Question, I suppose there is not enough time for back-up runs and no fast cars were a leg up on records, so....If Turbinator, Speed Demon, Flashpoint and Carbonite make hero runs today it is for the
sole purpose of getting Top Speed Trophy at the end of this monumental week?

Record return runs will be held as possible – It'll be near impossible for all to get 4 hours in Impound for maintenance.

Return runs for todays qualifiers begin at noon
Unless it's crazy, ambitious and delusional, it's not worth our time!
