Speed Week 2002 - August 13

Tuesday, 13 August

Tuesday Morning, bright and early at the fuel truck. We must have been more alert that day, because we clued in and ditched the blanket we'd been using to keep the salt out of the intake, in favour of one of our old T shirts.

Ted tops up the tank on "North of 49". Today's first run will be to collect a B license for Ted.

Roomy? An approximation of what the driver sees in the car, the camera is too far forward to provide a real view, but it's close.

Almost at the line. Staging wasn't near as long on Tuesday.

The best "Car & Driver" picture we got, Ted after his B license run.

Ted Allan driving for class "B" License
2-1/4 mile trap 179.981 mph
3 mile trap, 182.666 mph

It's windier today, but you can hear Ted going through the traps and shutting down

The roadster is collecting a lot of salt, most of it off of the tires of the tow car. Back in the pit, we've found a hinge and will be installing the driver side cowling.
