SpeedWeek 2022

[Glenn Quarles]

This was a few minutes ago. I really didn’t expect it to get this good with the north wind today, but it’s turning out to be a beautiful day!

Another beautiful sunset just after we quit running.

I hope it is a fantastic event for you, your wife, and everyone attending! Nonstop frigid temps in Mich. the past several weeks have kept me working 16+ hours a day to keep the fleet of trucks I maintain running. I was planning on going despite issues at work. While driving home on Wed. a plow truck sent a chunk of concrete into my lane that I couldn’t avoid. A cracked oil pan, torn off exhaust system & bent rear axle ended my hopes of going to Speedweek. I can fix everything, no one was injured, & that’s what counts in the end. Please keep us posted Glenn, and have fun!!!!

Wow, that is really terrible!! I’m glad everyone is ok! Hopefully you can get your truck fixed with no problems and maybe we’ll see you here next year. Take care!

Good morning folks! Day 2 of SpeedWeek is going good! Great weather with perfect water and a density alt way below sea level. So far two new records have been set…Tyler Garrard set the T hydro oval and John Finch the gas scale oval.

[Jerry Muro]

if it is the same as John and I spoke about two years ago it is modified ML kit but maybe he has a new one wait for john to reply.

 

[Glenn Quarles]

[HTV Boats]

Congrats to all and Tyler for the "T" record. Ralph and I will give that a try later in the week so whats the time we need to shoot for?

Do you happen to know which boat?
What Master Hull Roster number.

I don’t know the hull number, but it was the first turbine powered boat (I think) . Had two turbine engines and I think for a short while drive with the US Air Force colors. Hope this helps.

Mic, I don’t remember his time, but it was more than a second faster than the old record.

I think so also.
White with orange & yellow stripes?

Glenn is correct.
