Okay, while we wait -- let's get serious about a webcast (or call it what you will) from out here.  I've wanted to do it for a couple of years, but am not technologically advanced enough to know how to do it.  If you know the necessary stuff -- streaming audio online, internet connectivity speed required, and necessary programs in this computer -- you let me know offline.

I know how to gather the various audio streams and merge them, I know how to work with the sanctioning organizations to get their permission for streaming audio, I know what streams of audio I'd put on here, and I especially know how to find sponsors to fund the process and the program -- so if you and I get together we could ALL hear Glen saying "Take that puppy to impound!" next year.

I'm waiting to hear from you.  Thanks.

Two Questions-
I know that Dale Gullett was thinking about installing the nitrous system on Cliff's Warrior and making a run  - can anyone tell me if he is running, and if so, with or without nitrous....
also Wink Eller was going to have his bike ridden by Valerie Thompson, but i have not seen or heard anything about it this week------ is Wink there with the bike (which he renamed "The Spirit of Cliff Gullett") and set a record (I believe # 48 or # 49 on that bike) at Speed Week.

Also - thanks to Slim for all the great updates and continuing information -what great coverage - .......
I know all agree they are grateful for the info......!!!

Mike

The car is Tom and Diane Mellors ride from Vancouver

It's a 1950 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn which I think belonged to his late father, reckons it's comfortable and economical and must turn a few heads on the highway



The photo is from 2008, if you look closly you'll see the bike has grown in length

K:

Late yesterday afternoon I visited Dale in the pit and he asked me about the required safety shield over the end of a nitrous bottle.  He was installing it as I left there -- so take that for an answer for now.  I'll check it out when we eventually make it to the pits.

As for Winkn's bike -- will do, soon.

Tom Mellor's Rolls-Royce -- left the start line before I could gegt the photo.  Later, Mike.

Canopy down on Sam's bike, now canopy open.  Looks like Terry's kneeling next to the bike -- Sam must be inside.  They won't let us closer.

Tightening the tow strap.

On the throttle.  Spun up in first gear, into second, out of sight and sound.
Moving along -- nice little rooster tail.

On course at the two.

999 by the three, looking good.

Accelerating nicely.

By four, looking good, in visual range of the tower.
