Starting Line

This is the starting line for the little motor that could.

Michael beat the old record by more then 3 mph.

They have to make two runs to make the record.

The two way average was 66.433 mph.

If you think that 66 mph not that fast,
they are racing at 4200 feet above sea level in 98 degree temps.
Michael wore his twenty pounds of leather suit for over six hours in those 98 degree temps.

So far, only 19 records have been broken this week,
which makes Michael's run even more special.
