Well lets get to it...........
Not a report that I want to write. Midmorning Marlo was in line. I went to the 2 1/2 mile to do fotos. Les never
got to me under power. At about the 2 they sneezed the front blower, big time pop and the chute was out as he
went past me. A lot happened. The rear engine had a fire and burned the mag, the plug wires and some hoses down.
Besides that, it blew a body panel completely off the left front corner. The parachute camera caught the panel as the
car drove away from it. Les was in no danger at any time. There are many questions to be answered but at this time
I have not asked them. I do not think the car will be ready for Speed Week. I'll just keep watching and listening and
when I know I well tell. I may post fotos tonight. They are in the camera but I still have other things to do. We are NOT
sitting on the fotos. They will all be shown so be patient. Wish I could have had better things to tell.
The car will go to Marlo's shop in Oregon and then to Hume's place for cosmetic surgery.
Certainly it's a set back but at this sage of this project there's no backing down.
