Flashpoint lost body panels.

Demon lost a fuel pump drive but working to fix and make another run.

Carbinator lost a motor.

Yes, carbonite guys lost a turbo as per their text feed. Which by the way I wish more teams would do. I got updates all week long on my phone

Sounds like the 400mph+ hitters are done for the week. And what a great week it was. Congrats to Turbinator II on their top speed of the meet.

Thank you very much to Slim and Rich for bringing us the play-by-play.  :cheers:

Jon, after setting a record (return run) you must go directly to impound.

Jon this is after setting the record not after a qualifying pass, after QUALIFYING you have an hour  to get there

Kudos to Danny Thompson and Turbinator II. Very deserving to them both. Thanks Slim and Ron for all you did. Have a safe drive home Slim and Nancy and will look for your added post in a couple of weeks. Mark.
