SpeedWeek 2018: The developing story

[trimmers]

Shootout a few years ago  - Nearburg, Nish, Speed Demon, Spectre.  Rocky went 394 in the Ack bike

Slim:  I guess you're right, but they all had an extra mile run-up!

1st time in many years NOT there!  My sincerest THANK YOU for all your streaming efforts!

How do I turn up the volume at my end? I have the volume bar WFO on the app.

We're done for the day.  Course 1 closed at 5 to move the equipment over a lane, and about the same time thej wind came up strong as a cross wind put things on hold - now we've given it up and shut it down for the day.

We'll be back tomorrow at 7 for return runs.  We could see some more astounding runs in the cool morning air on the brand new course.

C ya!

Darn! Same here. This is the first time since 2003 that I have not been at Speed Week and this year the streamliners are going faster than ever out there. I had to write off Speed Week because of a family wedding that conflicted. I doubt that World of Speed will be as historic.

Crap - sorry.  I shut off the stream when the course was on wind hold and we were pretty sure that nothing more was gonna happen.  I meandered over to the 200 MPH Club membership meeting - and when it was over I heard Ron talking on the radio.  Sure as heck, they were making some runs on courses 3&4.  I'll tell ya more about that in the morning if there are any good stories.

Record eturn runs start at 7, as usual.  There were quite a few in impound when we left -- Mike Kaehny didn't have a count for me.  I sure hope to have the qualifiers list in the morning so we can sty up with the numbers.

Peppermill $13.95 Prime Rib is next.  Later --

4 cars over 400, and it's not even Wednesday.
2018 will go down as the year of EPIC SALT.

Thanks for the streaming guys. Good job. It is turning into an incredible event.

Me neither. So I sent the workforce home really early so I could listen to it in peace for a coupe of hours. I win, and so did all the lads.

Cheers all. I'll be listening in again later on this afternoon ( U.K. time )

In regards to Slims post. Haven't figured out how to do the quote thing.

Top right of a post, click on "Quote".  That gives a "Reply with Quote" function if you like.  Just be sure to type before "[quote" or after "[/quote]".

I can think of eight over 300 mph, but don't have accurate information (more of a car guy).  There are probably a few more.

GO BOYS!...Congratulations to all, especially to 400 + bada boys!...500mph is near!

[Speeditaly]

Interesting?  Ron just sent a couple of pics from impound. The Turbinator team is working feverishly under the lights, prepping for the return run.

The Speed Demon is still covered and there's nobody there.

Good morning Slim! Thank you for your excellent broadcast. Hearing the cars is second only to being on the salt. You guys are awesome! Chuck from GA.
