We had a bearing fail on the Muncie trans in Max's liner, and we found one in SLC. We heard Nick was already on his way there on his own parts search, so he will pick it up for us. Thanks again Nick, we really appreciate your help. Just might have time to get the new bearing in and make a run today.

I'm afraid Freud was sorta right when he said I'd traded in my photo vest for a helmet.  Well, not entirely.  I shot Record Returns and some other stuff.  Jim got 2 runs in with the truck and I got 1.  Speed is up to 110.  I only have 1 left on my ticket, but that's ok, I need to split soon to cover a sports car national event at Miller's.

Here are a few from Returns.

I visited the desk at impound a little while ago and got some records and some of today's qualifiers.  I say some -- I don't see Dean Sabatinelli or Mark Deluca, but this is what I did see.

31   Burkdoll/Hawley    I/MMP    104.713    108.209    106.461   (By the way, this truck just ran a few minutes ago and put down another qualifier -- 108++).

3411  (bike)  John LeVie/Scott Guthrie Racing  M/PS/PG 50  51.690   60.412   56.051

9506   Greg Wisler - Wisler Racing/PT   C/GC   237.494   242.263   239.878

That's the list I've got of new records.  Here's the qualifiers from today as of about 12.30PM

136   Mackichan and Schulz  D/FS   324.127

503   Bob Powers    G/BFMR    207.364

9392   Jeff Bailey's Speed Shop- Jeff Bailey  A-PG 3000  180.535

That's it for now.  We're in line again -- gonna try to bump the yesterday run of 194.0 and today's of 194.05 or so.  Tried a few things - we'll see. . .

That sucks. Do they run really special wheels that nobody has a spare?

Mike

I asked Jim that very question on Wednesday.  He said it was a Suzuki GSXR 1000.

Just noticed there has not been much posted today at all from the salt... Exception of some great pictures from Ray the Rat. Last I say Ray was busting his but on that pickup that they have there for the 130 club....

I was not out of pits at all today we are packing up and ready for the haul home.
Our first pass was 228 with a 234 exit. This pass was to check out the new front end and a parachute deployment test to see how the car felt. Car did pull left a little and parachutes were ok at that speed. This was a new engine and we wanted to check the data and see how it was going. We had a really safe tuneup in the car. we noticed only one spot on the low end where it could have used some more fuel and I made that adjustment. This was the point where the car leaves the push truck. The instruction was to shift this run at about 8000 rpm. Stainless was a little busy in the car during the run and didn't notice he was shifting a little sooner each shift.

Took the car back and worked on it most of day and got it in line. Five cars back we noticed something leaking from car. Pulled body off of the car and found the output seal from the B&J trans popped out. Cory and I went to panic mode and starting pulling stuff off the car to get to the seal and got it put back in. We got back in the rotation in the line and got it fired and checked and we had intentions to run a good number this time. We got off the truck real good and sounded much better about the 1 1/2 mile Stainless clicked it off. Engine shut off, had a hard time shifting and heard a pop and bang.  Got the liner back to pits and found the front dust cover came off and spit it out about the 1 mile. They did end up finding it for us. So we got that all solved and went back out in morning and checked things out.

This morning we found two plugs broken off where the wire insulator ended. A quick trip over to Rick and a quick blurb about what happened, Rick had an answer and off we went with 6 new plugs. Got them installed, fired the motor. Noise in engine. Pulled pan and found the rod on top of the crank. We loaded the car tonight.

So I have been busy on the salt, but I still pay some attention and found some quick blurbs here and there.

Speedway guys had a great pass at I believe 324 on a 290 and change record on a Nish 310 record. That car sounded real good going by.

Dean Sabentelli (Spelling is probably wrong) ran 224 mph in MPS-BF 1000cc and is in impound. He is on his Third tire of the meet. Two other "Race" tires chunked pretty heavily. One of them down to the cords. However no pressure loss.

Mark Deluca back in impound with a pair of miles in the 249 range. I think we could see a 250 NA record in the morning.

Kim Creb (spelling) on the 750 Turbo bike with went about the same speed of 223 (Maybe 222), they changed the tail section and didn't seem to improve speed, in fact was same performance as stock tail.

Mormon Missle showed us and it was like a bunch of ants working in an ant hill. I was not able to stop and check things out.
Looked like Roger Lessman had the motor put back in his streamliner after a clutch exploded a day before.

Yes Spirit of Rhett has top time of the meet. They went back to the fuel motor from last year. I had heard rumors that the blown motor was hurt right before they installed it. There was rumor that he was only testing parachutes on the car this meet in preperation of the meet next week. When doing the blown motor I heard that the car was stretched 3-4 feet. So partially a new body on it. It was be a great story of facts if someone could see and talk to them to make sure this is accurate.

Mad Max had a bearing failure on the Lambky Liner. However these guys don't give up. They are working on a fix. I heard this at about the 2 mile today. Goes strong and when the 1-2 shift came in, it was missed which seemed like twice then he got it in gear and it roared off into the sunset. 200 mph exit. Max has gotten 8 runs out of these engines without major problems so that if anything is an accomplishment. No chain problems.

When George Fields made his 308 mph run in his coupe it was only on 3 cylinders. That is just amazing. That is pretty much the car to watch and listen to when it goes by. Those guys always get my vote for wrench of the meet.

Burkdolls got that silly truck in impound with a 105 mph pass. GSXR 1000 engine. It was fun after every run them manufacturing some type of air box coming into the truck. These guys I think put this together in a couple weeks before the event. even funnier to hear it coming down the course. They are having a blast with it.
