No, Ray -- still running 'em.  Tone missed the record by about a tenth.  DANG! -- that smarts.

Next is mini pickup 489   F/MMP  Reynold Watt.  Qualified yesterday with 158.630.  Today runs 160 and 160.927 in the mile -- going next to impound.

That's it for return runs this morning.  Go potty and refill your coffee cups -- we'll be down for a little while, then start qualifying again.  I'll take a break and work on the bike for Nancy.  Thanks for hanging in there, folks.

John Dobbs on my old bike knocked out a 220.5 to bump the 1350 A/BG record and he is less than 1/10th of a mph from a new bright red hat!   :cheers:

Ray,

GREAT photos! Not as good as being they, but close, with Jon's commentary.

Next on the return run line is Roy Creel and Buck -- 129.548 in the quarter, running on an open record.  131 mph -- go to impound for the #53 car.

Yesterday they ran 122+ on their 96+ record.  You showed a picture of them in impound yesterday??

It's all so confusing  :mrgreen:

Nancy qualified with about .6 on her old record - will turn it down and get back in line.  Her speed was 202.7 (but don't have the slip yet.

Shane San Miguel runs 207 just now.  Nice smooth run for the fella, hey?

Mormon Missile is running soon -- ran over 350 agt the Shootout.  I'll keep you postedm, but will stop for Red Flame  break first.

Nancy's timing slip shows 183 in the quarter, 192.229, middle mile 201.151, last mile 202.789, back door 204.526.  Cool -- still more in the bike!
