It's about noon tomorrow right now - I'm thinking they're either given' it hell, licking their wounds, pounding a beer or putting it on the trailer. 

Or maybe getting their hats sized . . .  :roll:

Don't worry.  I am sure we will know how they did when they get cell coverage.

There is an old piano on the salt flats just to the west of where we run.  Emigrants crossed the lake there and someone's wagon got too heavy and they tossed it out, I guess.  I wasn't there.  That reminds us that not very long ago, when folks would leave to go the the west coast, word of their arrival came back by ship.  Maybe over a year after they left any one back home would hear from them.  Gairdner is one of the few places like that now.

I tried to capture the run,,but the track was too far away to see SoS at all when the video was replayed
I'll post more pics when I get organized.
Brett Desloop did 241(ish?) in the 1st sector(today), but went down in the 5 mile, he is battered and bruised, but ok
Tiny (in OZ)
I would prefer to make horsepower, rather than buy, or hya it, regardless of the difficulties involved , as it would then be MINE

So, James, a new record???
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

So, did you set a record? Everyone in the video is kinda acting like it but all I could make of the words was "congratulations". The rest was pure jibberish.  :roll: James (and the rest of you), you have friends on the other side of the Earth whom have been on the edge of their seats waiting for information. Cough it up, Sport.  :cheers: Wayno

Rock and Roll!!

Well done lads!

Also Brett deStoop, 241 wow, this is on a water bottle motor, he built his own foundry and dyno for in his backyard, and built it from scratch.

Not many people big enough to survive a fall at that speed but his is one of them.

Well done Brett, get well soon mate,

Looking forward to what I'm sure will be the grand details of this long overdue adventure.

Well played, gentlemen!
