On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

Any chance we will see the Amo-Steele Streamliner at one of the shootout events? I miss the 411 running.  Tom G. |

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Scott Horner is going to trailer his bike to the pit -- not ride it, not make a return run at least for now. I'm heading for the bluye room -- back ina minnit. Scott's okay as far as I know -- he's talking with the course worker -- sounds like he's not happy with the bike/the tuneup and will go to the pit for a little while.
The Camaro might run again soon.

Many things I don't undersand but one thing I do know;
3600 divided by the number of seconds is MPH.
It doesn't seem that there can be any variation unless it is the number of decimal points after the whole number.
Educate me, Please, you mathematical wizards.
The car only runs one speed thru the mile.....it matters not how it is arrived at.
It's not like the bank figuring your mortgage payment.

FIA uses all of the dec. points. In SCTA the program converts the ET. 3 dec. points to MPH and there is a difference in the totals. SCTA does not round up the numbers.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I vaguely remember a preliminary entry list for this event coming out earlier this year and that list included the 411 Burkland streamliner? Just wondering if that was at all a possibility, or have the Burkland's parked the 411 permanently?

All is good thanks JN. Found some moist salt ( better than the soup) and got some hp down. Stopped short to minimize the salt on the bike. Bike ran great, I had to REALLY feather it in the mile, the back end was racing the front to the finish. Thanks for your help John N!  |

3600/seconds is for the mile only.
Using Speed Demon's run:
3600/8.711=413.270577430835
3600/8.711291=413.256772159259
3600/8.712=413.223140495868
SCTA timing using 3 decimal places resolves to 0.0474369349668109 mph
FIA timing using 6 decimal places resolves to 0.0000474392056162287 mph
And Glen, as usual, is right!

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Thanks for saving me the time and giving a better story, Scott.
Okay, the Spectre team fired up the motor while I was on my sabbatical to the PP just now. Ken explains that they made a half-way decent pass, but are re-tuning and hoping to get back on the race course soon.
Now I hear the Spectre team is getting in the truck. The Rogers Camaro is running right next to Nancy and me.
Ack Attack team are flying out to San Jose to get more tires. Rocky still has handling issues -- they're going to try to find more/better/different(?) tires so he can open the throttle. He says the bike has all the power he wants for now -- but he can't ride it with the funky tires.

If the round up is the difference between 3 decimal points and more than 3 it can't be much of a variance.
4 or more will lower the result unless they are all ZEROs.
That's what Einstein said in his last speech.

So is Glenn FREUD and Einstein.
The time when they are equal is when all the numbers beyond 3 decimal points are ALL ZEROS.

Slim... Thanks to you and Nancy... RaytheRat, and all the rest of the folks that are letting us in on what's going on. I cant' get photos on these durn DOD computers, but I can look at them when I get home next week. I've just spent 3 months in Kuwait getting training equipment ready to go to Buttheadastan ( So of course I missed SW again, but will be there fer sure next year!) I will be back in the states next week, and if I have any money left in the bank I'll send you some Golden Croners. Thank again.... Smitty |

Actually it wasn't a speech. It was a private conversation with Butch at the starting line at El Mirage. Ask him about it sometime. Wayno |

jack Rogers Camaro, driven by Steve Strupp, is under way. He'll run three miles. They're tuning -- and having fun. Big smiles on Steve's face, on Jack's, on everyone. What a rush to run on darn-near private course, hey?
Through the three mile, sounding sweet. Chute out at the three and a half -- no speeds.
Turned towards the mountains, all's okay, Spectre car is on the way to the 12 mile for a run.

Wayno, Einstein said the same thing more than once in his life.
As I recall it was in 1941 in New Mexico when they were considering a beer run.
ETA was important to them.
