New Record!
Getting on the salt flats before dawn, we were all scurrying around to get the car started and into the record proving run! Loretta and Jane were sent to the pit area with the responsibility of filming the record pass. The video is very amatuerish, but it certainly sounds good! Ask us and we will show you! :) Don drove the car 235+ mph, with the average for the new record being 226+ mph. This is 10 mph over the existing record. Yahoo!!! That 77 year old can really fly!
We returned to the pits to alter the car's configuration to enable us to enter another class. The afternoon was spent in line for another run by our other driver, Ken Grimes. Unfortunately, the winds picked up, and there appeared to be storms all around the salt flats, luckily - no rain on the flats! We were not able to run, but we are first in line for running tomorrow!
