"And then there is the underdog. Bobby Dalton, Jackson, Meyer, G-Man, Joe, Jr. and the rest of the team are still laughing and smiling and having a good time working on the Flashpoint streamliner and have been as fast as 382 mph but have not been able to put their power to the ground. The car has been flawless mechanically and the team continues to thrash and claw at the salt with the goal of breaking Al Teague’s 20+ year old 409 mph record, and possibly taking top speed of the meet and the Hot Rod Trophy from Speed Demon. The salt conditions are going to make this a very difficult task, but the boys from San Martin, California are not stopping until they have to. These guys are having so much fun that they have become the talk of the pits and even George Poteet went over to hang out and check out their operation.
Both the Speed Demon and Flashpoint are expected to be making runs early Thursday, so we’ll keep you posted as we get more information.
