We will have to wait for the racers or spectators to chime in.  Results may be up later tonight or tomorrow.

111 entries. Fastest time when I left was 238 with a Flathead Ford for power. As I remember 6 of the first 8 vehicles set records. F/STR record was upped quite a bit by Mariani Farms (sp). I don't think Noonan set a record on his first run, but it looked like you would be able to get at least 3 runs today if you wanted, and the weather held. I saw Kent Richies in motorcycle impound. Weather was perfect with a 5 mph tail wind while I was there.

Sorry I was too busy socializing, and that is all I remember.

Tom,
    Don't tease me like that, how much did Mariani up the F/STR record?

Jim,

I was surprised they were running F class. I wish I had good new for you but as I recall the announcer said they were running on a 151 record, and I think? he said they ran 167. I do know he said they really upped the record. Sorry, didn't you and your Son hold the record?

Tom,
     Yes at 150.149 but they are only temporary anyway. I think it is neat we will have another car in our class. Do you know what they were running for a powerplant?

Jimmy Stevens Flathead went 238 to reset the XF/BFS record in Jack Costella's Streamliner, Rick Yacoucci once again at the controls. Not sure if they got Top Speed again, but I think so...................

Jim,

Don't know what type of motor. I did hear it from a distance and it sounded good.

Rick and I got top speed of the May and June events (car and bike) last meet he hurt the engine and still ran 229  to my 242, this event he ran 238 to my 235 however he got top time of the meet.. :wink:

Congrats to Jack, Rick and their team. :cheers:

John, congratulations once again! 235 with a "crap" course is great, so don't worry be happy. You are still the fastest bike rider at Elmo and might be for some time to come.

John did a great job based on conditions of the track. Congrats John for being the fastest bike again!

We ran starting position 65, and by that time, the coarse was already getting chewed up pretty bad. I hugged the right side cones and stayed there as long as I could. We turned 154.754 on my little 600cc bike, which is up just a smidge from last month.

By round 2, it was slushy snow under power. I backed off considerably just to make a safe pass. It was nasty from 1/4 way down to the end. I even washed the front a little just before the lights. Scary stuff, so best to slow down and just make a safe pass and go home.

Sunday AM was stellar for weather. It was nice to finally run in the morning for once.

Other great performances by all the clubs including Rod Riders with 6 record passes, SDRC with 3 records, GG with 2, Michelle Brading with Eliminators got 1,     Rick Yacoucci and Super Fours got 1 with a 238.321MPH pass, and LSR and GoldCstRdsts also making record passes.

See you all in July !

Dan,
     Is it one side like Russ Eyers or two and two like Fred Larsens. They are going to be tough to beat as they ran 198 at Bonneville with their E motor.
