Hey Slim!  Now that they've got the A/BFS record, is the Speed Demon team packing up?  Or, are they sticking around, perhaps to try for a one-time pass higher than Danny Thompson's, to get their name on the trophy again?

On FB, it says they are changing to a C motor.

Anybody know when they are going to post the runs?  I thought they were usually up for the previous day by dinner time, but none of the links are active on the SCTA website.

I remember waiting 3 months to read about Bonneville in results in the 50's waiting for coverage in
HR magizine and my hero Karol Miller. Now it seemed I want it right now. I'll be there in October to see Danny make another attemp with his mom Judy,  And hopefully help Charlie Reno with his AA/ BGMR.
The rest is all BS, now I'll just waiting for Marlo and Rick and the Turbinator. I will always be a spectator first. Racing is my pashin but the love it is always #1.

Hey, all.  Yeah, a bit of chaos in the live streaming.  I think I've got it squared away for Monday.  The new computer's analogy input uses a 4 conductor jack - all we had for analog cables were 3 conductor mini jacks.  
Jon sourced a cable from the computer wonk, and we're utilizing the ad/da converter in the mixer.

I have been accused of being "one conductor short" at times.

It sounded great way down south. Thanks for all of the effort to put this together.

I think we're on the air this morning already.  Return runs are about to start.  I'm gonna talk for a while but'll be back sooner or later.  Let me know if it's working, please.

Has Poteet made a run yet with the "C" motor?
