What a day. We still have the record, but we are really in a battle. Our arch rival is a lady named Leslie Porterfield from Dallas, Texas. This is the story of Bonneville at its finest.

Right now we are literally 1 mph apart in our speeds. We still hold the edge. The attitude is friendly competition and may the fastest person win. Today we showed up at the line at exactly the same time and ran one after the other. I've attached photos on of Leslie and Rosey on the starting line. You'll also see Leslie on another bike she has here where she set a new world record of something more than 234mph. To say that we are impressed is an understatement. But that's what this place is all about. It's sportsmanship, comradeship, and everyone helping each other. It's unique in the world of motorsports.

Today we went nuts trying to make our MV go faster and the harder we tried the slower we went. But tonight over a Corona beer we figured we know the problem. We'll make the change in the morning and we'll see what happens. We're confident.....just as we were today! But Leslie has us crazy because she is such a great competitor....just as committed as we are.

We had another competitor stop by to see us. He was Jason McVicar who just two weeks ago came off his bike at the Bonneville Nationals at 240mph. He was scraped up, but was back on his bike here today where he set a new world record of 238mph. That's commitment!

The weather has been cooperative, but the salt changes by the hour. I sure hope we get it right tomorrow!
