World Finals

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Course hold on #1 -- parts on the course.  Still in line on #1 course -- #66, 589, 527, 7272,  534, and others I can't see from my vantage point - which is next to Nancy in the cab of the truck.  I'll keep an eye out for you folks.

By the way, don't forget that you can go to the topic here called "Wolrd Finals Audio" to find a link to Meridix -- and then you can listen to the course announcer - the same guy we're listening to.  Thanks one more time to KH for getting the system put together and for everyone that's helped keep it running on this maiden attempt at serving up Bonneville audio live.

Sounds like bike 968 may have just bumped Ryan's rec by just a hair. Have to wait for the official word to see if I heard that right.
Williams/Horner entry so that's Jamie Williams isn't it? That could be another red hat. hmmm the plot thickens!

Can we get a pic of the Ferrari?

Patience, man.  Instant photos aren't possible.  I'd explain the process, but it'd take too long.  Just realize that someone has to be on the course shooting the photo, then transfer from camera to computer, then edit and post via an Android tether that's very little better than tin cans and string.

Here are some I shot from the line during record returns...including the Ferrari.

Thank you RTR for all you do! I know it is not easy but we all sure appreciate all you do.
The Ferrari is awsome!

When I raced at World of Speed in Sept, I spoke to the owner of Ferrari #7007, he was going for his A license (needed over 200mph) but only did 187mph.  I see his is back again, nice photo of the 1.2M$ car, but can you also take a picture of the Black Ferrari car #288 that went so fast yesterday, thanks for your great photos of cars and bikes,  Dave

I'm gonna BMW (bitch, moan and whine) about something going on at the starting lines.  There's no one policing the spectators that are very close to the cars that are about to launch and those who end up WAY beyond the zero mile mark.  And then there are some folks with media credentials who just don't care about anyone else.  They step right in front of everyone without regard for anyone else.  Paparazzi mentality I spose. 

Check the photo and you'll see a very young child very close to the race car at the line...and one of the worst offenders for jumping in front of others with his little point 'n shoot camera.  I've already told him to look behind him before he jumps out bit all it got me was a lotta dirty Euro looks.

I'm moving to the 3 mile so I can get some speed shots.

Got the confirmation from Ryan, he did it!!! Congrats buddy you so deserve it!

MPS/F-1650, on motor!  No altered tail, no spray, 215mph in less-than optimal conditions, WTFG man  

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Mike Cook 598 car is started and about to run.  C/GMS  off the truck and accelerating down the course.

Sounds good, Glen says -- 240.245 quarter speed,  245.165 first mile,  253 middle mile  256.358 last mile, 257 exit.

What I think I heard was a 214.609 which would match with his 215.4 from yesterday to give a 215.004.
Ryan I believe netted out to a 214.894 in the same class.

If I've got the facts right Ryan bumps the rec a hair & grabs a red hat then Jamie bumps it a hair more also for a hat.

At this point all to be considered speculation until someone (impound?) can verify. Also requires bike approval by impound.

Hope I'm right, that would be great for both!

527 Chock Full o' Nuts is next -- AA/PP  Jim Webb and helpers.  #66 C/FR next after 527, the Pat Womack.

527  quarter speed  202,  first mile 206.549   middle mile 211.573   last mile 212.454   go to impound.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Next will be the 66 BMR Racing car, C/FR.  Fogie at the controls.  211.869  2 mile,  quarter 237,  first mile 248.535,  middle mile 276.079 and pulled the chute.

Pat Womack is next on the 1974 naked M/BG 1350 bike.  Glen reports he having troubles.  Probably will turn out.  Sorry to hear that for Pat -- he did rev the daylights out of it leaving the line - and still moved slowly, slowly.

1768 next -- but we must bew waiting for Pat to clear the course, or maybe he hurt parts and dropped them. . .no report on the radio.
