 This was an a\early moning, and the sunrise over the Salt was spectacular. |
 It was a cold morning. Who would have thought that it would be cold in the dessert... |
 Richards view down the track just before the marshall (the guy with the headset) gives him the "GO" |
 The mountains are a long way away. |
 Richard has got the poker face on for the Return Run for the APS-PF record. The average of the record run and the return run becomes your actual time. |
 In this case this average was plenty to set a new National Land Speed Record. Qualifying run was 156.865 MPH. Return run was 156.489 MPH. The previous record was 124.017 MPH - our new record is 156.677 MPH |
 After picking up the bike we stop by the timing tent (at the 3 Mile marker) to pick up the timing slip. Aaron is congratulated by one of the officials. |
 The boys are understandably proud. |
 After the return run it's back to the impound, where Henry, the motorcycle Technical Inspector meets us. |
 Henry and his trusty assistant, Cricket, makes sure everything is on the level. |
 Henry watches as Aaron fills out the sign-up sheet for the next record. |
 He's signing up for the MPS-PG class. We are going after the BMW record of 154 MPH. |
 Everyone is happy with a job well done. |
