BMST 2024 ?

[TrickyDicky]

Bub 7 - Rivas - run the afternoon two days ago and fall over at 1/2 mile, except some lost of red paint nothing happens, if there was any damage on the pride is unknown.

So I got the  bit right!

Anybody know if the Bub 7 ran?

I hear their first run was 386.685 mph.   

Sooo, where did you hear this TD?  Wish I could be there.

I was a starter at the mountain and international track all week long. BUB 7 only ran once then had a problem at the 2 mile. The team tried to run again today, but since the prestage closed at 11 am, it was turned away. No successful runs.

Thanks Don. Were the conditions OK? Too windy, soft salt?

[donpearsall]

Most of the time the conditions were perfect! Hard salt, several days with little wind. When I got home, the truck had very little salt on it meaning it was not too wet. The first day of racing, a thunderstorm came through in the afternoon and racing stopped for the rest of the day. Then on Wednesday there was a wind hold for a brief period. Everyone who could run got lots of hot laps in. But very few bikes in the 200 mph+ range for some reason. Some racers said the course was bumpy. That could be the reason.

I wish to express a big "Thank you" to all who worked so hard to make this event happen.

It takes a lot of effort.  I'm guessing that much (if not most) of it is by unpaid volunteers.

I also want to thank the racers and their teams.  Without them, we wouldn't have events like this. 

To all:  "Stay safe.  Go fast."

The rain got the big end of the course so coming back on return runs it was apparently pretty mushy.

Does anybody know if there is a list of pending records that were set this year?  Curious if my 250 M-CF record still stands... kind of hope it doesn't since it was one of those embarrassingly slow records 

Sad I missed the event this year but hope to be back in 2025.
