Well, Target 550 stripped gears again at WoS so they headed home. Speed Demon already holds the records for the class it would have run in, so Poteet had nothing to really gain except additional expenses. The Triumph streamliner bike was there, but didn't fare well at all. ACK Attack was there - just in case - but they, too, already have the record. Valerie Thompson (BuB 7 streamliner) was going to try in October, but the prospects for that don't sound good now.
As for the other streamliners, Buckeye Bullet (341+), the little Honda (261+), and Truz Missile (263+) all set records. I never did hear what Barnyard Bearcat did - if they ran at all.
Danny Thompson blew a tire ("blowed a tar" for you NASCAR fans out there) at about 413 GPS MPH. He had started at mile 11, and it blew around mile 8. His entry speed (from the 6-mile to 999.6' less than 6) was still 360MPH. This was on a 414+ record, so he was definitely looking good. Although he got it stopped without further problems, it did too much damage for them to repair on the spot. When he came by the timing trailer (at 5-1/2) we could see the body panel was gone from over the L/R tire. I heard later it screwed up a driveshaft, too. I ran into him at the truck stop as he was heading back to Colorado, and he sounded like if he could secure sponsorship, he'd consider another shot, despite having said earlier this was it.
I think that covers 'em all.
