Audio is superb this am...

Bonneville Bobber  Bike 3350 151.571 at the quarter, turning out before the 3 mile marker.  That's not good.  84.517 mph.

Jeff Brock is next in the 1503 Bonneville Bombshell running on a 141 record.  We got a couple of his t-shirts yesterday -- nice shirts, happy to wear them around home -- nobody will have a clue -- at least 'til we tell them.

137.585 in the quarter, 139.845 in the mile.  Don't know if it's enough. . .don't remember what he ran yesterday.

Sorry about the sound part, I was hearing a first day recording. THE AGE THING.   Got it loud and clear

 Thanks Jon for the update.

77 A/FL next with Channing Hammond at the wheel, qualified yesterday with a 318 run.  It was a licensing pass at that.  This will be cool to see going by.  By the way, Glen says, Channing is the guy that designed the body on the coolest-looking car around.

Sounds strong at the one mile, 2 1/4 mile 276 mph, first mile 287, 305.707 middle mile, 314.785 last, 326.718 exit.  Whiooo-hooo!  That'll do for sure.

Car 534 is next on the line for record return runs.  By the way, today is the last day of the event, and we'll run qualifiers starting when the record runs are done.  Will quit qualifying runs by around noon or so, then run the qualified vehicles for return runs, then be done -- maybe by 2 or something.  We'll find out later for sure.

534 quarter mile 209.306,  first mile 211.312,  middle mile 211.631,  last mile 212.011-- go to impound.

Here's the 911 roadster leaving the line.

AA/FMR is next - #857.  It's the last record return run for the day, so once it's past us we'll mosey back to the pits.  It's been a great morning so far -- lotsa of records got upped.

251.479 quarter speed, 259.141 mile, spin!

Amazing. Congrats to john beck with his 911 A/BFR 304mph!!! First roadster in the 3's

Something in the roadster's front end broke and it spun so things are held up while they get the car out of the way.

But here are some shots of the record return launches:

Pat Womack fried the clutch on his return run yesterday. He has it repaired and will make another record attempt today. Good luck Pat, 235+!

Conrats!! That is awesome.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

The Mormon Missile is running -- 315.620 middle mile, 332.336 last mile, 333.618 exit speed -- qualifies.  One Duramax diesel engine, just like in our pickup -- but he's faster.  Something about 120# boost, hunhj?

[Freud]

I knew it was bound to happen, but 3 big ones with a roadster is OUTSTANDING.

Sure sorry I wasn't there.

Here are a bunch of photos we took yesterday.  I'll post them just for general interest - nothing particularly awesome that you need to see, but still of interest to some.

[RayTheRat]

A coupla shots of the Missile.  I can't begin to describe how happy I am for Lynn...and he's faster than Andy Green's AA/DS record of 317 with AA motors.
