Were you guys planning to run the full 5 miles or running for averages?

McRats & Casper run a 193mph @ bonnvelle

The goal was to run a 200 mph in averages.
I'm just happy that Pat is OK even if the truck got bruised up. On Sunday after we ran, one of the racers (Barry Bryant) lost his life when his car broke up

I was hoping we would done with it. As I am a worry wart Let me tell you the motorhome can go pretty quick on the salt when I want it too. I beat Johnny across course to get to Pat ):h Gotta love the D-max power.
But, everyone has worked so hard to try to make this happen not just us.
The problem with El Mirage is it is only 1.3 miles long, so I hope he has enough real estate to get up to speed. But, the good thing is, it is not an average. it's the actually trap speed. So it's kinda like a 1.3 mile drag race. If you notice in the video's he takes off really easy in hopes of saving the 9 inch rear. He might have to take off like a drag race
