And it's a big anti-climax -- because Skip pulled the chute about the 1 1/2.  That's it -- World of Speed 2010 is over.  Thanks for reading along.  I'll no doubt get some more of this-n-that during the next few hours and days, but for now -- I'm done.  C U Later.

[Freud]

Did the chute come out?

Many times it hasn't.

FREUD

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Yes -- I knew the run was over 'cause I saw the chute flying in the breeze behind the car.  The fun is done for now.

Well, most of it -- the S1000 BMW is being scotch taped and baling wired together so it can be ridden home.  It turns out that BMW does not print a shop manual -- only on-line.  That might be fine in a nice shop, but Debbie's been working with the laptop out in the sun (well, under our easy-up) to try to give the guys the requested information.  But it's back together now.

Almost.

[Freud]

Debbie....let them buy dinner for you.

Thank Slim and Nancy and Ray the rat for the updates, looks like I will sit here for at least one more week, but will see you two at World finals.

What happen to Vesco, last we heard he was in impound, did they make a return run??

[slepe67]

...Dave Sarno on a return run between 4 and 5 mile flipped the car
after 228 in middle mile 10 over record....

he was able to get out of car before crews arrived...

for sale sign remains intact...

I was at the starting line, filming him "take off".  I turned away for a  second, and saw a bunch of white dust and thought that looked a bit odd.  This being my first time to the flats, and that was the first car I had ever seen run, assumed it was dust from high speed ops.
Then, I heard what happened.  Never did see the carnage, but, really didn't come to the flats to watch crashes.  Hope he's OK.
