[Land-speed] World of Speed update

[Jon Wennerberg]

Well, we'll have a race course -- tomorrow (Thursday).  Here's the  
latest scoop:

Things are drying nicely.  We will not have any access to the salt  
today, Wednesday, but tomorrow morning we'll be allowed out there to  
set up the pits.  The drivers meeting will be tomorrow, and racing  
will start tomorrow.

The course will be a fuyll long course -- seven good miles now, and  
Jim Burkdoll, race director, is heading out to drag from the 7 to the  
9 to give lots of run-off/back door room.

The pits are much smaller, as usual, than at SpeedWeek -- but when we  
were there they weren't very wet at all.  There was a bit of standing  
water -- small puddles, maybe a foot or so in diameter -- with very  
wet and glistening salt on the surface.  I wouldn't care to set up the  
pit today.

But -- we'll be ready for tomorrow.  Yee-hah, we're gonna race --  
assuming, that is, that the weather turns out as per the forecast --  
which is nice and warm and sunny and mild winds.

For photos go to the forum on landracing.com and look at the "World  
Off Speed Results" topic.
