More photos, and the latest scoop. First of all, some photos of the Speed Demon. Doesn't look pretty, but there's some good news.
Hre's the back part of the cover after the fire:
But here're a couple of shots of Dan Warner measuring the motor. Yes, you can see lots of melted wiring and hoses and smoke damage -- but I guess the average is high enough to get hands dirty and certify the displacement.
ALso - the Kuryakyn bike being moved around right in front of Nancy and me, so whynot take a photo?
And back before the conflagration -- the Speed Demon leaving the line on the return run:
Other stuff: The Nish car's motor just was fired up -- nice sounding little 800-inch putt-putt! Makes it obvious why the rocker covers say "Frankenstein". Also - - The Mormon Missile was idling over in their pit but hasn't moved. The Ack bike can't run for another hour or two, even if the wind dies down dead. It seems Rocky sent the fancy helmet, with communications and such, back to Ask Avionics for some check-out -- and when they packed the trailer for the tripout here the helmet didn't get included. Said hard hat is forecast to arrive by Mike A's plane very soon now. Buckeye Bullet is still going to run in a half-hour -- that's the word for the past two hours. But I won't say nasty things -- sure enough, Ray's right -- OSU's wi-fi is back in service.
Oh, yeah -- I didn't mention anything new about the Burkland 'liner. It's still sitting in front of their trailer, with the usual big crowd looking in awe.
