The runs are over for the day and the Saturday evening banquet al frescoe is coming up in a few minutes (we eat barbeque from Jerry's BBQ, right across the lawn from the motel, but it sounds better the first way, hey?), so I'll just list a few highlights.
Charlie Anstaett ran 254.136 on his blown 'Busa -- the fastest run at Maxton since Lee Shiert's 260.2 in October of '05. And Dean Sabatinelli rode his naked 1000cc Honda turbo bike to a green 2 Club hat at 200.391 mph - the only 2 Club newbie of this day. I see 34 bike records for today.
In cars, Rabbit Bartels drove his sfaety-green roadstar (B/BGR) to a record of 190.957, the fastest car of the day. The #1010 Crosley convertible, running in J/GT, bumped his class record to 71.820 early this afternoon - and found some more power later on and put another 4+ mph on it later with an impressive 75.993 scamper throught the lights. 38 cars set records today.
The weather was absolutely fine. Temps in the high 70 - low 80 range, no clouds to speak of, gentle winds from left to right, and --- wait, it doesn't get much better than that.
I took a bunch of photos and Deb and Todd Dross told me how to post 'em, but that's going to take a while and I wanted to get this first report out to you folks quickly. I'll see about thoe photos now.
Crud -- it's 7.02 and supper's supposed to start at 7 -- and this crowd will be hungry, so Nancy and Iare going to boogie to the meal now. See you later.
