Dave Haller's car, Dennis Lindberg driving, is on the course now.  Quarter mile speed:  Chute out at the quarter mile.  Never mind.

148 or so before throwing the laundry, but ran 209 in the same stretch yesterday.

12 auto shop students from Provo High School are having a day on the salt with 2 of their teachers.  I can see the wheels turning for a class project.  Sent them down the the Granite Falls pit.

Glen, the 444 Vesco Little Giant is about a half-dozen cars behind us in the line.  I think this'll be their first run of the day.

\In case you didn't see the earlier post, folks, a crew member of one of the race vehicles had a medical emergency about at the line this morning, so the ambulance was off the salt with said  crew for a while - during record return runs.  That's what put everything way behind schedule and why the lines are so long this morning.

A 150 Club car just ran and qualified.

The Carter Family Flyer AA/GMS 'Vette just ran about 6 mph off the record -- 257 or so last mile, back door in the very low 260s.

Glen, 444 ran earlier and she clicked it at the 1. Must have been a quick fix.

Jon, I think the CB speaker is to close to Ron's Mic. As it is hard  to understand the CB.
Over modulating.

Tman, you are excused from being productive as long as you look it.

I just talked with Mark DeLuca.  This morning's run 218 quarter, 227 first mile, then turnout -- was 'cause he chunked a tire.  He's just found a bead breaker and will change tires and get back to it soon.  Well, soon as the 3-4 hour long line allows, that is.

I agree with that, it would be helpful if you repeated the essentials of whats announced on the CB.
