Where does SCTA-BNI post actual record run speeds?

Tricky... The SCTA does not keep those old records. They are in private collections which took years to gather.

The Record Return Run for car number 500 (Arnold - Hoddinott - Leggitt - Salkins) 1953 Studebaker in C/CBFA was not shown in the SCTA-BNI Daily Run - Long Course listing for Aug 14.

I was able to get the following times from the Ron & Jon show archives:

1/4     251.007
Mile 1 291.154
Mile 2 305.023
Mile 3 326.969 Wow !!!!!! (Stock Body 53 Stude)

That is an amazingly fast speed - too bad it didn't count!   Their qualifier (on Aug 13) was in Mile 2 at 282.694, so they had to use the 305.023 speed from Mile 2 on the record run for a 293.694 average.  At least they know it's got a blue hat in it someplace!

Proof of the old adage that there's nothing like cubic horsepower.  That and enough weight/traction to get it to the ground.

Grand run to hear, for sure.  Congratulations on getting the car to the salt so it can stretch its legs.
