Bar Stool Racer


Bryan's company has put together a team to build a bar stool racer for two years. This year the IMDS team set a new world record! Last year, the first year IMDS was in the competition, they hit 35 mph. The world record to beat was 49.8 mph. This year IMDS hit a an unofficial top speed of 58mph! The recorded speed between the speed trap markers was 55.55 mph. The second run hit 51.3 mph. The new record is calculated as the average of these two runs. As of 6pm on 9/18/09 IMDS holds the world record for fastest bar stool...53mph. The Bonneville Salt Flats are amazing. It was so pretty but we came back coated in salt...You should have seen my poor car! We all had so much fun though, and we were excited to be a part of such an exciting event!

Kira had such a good first birthday! We had so much fun, especially Bry since he was able to go get
his new truck! That's right, Bryan Howard no longer owns a jeep!!! Back to Kira :) She loved her cake and all her presents so thank you everyone who sent gifts and birthday money, we really appreciate it. She had a wonderful birthday.
