Afternoon Day 6, August 17 (W) [Chico] made a 220.898mph pass, which makes him a contender for the class record which is currently 219mph.
However, in order to make a record, you must complete a two run average. You make one pass and turn around and make another pass within a limited time frame. The average of the two speeds are the official run. When you make a potential speed record on the first pass, you have to wait until the following morning at 7AM for the return run.
It was discovered that during the last run, a Rocker Arm came off. So perhaps it would have been possible to go even faster had it not came off.
Everyone was happy because the Rocker Arm would be a required fix but not a major task. They'd handle the fix in the morning before the Record Run.

Any race car that is in line for a record run gets inspected by a BNI Official to make sure it's in regulation specifics for its class.

After the inspection, it gets an "Inspected" sticker and a time (12:56) written on it indicating how time the race car can be worked on. Once the time expires, maintenance must stop and the car is impounded. The impound is where the race car stays until its record run the next day. No one is allowed into the impound area.

With the race car in the impound area and not being able to work on it, Chico spent the day behind the counter at the MOONEYES shop trailer.

Look at this Food Booth. Bonneville has really commercialized in recent times.

RECORD RUN! However...
Unfortunately, the rocker arm that came off the day before came off again but this time at the beginning of the run so there was no power. Visually the damage doesn't look too serious but the rocker arm stud that mounts to the head was pulled out. But, this is what it is. Year after year, again and again, the quest for speed is what brings them back to Bonneville every time.
One way speed of 220mph is awesome.
Dean MOON in the MOONBEAM was clocked in a one way run of over 200mph but on the Record Run, he never beat the class record, and also never made it officially into the 200 Mile Club.
Bonneville is not an ordinary place.
2011 Bonneville Speed Week is now over.
