Scott's second run was 182.966mph with a lot of wheelspin and he declined to make another run due to increasing winds. He is on his way home now.

They got in 3 rounds today, Mike Cook top speed I think @ 214 mph, Rice & Vigent set a record at 195 in the H/lakester. Thats all I have heard so far.

Went up yesterday to do Starting line Set-up. At noon there were only about a dozen cars in Tech. Leaving at about 2:30 it was about the same. I figured if the winds held up that people could make multiple runs. Wish I had the Roadster there!

Leaving the Lakebed was really dicey. A lot of dust was blowing. Kept looking for oncoming headlights!

From Phelan you could not see the Lakebed. Glad they got in multiple runs.

It must of been that fender..........Noonan ran the side car and I believe as I was pulling out he was headed to impound, not sure of the speed.

I think this internet thing might work out.  Really fast results.  Kudos to those responsible.
