I'll start it off...

Scott called me this morning and said his first pass was 183.442mph

Glen · September 13, 2009, 11:50:27 AM

Winds up to 18 mph from the SW per weather channel.

Glen · September 13, 2009, 12:43:54 PM

Update at 12:30, winds now 11 mph gusting to 22 mph.

Scott's second run was 182.966mph with a lot of wheelspin and he declined to make another run due to increasing winds. He is on his way home now.

Glen · September 13, 2009, 03:32:39 PM

At 3:30 wind at 28 mph

Glen · September 13, 2009, 05:02:20 PM

They got in 3 rounds today, Mike Cook top speed I think @ 214 mph, Rice & Vigent set a record at 195 in the H/lakester. Thats all I have heard so far.

Went up yesterday to do Starting line Set-up. At noon there were only about a dozen cars in Tech. Leaving at about 2:30 it was about the same. I figured if the winds held up that people could make multiple runs. Wish I had the Roadster there!

Leaving the Lakebed was really dicey. A lot of dust was blowing. Kept looking for oncoming headlights!

From Phelan you could not see the Lakebed. Glad they got in multiple runs.

It must of been that fender..........Noonan ran the side car and I believe as I was pulling out he was headed to impound, not sure of the speed.

I think this internet thing might work out. Really fast results. Kudos to those responsible.
