Results are now posted on the SCTA website.

Tman, that is one of the best in-car videos I have seen at El Mirage. With a starting position of "56" you could see how the course had gone south after the 1/2 mile.

Thank my pal Tim, and I dont know about the window number, he started much later than 56 with no points and a new truck!

With what seemed like only 60 entries he very well could have been number 56...

D III bumped up the B/Fuel Streamliner record by by 3 mph. They changed the ignition box and went out again and I saw them in impounds....I'm sure they did it again.

I was way bake in line (#170) and ran with a 19 MPH headwind while the guys in the morning fought a lot of dust from no wind......I increased my speed by 10mph (approx 10mph head wind) on the second and final pass but didn't find my way to impound...Looks like I should take something from my B'ville set out for next month.

Not very many made second passes......................Damn I forgot how dirty a black car gets.................................JD

We dont like the wind but we need some wind, we didnt get our first run in until @12;00 due to delays from standing dust. Im no expert but the track was real nice. Now are there any 2-stroke experts out there that can get my POS bike out of the 60's?....................for cheap! :roll:

Lance,

The course was fine for all vehicles that don't have the power to spin the tire(s) down the track...I saw you guys on the return road after my first run I think.. :cheers:

After the first round was complete I was either first or close to it in the second round and it had gone away badly..even that three wheeler I rode at 100+ was skating on the loose stuff..

I don't know how (or why) to refresh my I-Mac.  I have never.  That being said, I turned it off and drove to the store and did an errand, came home, turned it back on and nothing there under El Mirage, Event Results.  Whoever posts this stuff seems to do it almost randomly.  Where is it?
