I was there on the 13th and 14th Sat-Sun only, pretty much hung around the far end of the track.

Not sure, but there was a 426 mph pass in a streamliner and the Blowfish Barracuda got up into the 314 ish mph. Traction seemed to be a problem even down at the 5 mile mark but I am pretty sure there were some records set based upon the cars in impound.

Speedweek just ended and I had Saltfats with me for a pitbike. Looks right at home on the salt!! (So far no rust either)

Re: Did anyone do a Cornflower Blue (or similar) and white build Might want to check out Bluey McBoring in the finished Anything goes buildoff thread. The blue-white color combo is one of the best I have seen and the build is super clean.
