I see in the results that on the landracing.com site. On their record run on Aug 12th, the car went through mile two at 134+, but mile three speed was 86. Any one know what happened?

The Salt2Salt crew covered the headlights on the car and ran it XO Fuel Altered and set a record at 129 MPH!!! Bob Waitz left a message on my answering machine so I dont know any more details.They have loaded up the car and are heading back home.I expect a phone call this evening with more details.

Yes I do! Got back a few hours ago. We'll write it all up on Salt2Salt.com very soon with lots of pics. We did nine runs with our little turbocharged flathead, and went as fast as
137mph on our GPS device. We raised our XO/BGC record to 127 mph and set a new XO/FALT record at 129 mph. We now all have at least two high speed runs on the salt in the car. Stay tuned!
