  The SCTA web site always had a results page that they posted the car # and speed.  Can't find it?? They also had the qualifiers and backup runs.  Help!!!!

They redid the entire website not long ago.  There is a message that pops up when you get to their site, and asks if you want to see the Speed Week updates.

Must have been serious. This is a long down time.

Lattin says we'll be back running in 5 min.

Please remember that Ron and I have no information to offer about the incident.  SCTA/BNI will provide any comments.

Mine stays in all the time. Results on the SCTA website are usually 2-3 days late. They usually don?t enter it in the middle of the night. The last day maybe a week since the volunteers entering enter it after they get home.

We're done for the day.  Back tomorrow morning for record return runs at 7.30.  There are about 10 vehicles in impound.

G'Night.

WoW-o-wow-o-man is the smoke thick and pungent tonight.  It's difficult to tell how bad it's making visibility (it's dark out there, yanno), but it is thick enough to burn my eyes a tad.  Sure hope it's clear(er) by morning.

Three separate incidents and three drivers/riders flown to hospital in one day.  I have been following Speed Week on-line for about as many years as it has been possible, and that seems like an extraordinarily high number.

Might there be a common cause?
