So sad.  Was hard to watch the crash. My heart goes out to his family.

At the 2 Club business meeting President Mike La Fevers asked for a minute of silence In memory of Chris before the meeting started.   All member removed our hats and bowed our heads.

Mother Nature and the laws of physics can deal hard Hands for LSR racers at times!

  Lord please be with his family and friends as they go forward in dealing with their great personal loss!

Rest in Peace Chris knowing you were doing wast you dearly loved when your time came!!  God Speed Chris !!!!

PP, have you heard about the salt conditions from SS? I saw they ran on Course 2 today, close to record at 230.

Sabat, last I heard from Stainless was from the first day...as lots of people are asking where I'm...well...back in Germany....

Course condition...I can see it on course 1...a pain....

yeap, the announcer from the livestream said that they came close to the 2011 record....

ps...2nd run 228...      very strange....I can't find that run on long course list....

from looking at the livestream,
the course does look worse compared to the first couple of days.
The cars are definitely kicking up a bigger cloud when heading down track.

So just heard at the end of todays live stream that he will not be streaming the rest of the week, ie the last 3 days.

I hope SCTA did not pay for any of these as he and other have said.   Bring back the livestream of the audio.   It was so much better because you heard about the other courses.

Dodge Brother

Watched the live stream off and on today, looked like the staging lanes were empty a fair bit and the cars were really kicking up a lot of salt. Does anyone know what shape the courses are in?

Most rules are written in blood and...... Rule changes are bought by a big fat check. 😉

has any one heard of a second car that went for a destructive ride--I say one today on a trailer between Ely and Alamo

yesterday, late evening, Danny Thomspon and the Ferguson Team had a small issue on the starting line...

it looks, they had a mishap, as...maybe due to the tough salt surface...the pushtruck kicked him in the last moment off course...

the 1st screenshot shows the the pushtruck...Danny upfront...and to this moment the duo starts to go outside the markers...

the 2nd screenshot shows the turn to left of the pushtruck...the markers are the right side of the course...it shows how far right the pushtruck was...

when Danny pressed the throttle, he was in the wrong direction....

this can happens as it is tough to see where you go with a so racer during the push...when you start so far right...they used the 300+ mph line...

that run was not no 75...they run no 76...changed to A/FS....

Just a shout out for some great runs in your Firebird. If you remember I have the white 79 Firebird that pitted next to  you last September. Won't make September this year but hope to make it back next year.
No trailer ran 135mph at the World of Speed 2011 see you in 2012 in Ohio and back at Bonneville at the world of speed going for the 150club 1979 Firebird T/A White . Ck out YOU TUBE. KERRY AT BONNEVILLE. Didn't  make 2012,2013,2014. ECTA in Ohio 2012 trans went out and 2013 fuel problems . Still trans and fuel problems. Finally all looks good. Ready to drive (no trailer) 1500 miles to Bonneville and It's cancelled. NEXT YEAR. SEPT. ECTA RAN 144 MPH. GETTING BETTER. 2021 Ran 152 fulfilled a ten year dream to make the 150 club. 2024 ran 163 on GPS backed off going thru timing lights.

Strange....Dave Kommel framed the Bockscar on Wednesday on the track...but the SCTA Timing didn't show any run of this lakester at all....?????

...and Danny could stay on the right side of the markers...400 qualifier - A/FS - a Nearburg record....Top Speed, so far :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
