The Mormon Missile is going to be next up. They're still in the pits, but about ready to leave to tow to the 12 mile preparatory to making a run. It's all smiles in the pit over there.
Mike's jet bike just did a test-fire in the pits. No word on when they'll run today.
The Speed Demon's V-8 head got fixed last night in SLC. They're putting the motor back together and will make a run with it. One piston is a little weak so they'll run rich to keep it cool (alcohol does that, I hear)(Alcohol fuel, that is!). Expect an interesting run from a car with the equivalent of a 7 1/2 cylinder engine.
The Canadian saltmobile team has left the Salt -- evidently done with their efforts.
The Bub bike ran that 313 run with some issues -- the engine didn't sound all that good. Delvene came over to report the good news -- no fire!. They'll download data and see what's what. Maybe the turbo isn't quite right, maybe the little bit of smoke was from the wrapping on the headers being brand new, and so on. Chris had a good run -- the wind was pretty much dead except for a bit of a cross in the measured stretch, but nothing too scary. No word on how soon they'll be ready to try again.
The Missile has been pushed out of the pits and is on the way down the course.
Buckeye Bullet is still in the pit and the crew is working on the car with no great amount of tension -- so I guess they're not about to run.
Enough for now.
Oh, the 757 car. Yes, the chute system worked fie, Steve says. And he used the fogger system -- will use his bigger nitrous setup on his next run.
