update 9/05 late
At point zero.
There are about 40 motorcycles in front of the Vincent streamliner, and 6 other streamliners. Denis Manning is in line next to them. It's too windy for the streamliners so it's a waiting game. Cloudy.
"...but that's Bonneville."

Hartmut made the run. Took it to 188 mph. but couldn't open it up, as the liner is still experiencing handling problems. We're back in the pit working on the the handling. Hopefully will get another run in today.

Hartmut said he got off course and cut through the red ribbon like a knife through butter, but he brought her back.
We're in line again. Handling is trial and error testing, not a mechanical problem.

Wind came up again. Only 10 minutes till meet closes for the day.
Denis says the streamliners will be first in line at 7:00 am.
