Hey guys. Currently I'm in Utah at Bonneville salt flats racing my old boss' car.

Yesterday we arrived at the track around 2:30pm and set up shot. Today we passed tech inspection and I did the driver bailout. Tomorrow we run our first time of the week.

Safety gear requirements:
-Impact Super Sport SA2005 helmet with Hans anchors
-Hans carbon fiber neck restraint
-Impact balaclava(head sock)
-fire suit
-Impact arm restraints
-Impact driving shoes
-Impact 5 point harness

Did the vehicle bailout in 5 seconds

I didn't make it out this year. By chance did you get any pics of 240sx's out there? Maybe the McMeekin car? Orange, looked like this last year:

?? They changed classes this year, and I'm curious what changes they had to make to do so.
