Not much excitement in Saturday morning's runs though Victor Ragusila did make a small piece of history by carrying a six-pack of BEER[1] down the course in Vortex' small but handy luggage bay.  Conditions look good for tonight's finale, though it's not as hot as we'd like.

1 - Moose Drool, from Missoula MT.  Rather nice, in spite of the off-putting name...

Saturday pm was a Slow Day.  Sam was fastest, but not by enough to trouser the first place prize money.  Greg Westlake might have been on to raise his own record still further, but contrived to miss the tape exiting the traps chiz.  So Sebastiaan was fastest, the first time in the history of the event that anyone other than Sam has been at the top of the timesheet.

And then home.

A rather different story to Blue Yonder's attempt 10 years ago.
