Well not exactly... the qualifier is in the books... the record could be reset in the morning... 

[trimmers]

Stainless is correct.  Although they qualified at 328MPH against Buckeye Bullet's 314MPH E3 National Record, they've still got to back it up.  Plus, they'll have to add even more to exceed the Bullet's 341.264MPH FIA A-VIII-8 World Record for fastest EV that was set at the Shootout back in 2016.    And even if they do, it wouldn't count as an official "World" record, as WF isn't an FIA-sanctioned/operated event.   But go get that E3 record Team Vesco!

Would it be possible to get a list of qualifiers in impound? Really interested in the C/AIR guys.
Wish I could have gone but work is just over the top right now.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for the updates

For the sake of the discussion, the list of vehicles in impound - - - is two lists, first of all.  The car inspectors and bike inspectors each list who's in impound and give those lists to Keith Pedersen.  He's the guy that actually produces the list that I use in the announce trailer for return runs.   Keith prepares the four-part list overnight and leaves it in my pigeon hole at the motel for me to get before I go to the salt.  Good luck on getting one for yourself.

It's 4 parts - Long course and short (combined with short-short course) course cars and long course and short (combined) course bikes.  That's why you can hear Ron and me shuffling through paper all the time (as we try to locate the correct sheet).

Why can't they get 'em posted that quickly at Speedweek, too?

   I'm anxious to see which class the Aardema lakester is running. Either E gas or C it should get a record.

[trimmers]

According to the already-posted run info, it's running in "E".

Just maybe because they have one paid employee.  And, Slim, you're lucky to have that list at SpeedWeek.  It's probably not easily available later.

We must remember (as I've been told) . . . "The SCTA is an amateur-run organization -- and they prove it all the time."  That has no bearing on them also being the best.

[trimmers]

I think you're missing the point.  The fact is that they got the results posted the day after the runs took place.  It makes no difference if they have one paid employee or 1000.   They did it.  So, why can't they do the same at Speedweek?
