The car hit near the mark on this run, but overshot the end of the track by three miles. ur Can the Utah Stars make it nine in a row over the Rockets? That will be answered Wednesday night at the Salt Palace at 7:3U p.m. when the Stars and Rockets open the American Basketball Association season. Dating back to the playoffs last spring, the Stars have won eight straight over th Rockets including Saturdays night win, in Grand Junction, Colo. Im encouraged about our efforts in exhibition games, said Stars coach Bill Shar-maBut needless to say Im just like any coach Im not completely satisfied. With the veterans we picked up over the summer, Zelmo Beaty, Donnie Freeman and Red Robbins, weve been shooting well, playing smart ball and just making the right moves at the right times. My biggest concern is our rebounding. Weve been getting out boarded an average of 19 boards a game and this is a 123-10- n. Flame DSke& less After On Chutes ESraking By TOM BROWN could produce. Deseret News Sports Writer BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS My luck still holds. I came close to pullinp a Breedlove, but I was lucky, Gary Gabelich said late Sunday walking away from the Blue Flame, over three miles off the end of the Bonneville Salt Flats. Gary was ending the fifth and final run of the day for the land speed record car when the braking parachutes failed to open and the car mushed to a stop from the starting point, overshooting his planned stopping point by four miles. The shroud lines on the drogue chutes were burned awav. Gry said after the mie and hour run. I looked back and saw the fire in the engine, but what I didnt know was that the engine had burned the lines on the drogue chute again. In the run before final one, tlie pronellant, (liquefied natural gas), was allowed to bum too long after the oxidant (hvdrogen peroxide) was shut off. That extended burn let a flame lick un to the narachute oomnartment over the engine where the chutes wrcre stored. to Jim Deist, According th,e manufacturer of the braking chutes, the crew had tried to put foil around the end of the chutes to stop any more burning. "I wasnt very happy with the set up, but they approved it and were ready to run. The braking system on the e car uses two, parachutes, as Deist explained. The first stage begins when compressed air fires out a small piston from the end of the car which pulls the cover off the pilot chute.

We were getting a little excited, Dean Dietrich, the project manager said just before the run. It looks like we may try for the record if the run coming up is close to the record. Well go for it and get out of here. Just before the run, the crew had packed the foil around the chutes and bored out the injector nozzles to increase the amount of LNG flowing into the rocket engine. At 5:45 p.m. he was off and roaring down the- salt at 550 mph when he left the end of the track.
