It was not Spirit of Texas that went off course, it was Liquid Quiker. Spirit of Texas had a good launch and then Scott shut it off at half track. He called me not long after the run.....he knows it is killing me to be here while he is there racing.
Good Luck to all and keep 'em safe!

The race report that I received was the Liquid Quiker did run a 4.59, Speed Sports ran a 4.95, Spirit of Texas sneezed at the hit and shut off. Not sure about how Hot Licks...sorry they couldnt tell me Hot Licks numbers.
Buzz did say that they didn't think they wouldn't be able to get Ronnie's helmet back on after that 4.59----too big of a smile! Congrats to the Liquid Quiker team, that is just excellent!! We are so excited for them!! Wish we were there for celebrate with you and have a cold canadian Labatt! |

| Congrats to the Liquid Quicker team! Does anybody know what his other speed was! I guess if it was also in the 260's, someone would have said it. |

| Unfortunately there was an issue with getting the MPH's on either run of Liquid Quiker. So they will not be able to have the speed's of either of their record passes. |

The TAF will not be able to complete their "Best 2 out of 3" competition. There was a bang at the end of the last run and Don ended up hurting the boat and not being able to make the next round. Steve and Don both had one win under their belts and they decided to call it a draw!!
The two Texas top fuel boats will be coming out for a Texas showdown. The ASN put some prize money together for the winner of this match up. Good Luck to both teams!! |

| So the 269 that was posted and the 270 were not accurate? |

John,
There were no speeds recorded on either one of Liquid Quikers record setting runs, so any MPH's that are posted anywhere are guesses or best calculations. It was really too bad that both runs did not get the speeds. The Triple Crown" would have been great but they won the race AND set the ET record, all in all, not a bad weekend.
Again Congratulations to all the winners it was an exciting and safe weekend of racing!!
