Does anyone know when the results for each day will be posted? The USFRA web site has the 2019 results but not 2021.

I noticed in a video of me leaving the starting line that I left black tire marks on the salt which indicates how hard and dry it was this year. The salt surface was smooth too. This was a good year to run.

Since I registered in the 150 Club class, I just short-shifted from 2nd  into 5th gear. No problem pulling up to past 150.

Holy underwear, Robin! I had so much power and so many gears I just skipped over 3rd & 4th.  :-P

Glad you guys enjoyed this.  Working on part 2 where I visit the pits,  Enola Cafe and the starting line.
That night I camped in the desert at Knolls.  It was dead quiet 🤫 and all I could hear was the cars running full throttle in my head.  Vroooooooooom.😎

Had such a great time there I came back for World of Speed and the filming conditions were perfect 👌
. All the smoke was gone and the clouds that day made all the colors of the cars,  mountain backgrounds pop.

I have a new favorite car I only caught a glimpse of at SW.  It's that chop top wagon that looks like "Christine".
Man that this is evil looking.  Had to Google it up.
Awesome story about it being a 200mph streetcar.
They did have to trailer it,   but his goal is to drive there and back .
