So ya'll have got to be wondering where Chris got off to...I mean for a guy that posts almost 8 posts a day...hes definitely missing in action...
Well...Chris and his buddies, Fergie and Randy Ferguson went off to Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in attempts to break the land speed record in a few classes...They left on Thursday night and will be back sometime after the weekend of the Aug 23rd.
I dont have any current pictures, but here are a few from past races...
See Chris working on the engine?
See his name under the numbering on the tail?
They already broke one record, doing an amazing average of 265mph on the first run, and maxing out at 285mph on the second...they average the runs together and the record was set at 266.302, beating the old record of 246.052! AWESOME!
Theyve regeared and are going to try to break 300 mph tomorrow...cross your fingers!!
This is better then the disappointment they had on Saturday...where they blew an engine on the first race of the day
They were clocked at 212 on the first quartermile and it was downhill from there...or would that be uphill???
Ill keep you all posted...wish him and Ferguson Racing GOOD LUCK!

We broke 2 records with a final speed of 284mph and change. we were really shooting for 300, but we sunk some valves in the head on the last run and decided not to chance blowing up the motor. We set it back up on Alcohol and started doing licensing passes. In order to get your licenses, you have to move up in speed slowly . . . 125-150 mph, 150-175mph, 175-200mph, 200-250mph, 250-300mph, and 300+ is unlimited. The fastest I ran was 195 and change and we pushed it back to the line to try and get one more run so I can say I went 200 MPH. I was next to run . . . I was strapped in and ready to go, and a friggin huricane rolled in with 40mph winds and rain. So, I didnt get to go 200 mph, but I sure got close
