Salt Cat update. Yes, they broke the record....and a piston. They got the XXO/BGALT record at 169.212. The first foto otta make that clear.

My opinion, but I think the SC team deserve a great amount of respect for not giving up and gettin the record, even if the piston grenaded. They'll be back ready to go even faster next year.
