Mormon Missile has offricially called it a year. The damages are more than they want to fix so late in this event (today's the last day) so they'll go home and fix things and come back again next year. Best wishes and congratulations from Nancy and me to the entire team.
About the Buckeye Bullet -- they DO have large ice-making capacity out here. A large reefer-type semi trailer and a free-standing ice making machine, too. They simply exhausted the capacity of the on-site equipment, finally, and had to resort to a stand-by source. Jim, you should have been here in person to see how they worked to avoid the problems you've just mentioned. They're pretty well organized now.
The Bullet is done with the refit in the pits, body panels are being put on, and they've asked us to clear the course and the pits for their return run.
Jet bike is ready to run -- waiting for the Bullet to finish leaving the pit so they can go make their next run.
