Gentlemen Start Your Engines

Saturday is the first day of racing, after the driver's meeting.
We put the car in line for a pass.

Carolyn, Pat, Dennis, Me... Carolyn and her beau, Don and 4 of their friends, flew to Wendover in Don's airplane. They landed at 10 am. Carl and I picked them up in our cars and dropped them at the starting line. Then I headed to the 5 mile marker to watch and video Dennis making a run.

The first attempt was a turn out. The second run was 264 mph. Dawna helps Dennis remove his helmet after the run.

It was a good run, sort of a shake down of sorts, as the motor was completely rebuilt.

One of the nicest looking cars on the salt, I'm not prejudiced.

We ended the day at 6:30, and fully beat!

Tomorrow we will run the car first thing. Having fun!
