SSS, I don't think you remember me, but i'm thinking i met you once at Maxton; anyway, thanks a million for all the pix & updates!  

Could that be young man Ostergard on the right fiddlin' with his signature white sunglasses?

George Poteet in the 715 C/BFS just ran 376 middle mile -- which qualified him.  But no, he didn't lift -- last mile was 408.460 and exit speed 421.009.

Dang, wait'll they step up the tuneup!  Congratulations.  I'll post and add some more.

This morning Lelie Porterfield bumped the 1000 P/P bike record to about 197 and Kathy Butler bumped it a bit, too.  And Andy Sills is here to work on it as well.  Competition in the liter bike class!.

Sheri Buchta just ran -- about 2 mph off the 125 or so she needed.

Don Jackson backed up his record on the 350 Turbo Yamaha -- didn't have the final number, but he thinks it'll be in the low 100 range.  Open record -- but he's a rookie this year (having spectated with son Gus for a long time) - so he doesn't realize what a great thing it is to get a record at Bville -- whether open or soft or whatever.  Congratulations.

Here's a shot of the Demon leaving the line.

Don Jackson told me he was waiting for the motor in the Yamaha to blow all to h*ll; I'm sure glad to hear that he backed the record up.

Ray, it's all yours for a while.  We're heading to Smith's to buy the food for Salt Talks right now -- oughta be back on the salt by 12.30 (it's 11.15 right now).  Later -- and it's all yours

My friend Danny Burrow was supposed to make a backup run in the Blowfish this morning.  Any numbers?

I heard that he backed up the record,  but I don't have the speed.

Thank you RtR and S3.
Pix so good, I shed a tear cuz I aint there.  

S3- Please post up Nancy's progress, as well as the big turbo bikes from Shane Stubbs, et.al.
Especially since both of mine are napping in the garage right now.  

Good luck to all

RTR, SSS and Nancy,
Thanks for all the great coverage, I'll have to get a new keyboard. It's the beginning of Speedweek and my refresh button is already worn out.
Steve, at least we're not alone in missing the action...comfort in numbers, right?  Not.

 :cheers:I'm sittin' here in Arizona missing the Salt also!  Oh well, a new keyboard won't hurt either!  thanks again folks for the coverage!    Crow.  LFFL

JC- are you feeling the pain too?  The good news is my Chevron & Conoco Fuel bill will be lower this month.
I thought you and Dave were going for sure? I'm so depressed about not being there, I may just start Drinking again.

 We keep blowing the front cylinder on the Knuck...hope to get it fixed for good by Elmo Sept meet. My bike is waiting for a new top end...meanwhile....here I sit. Okay, back to the shop.....Yeah it's Sunday. No rest for racers!
Anxious to see/hear Cathy Butler's speed along with hundred's of others.
