Nish and record attempt
« on: September 13, 2007, 10:39:27 AM »
According to this mornings Salt Lake Tribune the Terry Nish streamliner will not attempt to brake the long standing Summers Bros. record due to the fact the salt is not suitable at this time. They need more distance and a drier surface. They have two other dates in October if the salt improves.

Good luck to them in Oct..  It would be nice to see at least one really big number this year.  Do they plan on WF or private time??

Does this mean you are going to revise your "top speed" prediction at WOS???  :evil:  :wink:,

Glen should probably stand fast.
The 400+ stuff was all done in 10+ miles they knew they never had.
They and he don't promise what they know they can't deliver. :wink:
