Rick Vesco of Rockville, which sits in the shadow of Zion National Park, built Turbinator II and it became the first wheel-driven vehicle to exceed 500 miles per hour last year. That resulted in two courses that were basically for rookies and one four-mile course that drivers of elite cars such as Poteet and Dave Spangler of Turbinator II use in record attempts.
Organizers were forced to eliminate one course this year. “When we had rain Thursday night, it delayed the meet three days. “The course is very wet,” said SCTA media liaison JoAnn Carlson. Speed Week was supposed to begin Saturday but a rainstorm that hit early last week cancelled the first three days of racing and had event organizers from the Southern California Timing Association scrambling to lay a safe course for the 71st annual event.
