Things started right on time but no wind and a dusty track is holding it up.
Rick Yacoucci in the normally aspirated flathead was first off the line. He did 183.1 or was it 185 mph. Either way it was a BIG record against the existing 168 according to the announcer. Looks good wih a new paint job and graphics too.
Salty Dog Racing, Was next. It sounded great but he missed the record. did 217 against the 229 mph record.
The tiny #6060, a Costella liner, was having trouble starting. Then once she got on the course, it went outside the cones at the quarter I was told. It must be difficult seeing from that low on the track and the dust is hanging. They have stopped for several minutes and it is still pure dust looking down the track.
