Event Coverage Bonneville Speed Week 2018

Thanks Mick...So all of those sets of numbers was any actually measuring speed or is that only judged by an outside source. Man that's fast...

 

Looked like on one shift when the light came on he was over 7000 rpm.

 

Having killed the E and A motors Speed Demon got it right with the B engine. 464 I think exit speed. New top speed of the week I know. Qualified at 452 I think

 

The initial combined worth of the blown motors has got to be a crazy number.

 

^Very appropriate^

 

Get thee to the Car Wash!

 

Flashpoint went 340 or so. Broke the blower belt on the shift. Car was running good. Bob was pedaling it all the way. Jack Costella is one happy guy. Said Rick was at low boost on gas. May up the boost or go to nitro for his next run. Jack didn't want to interfere with Rick's thoughts. Rick is doing OK as it is

 

Shutter Speed- not mine, I couldn't pass up the photo op

(I agree)

 

Carboliner ran 413 in the mile 420 out the end. Really picking it up on the big end. Flashpoint needs a 400 at least. Oops. Looks like the MSD is giving them trouble.

 

Turbinator- 463 in the mile 470 exit speed. All you guys who said the salt was gone. What you got to say now?

 

At long last we have qualified to make a record attempt in the morning. Current record is 218 and change and we just went to 227 going to make sure everything looks good tonight and go out there with the barrels blazing in the morning.

 

anxiously awaiting tomorrow's numbers

 

excellent news!

 

Congratulations on the qualifier runs!!!!
Don't be shy, us poor souls would love to see some pictures of these cars.

 

I missed this year and now regret it.lots of folks over 400

 

4 cars over 400.... That's called fricking awesome anyway you slice it.

 

I know how unfriendly this is but it does go pretty fast. I think I have a tuneup in it for a 230 MPH record tomorrow.

 

Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooom......jets without wings...the sound is incredible too.

 

I, for one, say that is great news, and news I was wondering if I would ever hear.

 

And, Mr. Sparks, what is the riding position in your streamliner? It's sit in, not on, right?

 

it is great news on the salt! like dean, it was making a lot of people wonder what the future would be. hopefully good things will continue.

 

Legget's stock bodied 53 Stude goes 326 on record return. May have blown motor in the 4 to 5. Speed Demon unable to back up yesterdays record run.

 

Turbinator ran 447 in last mile for a 455 record average. 454 exit speed

 

We just backed it up with a 232 1/2

 

Well done. Congratulations.

 

I'm really glad I got down there- even for 1-1/2 days. Saw both Danny's run and speed demon's. Lordy what a sound!

 

it's a lay down type of affect

 

WOW! so amazing.

 

The data shows me that maximum speed was 242.5. That's hallin the fucking mail when you're laying on that thing.
