Speed Demon crew is working feverishly to fix the burned piston and burned wiring. Not even thinking about changing engines. I knew immediately what was going on when they put out a call for a brush hone. They are putting it together now. Run tomorrow morning

Eddy Umland hurt the front QC in his liner. Taking it apart now to see if repairable. Eight cars in line WTF.

I?d like to mirror the other comments. Slim you are doing a great job!
You asked earlier if the track mic was better, it?s a little better but you could turn it up a bit, can only really hear the loud things.

Has the vesco streamliner put in any runs yet.
The speed that you wish to achieve is only limited by the depth of your wallet.

Slim your volume/sound is great. Using my I-Phone in my truck I can blow myself out. Using the Blue tooth speakers i have in my garage in a light fixture has only the volume in the phone which I turn up as high as I can.

Thanks for all You and every one else does....JD

Off the SCTA site link on the home page this site - Alp made a 99.311 run on the short course yesterday, guessing maybe just a checkout/shakedown run.  No info yet on Alp today, life stuff has had me away from the live stream (link on the top right of the homepage here) most of the morning.

That is great RidgeRunner, thank you. I am now tuned in and listening.
Cheers.
