WOW, what a weekend!!!
Beth ended up breaking the record that she chased on the last outing on her first run this event and she blew away the old 149 MPH record by 3 MPH, which is huge!

She ended up breaking 3 more records over the weekend, two of which she broke on her first attempt!! She got a little squirrely on one attempt and had to make a second pass to spank the old record good enough.

Here are some of the speeds she recorded and the speed records she broke:
E/BGT: Old record was 149.750, she raised it to 152.17062 MPH

E/FMS: Old record was 141.60740 she raised it to 142.29426, then made a second pass and broke her own record by going 148.28585 MPH!

E/GSS: Old record was 139.5170 she raised it to 149.80027, in other words she blew it away by over 10 MPH!!

E/FSS: Old record was 138.48500 she raised it to 149.27165 blowing it away by 11 MPH!!

All but one of the records was a fuel or blown class, and her car was running on pump gas with no blower! She also only has a 3.4 liter engine, but the class allows up to 4 liters!

She did a hell of a job driving, especially considering she still broke a record with the car almost going out of control at the top end of 4th gear!!

She wasn't very shaken up after the car got loose :-)
