APSF 1350 land speed record, he broke it several times but in the wrong section of the coarse.
He was the only rider all week long to go from Rooky to A licence (allowed to run on the long coarse at upto 250mph)

rhos, It's altered/partial streamlined/fuel.

Juha, the record he was chasing was 205mph, he had to run just a fraction under 207mph.
He recorded 208mph several times but couldn't get the average in the right part of the coarse.
While he was trying, someone pushed the record up to 211mph.
He didn't do to bad for a rooky allthough he is a former world record holder in some of the smaller classes.
Hows the drag racing going in Finland ?

An intresting thing about Murrays atempt.
All the testing that he did in the UK went out the window due to the altitude and tempratures at Bonneville.
Brad, his engineer on the nitrous/fueling electronics side couldn't make the trip.
On every run that Murray made, Brad in the UK was monitoring all the data from the datalogger and advising Murray on how to correct the set up of the fueling systems. Kinda cool,  what. ::) ::) ::)
