Aussie Speedweek 2016
« on: March 01, 2016, 07:10:52 PM »
Heard that our good friend and team mate, Kim Krebs went 208 on the rebuilt 750 that was destroyed in the fires at Greg's farm. So Kimmie is in the DLRA 200 club and is the first Australian women over 200 ( not sure if that is just bikes or??)
Bonneville 2001,2002,2003,2004,and NO stinking 2005,DLRA 2006, next?
Well,sure can't complain about 2008--6 records over 200 and 5 hats from Bonneville,Bubs, and El Mirage for the team!

Yeah, that'd be bikes.

As a lot of you know its not everyday you meet people as nice, smart or fast as Kim and Greg
Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

Yeah,Slim, there is that--- :-D

Just got a quick text from Greg about results for Black Art Racing at the DLRA Speedweek. Neill Finlay went 222 MPH, Kim Krebs went 212 MPH, and Greg went 213 naked which I think makes him the fastest naked guy in Australia  :cheers:---- and good friend, Mick Donohue got his licensing passes out of the way while Marg worked in the timing booth! Good show all!!!
