WOOHOO!!  :cheers:

Jon Amo goes 219 in the 4th and 5th mile, so should be good for a 221+ new record and a new hat  :clap

Nice work gents! And it's only Mon morning :)

Slim, thanks....you maybe don't know how tough it is to stay again away from the salt for another year....


by the way.....I heard Jon (Amo) make it.....so great for Jon and the Bockscar team....

looks that he really likes to drive the 2.0 ....this was only his third full run with the 2.0.....

but I couldn't hear the speed......

Good morning all - listening in Florida today but missed the record runs this morning due to pesky business meetings.  Anyone know if if car 383 AA/BGALT made their record run successfully?

Listening in from England. Loud and clear.
Thanks for the streaming gents. I cant tell you how good it feels to be able to catch up and get a salty fix after everything. We cant get out there from the UK, but man it is great to listen in.

I'm back home and you're coming in loud and clear!    Many thanks, Slim!    And thanks to you and all the other 200/300/400MPH Club members who autographed the aluminum door panels for my 1959 Commer Cob!  I'll be back with them in Tech at World of Speed hoping to get even more signatures!

    Eddie Marlen runs 305MPH in #66 B/FR. That is a unreal speed for a NA engine in a brick. Hopefully they can get diff. fixed and run again.

The web link isn't working.  But, it's just a Facebook video at the below page.  Today is the last day he will be there.
