Ran 202 on a 205.....felt a vibe...shut off....tire missing tread.

Grinding rubber off new tires when they get here tuesday.

Salt is really good and lines are decent.

From the SCTA website....
08/09/09: 

       Officials of the Bonneville Nationals Inc. report that Barry Bryant, 46, from Anderson, California, died after competing at the speed trials on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

      The accident occurred at 5:55 p.m. when his racing vehicle went out of control while traveling approximately 200 mph.

       He was transported by ambulance off the race track to Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City.

       Race Officials were informed that Bryant died before arriving at the Medical Center.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends...God Speed Sir

I had the pleasure of talking to Barry in the staging lanes and as always he had a smile and  the time to talk.  You will be sorely missed my friend.  :cry:  My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.  God Speed  Tony
