Danny was on Wind Tunnel last night. Great interview and very cool Bonneville Mustang.

My Uncle was out there this last week. I believe he said they have a 3 mile and a 7 mile.

I think the 7 mile is 3 to get up to speed, then a flying mile, then 3 to slow down; and they have to do the course in reverse within an hour, I think, to counter any wind help, and qualify for any records
