Some interesting occurrence ... course held twice for moose ... REALLY

We only hold the course at El Mirage for wind and dust. No critters up there.

Glen ... Moose was right at timing traps on the big end ... we couldnt see it from the starting line. But it was out there a couple of times. Finally the Fire Department went out with the engine blasting the air horn and siren and he departed the area.

Joe Timney ran 200 on one of Guthrie's bikes ... I made 3 runs all 153 mph ... consistant but about 7 mph under where I wanted to be ... Bike ran straight and true, handling was excellent. When I get out to Dan's (NRHS) we can work on the missing speed.

Did anyone get timing slips?

I just haven't found the results.

Anyone know anything about this car
Half Fast Racing   Eric Swarr   At the first meet at Maxton this year it ran 205.91467.
Hopefully that class designation on the window is just sloppy handwriting.  Surely they aren't running that thing as a Blown Gas Coupe   :?


Surely, surely not .../BGT if it retains the orginal blower configuration .. /BGMS if it was switched over to a turbo.
