In other news, most of the return run vehicles have been successful this morning.  There are only a few left here in the line -- the UVU car, Andy Sills on the BMW S1000, Dean Sabatinelli hasn't run, Bob Ragsdale and the 745 Blast from the Past Stude,  and Sam Dakin on the 6062 A PS PBF 1350 bike.  He ran 102 on a 100 1/2 record yesterday.

Sarno's car left lots of parts and glass on the track -- we'll be down for more than just a few minutes.

any landing you can walk away from is a good landing

I've got a few minutes -- here are some Saturday morning in impound photos.

Here's Andy and Erin - as we were taping him up:







Ron Christensen's hangout -- Radio 1610 AM broadcaster:





This is the Dave Sarno car that just turned upside down.  The driver is out and fine -- although now the crew has gone missing. . .



The Ragsdale car -- that hurt the headers yesterday, got 'em fixed last night, and here they are in line for the return run:



Greg
Waters and Fireman Jim working on Greg's bike:



Eva's electric bike:





That's all for now.  More later.  I'll get all of the speeds once I'm back at the desk in impound.

Here are some sunrise from imnpound photos.  I've got more -- and will send the full files to you if you want one for your collection.  By the way -- I'm sorry that Mrak's bike was way in front of us in the line this morning -- and I didn't get any shots.  I'll find them in impound later.

Is the Lectrik liner making a return pass, if so what was the qualifier?  

Slim, thanks for the updates and pictures ! ! ! !

[Seldom Seen Slim]

No, the 'lectric bike is in the short course line -- not return runs.  I'll go ask how fast she's gone.

[John Noonan]

Jon,


Thanks.

The bearing is in, and we just did a test start of the motors and checked the trans and shifting, all systems go. We're changing the oil and prepping Max's liner to head for the start line.

A couple of quotes

Max: "It sure runs good when it's not on fire"

Stainless: "It's easy to find the end of the safety wire, it's where the blood from your finger is"

comet...regarding Max Liner....

"..it should go faster if they get it to shift into high gear.."..


sss...thanks much for sharing the action from the morning at the line...and the
wonderful sunrise shots...!!!!!!
