The record in my class is 164.230 mph but any increase is good with me. Right now the main goal is to break the 150 mark. And for those that might wonder, the red '70 scrub (#403) that ran last year could only muster 135 mph this year with his 590 hp sbc.

Tim, Congrats Thanks for sharing your run, that will probably be as close as I will come to running at Bonneville.

Congratulations Tim on a very successful event. 147 mph in a truck like that is just awesome. Everyone appreciates your efforts and speed, but I suspect not many really comprehend just how much effort it takes to make a truck go that fast with only 304 cu. in. Hats off my friend. I too believe there is more in that motor. Looking forward to watching you find it at El Mirage.

I'm back home now, can't stay all week as I have to get home to clean up everything before going back to work. Thanks for all the positive comments, I made 10 runs down the salt, five on course three and five on the combo course. I like the idea of the combo course but all I got was slower runs there so I went back to the number three. I feel that is where the best traction was. 147.19 on the first pass was the best we could manage. (5 mph faster than last year) The wind was a factor but in the end it was up to me and my tuning. I had one pass (#3) where two rockers backed off on me, I don't think it did any real damage but after I fixed everything I never did any better than 142. Bummer! Still had a good time, saw a lot of great people and came back alive.  There is still more there I think and we will find it at El Mirage in the next few months. Anyway, here's the best run of Speed Week 2013. If you listen to me at the end you can tell even I was impressed.
