RE: [DeTomaso] Record attempts on Bonneville

Jack,

If you check the results pages you will find them listed as follows (from
Tuesday results).

497 AA    GMS    Carapi Holgersson 191.453 199.293   
497 AA    GMS    Carapi Holgersson 196.341 202.318   

Obviusly they are working their way up slowly from Sat runs in the 150 mph
range to now approaching and exceeding 200 mph.

Tomas

Al Bloomberg (the Pantera Kid) ran Bonneville once before with a completely 
stock Pantera and a highly reworked Boss 302 engine. He verified once again 
that one CANNOT run an unraked, no-front-spoiler Pantera at high speeds with
any 
degree of control. The car nearly spun at 135 mph in qualifying, scaring Al 
thoroughly, and totally spun with Al's brother driving (the Avanti Kid), at
172 
mph, cracking an oil line & causing a small fire. 

Since the SCTA-BNI website seems to have a serious glitch (maybe the current

internet worm in its server?) that prevents pages from ever completely
loading 
unless you 'trap' them. I didn't see Carapi or 'Sweden' as a home country 
listed in pre-registration                      on Saturday; what is their
team 
name? Cheers- J DeRyke
