Yes, Charles Nearburg is the owner/driver of Spirit of Rett.

Isn't that the car formerly owned by Harold Nafziger?

Howard built it, Earl Wooden bought it and later sold to Charles Nearberg.

I was hoping to be ready this year but I had an eleven month delay on the pinion overdrive units & then they ended up being longer than the dummy units I had built around. I've managed to modify the chassis in the front to make it work there but it's just too long to fit in the rear. I have a 43ft liner thats 2" too short so it's next year for me now.

All those delays seem to be aging you.  You're up to 161 years old according to your profile.  Better hurry up!

Good clip. I talked to them last year at SW & checked out the liner, my kind of people.
I wish them good luck in the same class I'll be running.

 :-D Hi all,

Well, I'm back this year, all booked up, but I don't think I'll go anywhere near 400mph...
 
But the bike will...anyway...of sorts...since it's being air freighted  :lol:

Just hope I'll manage more than one run in a week... That was a poor record in 2011  8-)
