August 14, 2007 Evening Update

Well, I’m back in impound and I have some more updates to post. (Thanks, by the way, to all the people in impound who are nice enough to take the time to answer my questions. I know sometimes every second counts during that 4 hour window.)

- #998 Royal Purple, class AA/FS, Terry Nish – owner, Mike Nish – driver. This vehicle was pursuing their own standing record of 373 mph. Today, Mike ran 306 in the quarter, 323 in the first mile, 359 in the middle, and 380 in the last mile with an exit speed of 385 mph. This is now the fastest time of the meet so far.

The times for this diesel streamliner today were 212.960 in the quarter, 227.434 in the first mile, 257.677 in the middle, and 264.928 in the last. Unfortunately, the vehicle most likely will not be making their record return run tomorrow due to some mechanical problems.
