My wife got a Facebook announcement that said that the new AMA landspeed records were now posted on the AMA websight.  Be darned if I can find them.  Anybody got a clue about the runs and records?

Found it! It's under the "News" heading, not the landspeed racing heading.

Hi folks,

My wife and I were first time spectators this year. I've been a race-goer for many years, from club racing to Formula One and lots in-between and I have to say this was one of the finest events, with the nicest people, that I have experienced. Of course I am now pouring over the records, dreaming of finding a class I might be able to run a competitive bike in...

I shot a little video from our canopy at the very end of the pits, catching bikes as they ran through the third mile. Had a few technical issues and it's not great, but maybe some will enjoy -

Nice video Doc.  I suggest you post an intro and list a location.   This is a diverse group someone might be a neighbor.  Plus if you don't Slim will force a location on for you.

Poop.  You take all the fun out of it.  I've invented some truly creative locations -- always like testing myself, yanno.  Whatever, wherever, -- welcome to the Monkey House.

I admit that I don't really live on Bainbridge Island. It's the highbrow neighborhood where we have our offices. My house is on the poor side of a Norwegian fishing village down the road called Poulsbo. There is another "town" called Scandia further down the road from my house. It's composed of a bible church and a punkin' patch. Hope your Skandia at least has a karaoke bar or vacant car dealership or something.
Kinda wish I was closer to Bellingham. The Super Rat Double Duc is from there and was amazing to see it run on the salt.

Slim... Frostbite Falls would be a great place to live... way better than Frostbit Balls.......

Sometimes I think you might be too isolated from your own little world UP there

Doc, Skandia, Michigan, is pretty much a memory.  There's the post office/township hall and a small engine repair shop and Dennis Takala's sawmill.  Once US41 was re-routed a bunch of years ago -- the town has kinda dwindled from an inauspicious little fart to dang near nothing.

And we like living in a township with population 987.  There's a stop light just 16 or so miles form our house. :-D

Sounds just like my town. Well, 40 years ago. Nowadays we are a Navy town (sub base Bangor) and a stone's throw from one of the biggest nuclear arsenals in the country. Gives one a warm fuzzy feeling. Literally.

At BMST I thought I heard an announcement over the somewhat intermittent radio broadcast that a bike from Bremerton, WA was running. That's just down the road from me, another big Navy town (shipyard). Does anyone know if I heard right?

The Sodium Distortion guys had some awesome bikes there. I gather that they are from various towns. WA was very well represented.
