Anyone get video of car 44s runs.  I would like to see (and hear)  that.  I know there is one from El Mirage on youtube, but I'd like to see another.
Thanks

Great coverage today from Jon and Ray, you guys are the best, also a shout out to Tom G., thanks for posting the SCTA link with runs and records. Bob from Washington #1472b, congratulations on the 110 mph run, that gives us thumpers some hope on the 115 record held by a twin, great job.

Kepner, add Treit and Davenport. FREUD

Seriously? I don't ever remember them going over 320 in the quarter. That sure doesn't mean it didn't happen, though. I remember less every day.

Anybody remember when we started clocking "entry speeds"? I'm stuck on 1988 but...see above.

Tom's right, though. Unless my memory has completely failed, the Spirit of Rett is now the fastest unblown single-engined wheel-driven machine ever.

Nancy, you sit with your head high and back, just like me.  I had to get rid of this habit and it was really hard.  I took my windshield off.  Then, my head had to be forward and low to keep it out of the wind.  I rode enough to get used to this position, then I put the shield back on.  This helped me tuck lower with confidence.

Three left-overs from yesterday.

First, "Empress Tanis" (her phrase, not mine..since she claims to be empress while cooking) in front of the obscenely fast lakester.

Second, the most beautiful sky/cloud formation over the 766 "Cavalier."

Finally the same cloud formation with the sun trying to peek thru.

Time for breakfast.

[Pat Kinne / Salt201]

Seldom or Ray or - If any of you lucky guys run into Kenny Hoover prior to his return run this morning please tell him the Kinne Brothers and the whole 777 crew are pulling for him in a big way - Go Kenny GO!!! Pat

[Freud]

Kepner, I WAS WRONG. 312 was TREIT & Davenports best.

I'm unworthy. Banish me from the KLUB.

But, You should still be concerned about your memory.
