Awesome.

Congratulations Charlie. I remember you saying there was a record to be had, and you did it.
Couldn't have been to a more deserving person.
Fingers crossed, hopefully you keep it for a while.

Chalk one up for the Y-Blocks, we set the Bonneville record on Sunday with a two run average of 147.239 mph.  We are in the books forever and like all records, it will be broken sooner or later.  Both runs had different problems, but they were still faster than the competition up to that point.  We had to leave after the record run and gave the other two E/BMMP entries something to shoot at for the rest of the week.  They both have a chance, but for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the record is ours.

At the line.

Old and new war horses.  The new one is on it's way to Bonneville today, the old one goes with us next week to Grants Pass, Oregon.

Thanks, Gary.  Yes Chuck, Tim will be there.  We will arrive on Thursday the 11th and will try to tech early.  We will look for you and try to pit close.  Looking forward to seeing you, Keith and all the Rolling Bones crew (Ted too?).

Good luck Charlie, with better luck you should get your licensing level.

Looking forward to seeing you again. I'll be at Bonneville with the Rolling Bones. Maybe we could all pit together? A show of force for the Y's guys. Is Tim coming?


Y's guys rule!

We raced again on July 17th at El Mirage Dry Lakes.  With only one opportunity to run, it was virtually wasted with the #7 spark lead jumping off at just past half track.  Our goal was to earn the next licensing level of 150 to 175.  Any clean run showing competency and following all the rules in the speed range you are looking to license in will earn the license.  I was well above the 150 mark when I felt the engine nose over some and it started to slow as I approached the finish line.  The 140 plus time slip was very disappointing, as now I will have to do this deed again at Bonneville in a couple of weeks.  However, we had a great time with new pit crew member Mark Acosta and veteran Dave Bezinque.  The little Y-Block sounds so strong on eight cylinders, too bad I didn't give it a chance and check the leads.

Just a little something more while waiting for Speed Week 2016.
