Very nice time 06 MR, 9.29 @153 on the first pass of the day, that is quite impressive!!!

BTW: Does anyone know if AMS made any exhibition passes or something, they said they were not going to race the car because of the rules of the event, but from one of the pictures it looks like Mr. Jones had the racing suit on, and they were working on the car. Can anyone chime in on this???

Eric did a few passs and he was OUT !

On pass left two streaks of rubber right down the track - I was behind it watching it - wild driving - the other was also all over the track with the car picthing back and forth - he is a very brave driver - no record times today bit it was certainly fun to watch

they made about 5 passes. i over heard something about the clutch pedal adjustment being a problem as to why they misshifted every run. they still managed low 10's with 150+mph traps on a extremely hot muggy day while misshifting.

his car broke after a miss shift into a wrong gear. but im looking at it like this

the 1st pass he said he went from 2nd gear going for 3rd but hit 1st. said his tach went into no go teritory but BUT his b/r block still have 3 more passes in it befor it let loose. i would say that was a well built block for 900+hp on a shot block running 3 mor passes. if he had not miss shifted it would still be running no dout.

Too bad to hear about Al's motor letting go, but being able to survive a mis shift like that trying to get in 3rd and slamming 1st, that has to be one hell of a motor to survive that. Kinda like what happened to Shep at the end of last year, and the motor still survived a few more passes before it finally gave up. But we all know Al will be back up and running in no time with another bulletproof Buschur motor!!!
