Just visiting the salt this year. Conditions are not ideal at this point. Will be keeping an eye on things and we’ll be back next year.

That’s all she wrote, folks! Analyzing data between runs and applying knowledge gained over the last 7 years of doing this, we have decided to go home with a truck that still breathes. Comparing exhaust gas temperature between runs (and having a large quantity of data to look back on) gives us insight to engine health. On the last run this morning, we noticed cylinder 4 lost over 100*F compared to the rest of the cylinders. We have seen this before and feel it is a sure sign of impending doom. We would rather save all the engine parts than push the boundary for licensing runs. ALL THAT BEING SAID, we have had an amazing week with two more people getting the opportunity to drive the truck and work their way up through the licensing process. The salt has been awesome and the folks at the SCTA have put on another great event. Can only hope the salt stays this good for the next time we come down!

Made some BIG changes to the final drive so we are tossing the intern in to make sure it works. Jackson has worked super hard over the summer for college credit in the Mechanical Engineering program .

Pushing up to the start line. This is what every driver stares into before putting the pedal down. Doing a little and playing with final drive gears today. The salt is so good this year!

Rookie run requires a “clean run” (no issues, pulling parachute, exiting correctly, basically demonstrating you know how everything works and you do it all correctly) with a speed between 125mph and 150mph. Patrick got as close as comfort allowed (if you go over, you get reprimanded).



































Almost there!

Getting setup for tomorrow on the rookie course. Patrick is finally getting in the driver seat after 7 years of working on the truck. Wish him luck!

After some engine inspection, we’ve decided to swap engines. If all goes well, we’ll be getting some licensing runs done in the morning!
