we were in good shape this morning, arriving at the salt early and we made into line around 11:15 AM.  we ran at 2:30 PM.  sigh.

the car ran well, getting to 177 mph in third gear, but sadly the salt was wet and caused the car to slide sideways, so he shut it down.  better speed than yesterday, but hopefully tomorrow will be better.

it was exciting in other areas of the meet today….i heard that a car spun out and ended up going through the spectator area at 100 mph heading toward the mountains.  thankfully there was a hole in the spectator line and no one was hurt.

the day ended with a wind storm coming in and we dismantled the pit in record time.  if you don’t move quickly your tents can end up in Salt Lake City.
