At The Starting Line

I’ll be timed between the 2 mile and the 2 1/4 mile markers. The goal was to run 150 mph but if my speed exceeded mph I would be disqualified since I had entered in the “150 Club“. The orange markers in the distance are the 1 mile course markers. The starter hears over his radio that the course is clear, bends down to see me through the windshield, gives me a hand signal to lower my helmet face shield, and then gives me the go-ahead. The salt this year was unusually hard and smooth. I see that I left two black tire marks on the salt when I left. This is the culmination of 20 years of building this car.
