Sun. & Mon., August 15 & 16
For those of you who have been to Speedweek, you know that to “break a record” requires the car to run the next morning. The average of the two runs must exceed the existing record. Well, we did it. Due to driver nerves or something, I ran slower (shouldn’t have given the conditions) but did run fast enough to break the record! Celebrations ensued.
The pit guys changed the configuration of the car to enter us into the XO/GC class and we returned to the start line for Marilyn’s runs. She drove hard & you will have to ask her about the reliability of gear shift knobs when you see her. Her top speed was 163 mph, what a trooper.
Monday afternoon we put Leadfoot, Kenny in the drivers’ seat where he promptly recorded a 169+ speed exceeding the XO/GC record qualifying to make a back up run on Tuesday morning! WhooHoo!
