BLUEBIRD MINI RALLY AT MAXTON, NC

[John]

For those of you that still can't figure out why we get all excited
about the races at Maxton, check out these videos, from the race at
Maxton, during our last Bluebird Mini-Rally there;

Click on these Video titles;

"Worlds Fastest Viper in the Mile" (ride along inside for the record
setting run)

"SVS wins Hot Rod Top Speed Challenge!" (trackside view of two Land
Speed runs)

These record setting runs at Maxton are all done in a standing start,
to one mile electronically timed run and are recognized as World land
Speed Records in the standing mile, very similar to those set on the
Bonneville Salt Flats, but only for the standing mile.

In my opinion it is the best $5.00 you will ever spend for the entire
weekend rally, that you will ever attend.
