GO🏁TUMBLEWEED RACERS...

El Mirage dry lake is one of Shinya’s and my favorite places on earth since we came and experienced the very first land speed racing 16 years ago.

エル・ミラージ ドライレイクは、16年前に初めて来て最高速レースを体感した時から変わらず大好きな場所。

It was a great shakedown pass of 120.3/mph. We were all super excited for the second pass but the race was canceled due to high winds 😭 Oh, well. At least we could know that we were in the right direction so all is good.

色々変えたりアップグレードしたばかりなので、抑えめの慣らし1走目はいい感じの192km。やった甲斐があったと嬉しい気持ちで2走目に期待するも、強風でレースはキャンセルに。ま、1本走れただけでも良しとしますか。ボンネビルに期待。

Look forward to the SpeedWeek!!

A shot that goes in the Special department (BPC_035), and we're super lucky that Bill Phy even wrote a caption for it.

“Waxing Mickey Thompson’s “Z” ironed ‘29 roadster before I made the ‘33 coupe into the first S.C.T.A. coupe record car at Bonneville in 1949.”

Take a close look and you’ll see that the early S.C.T.A. members aren’t as squeaky clean as they pretended to be with impromptu street races being a normal thing to do. Also note that Bill is skunking Mr T. on the wrong side of the road. Bill was indeed the first Coupe to go into the record books at Bonneville with a speed of 92.87 mph. His down run was 110.56 mph and his return run was 75.18 mph. He was even First in Class with a speed of 123.62 mph.
