Ah, let's see what I've missed.  Fiorst of all -- a quick look at the weather shows some nasty looking stuff about a half hour west of here, but the wind is calm -- so no worries yet.  It's cloudy and about 83 right now -- flag shows a bit of a tailwind, maybe 3-6 mph.

I ran a 193.95 -- and found the front brake a tad HOT when back in the pit.  Guess it swelled up a bit from sitting too long.

A Silverado p/u just ran a 121 mph.  Old Ford p/u runs 99.24 -- running P/P.  Mmm, only 21.something mph faster in 60 years? 

ZX10 bike through the lights at 190.  #9623 Ninja 250 goes 112.260

Has the Red Hot Racing Camaro ran yet?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Maybe, maybe not.  I don't have a run log -- and don't remember what the number is.  Maybe if you give me a hint -- but only MAYBE>>>

I think it was the Van Blarcom roadster that just ran a 198.449 -- didn't hear the announcement of the number.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

The Crosley Ice Cream Truck just went through at about 72 mph -- with the crowd and the announcer shouting at him -- "PULL YOUR CHUTE!".  Nancy's getting a photo for you now -- I'll have it posted in a while.

The black clouds are getting near:

Clown Ice Cream Truck -- and Clown Shoes.  Match this, El Mirage!

[116ciHemi]

Number 9232. I think.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Joe Ledford in the #55 roadster ran a 194 just now.  A nice quiet 'Vette runs through at 125.902 mph.  Had the headlights on -- that must be it.

#9165 next -- Porsche 149.271 mph

Thanks, Walt -- I'll see if I can find anything for you.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Okay, Walt -- the 9232 ran a 190.2 for a record, but overheated the motor just enough later  - to pop a seal in the water pump (think that's what he told me).  They're on the trailer right now but'll be back on the track in the morning.

The preceding report brought to you after a quick ride on the pit bike.  Wayne Jesel, by the way, said they got a record -- but had his head under the engine and I couldn't hear what else he said.  And HVAC MPP ran a 162.5.

[116ciHemi]

Thanks. I bet that water pump is going to be a pain to change, the turbo is right in front of it.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

So -- no more sprinkles at the pits, and Nancy and I moseyed to pre-stage -- only to hear that only 150 and under vehicles are being sent to the staging line.  Okay -- and just now a bike ran a 203, and a minute ago a roadster at 176, and Sal Spatafora a 220.  Hunh?

Enjoyed the show.  Was nice to see a variety of vehicles out on the track.  Left before the rain got a chance to ruin the event.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

So -- there we were, in line, and the rain slowed and picked up and drizzled and stopped and started and -- we went back to the pit, put the bike in the trailer, and here we are at the Pine Acres waiting to see where dinner will be celebrated tonight.  I doubt that we missed any runs -- will fill you in in the morning if we did.

Oh, yeah -- Bill Warner did make a 272 pass -- .384, I think it was.  Don't know what his biggest number was last month so I can't compare down to the nuts.

See you tomorrow.  List your questions and I'll try to answer 'em later on.

[John Noonan]

Jon,

Thanks for the reporting and congrats to Bill for once again running the 272 number 

[Dan Stokes]

Thanks for the running commentary.  I HATE not being there!  Starting to feel slightly better but still glad I didn't come and infect a bunch of you.

GREAT work, Bill.  Is he going to be the first in the ECTA 3 Club?
