    Thanks guys, it was a long weekend!

    Well, we ran into some issues, I was speaking too soon when I said we're backing up the run.
    Each morning, after qualification, the car had an electrical issue. It would cut off around 150mph only when cold.
    We think it's the intercooler and moisture causing something to act up, so all electrical bs is being pulled, including all the useless modules, then we'll build a harness and just have an engine and wiring harness, no more dash crap, bcm issues, abs, etc.
    Plus, it'll be a good time to clean up the rest of the wiring and additions that were made.

    So, we couldn't back up the run, but we did run over 250mph twice, just not consecutive runs, so it doesn't go into the books.

    That's ok though, at 250mph, the driver found another issue, suspension! The car likes to get a little light at those speeds, so new shocks and more lead are going to be added.

    Next year, 260mph!!!

    PBS had a program about Salt Flats on just a couple a days ago , in the show they said the Flats was to bumpy for the faster rides (450 + mph) . But did show how course was maintained and laid out (in a "V" pattern , short and long course) , how time was recorded and all (some 15 miles of wire for the sensors , the 2 and 5 mile point are the most critical) , pretty cool you are there and competing .
    Some of the rides needed a 20 to 30 mile an hour push to get rolling .

    DID THEY GET THE RED HAT ?
