Far away from all the drivers, engineers, race teams and fans sits Ohio State University's Buckeye Bullet. This 314-mph electric powered streamliner gets refueled with the gasses it needs to generate its own electricity.  
Sorry, guys; different car!
Another would be journalist who didn't do his homework.
THIS Buckeye Bullet is the big disapointment of the meet.
The PURE electric unit was here several years back and went 314,
This slug needs a good rocket assisted take off unit.

Just before I left the salt yesterday I had a chance to talk with one of the OSU crewmembers as they were refueling.  He said that they'd finally found most of the bugs and had just run 276. 

Up until then it had been (as Ron Christensen put it) "another disappointment from the Buckeye Bullet."  However, it seems they were on the right track. 

I reminded the crew member about checking tire pressure.  He didn't know why I said that, although he said, "they're sure picky about that."  I explained how they'd left impound with a nearly-flat tire in 06 (I think) on a record return.  His eyes got real big and he said, "No wonder!"

So although it had been a real dismal performance most of the week, it seems that they were getting things together.
