You follow the topic BUB here http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,4575.0.htmlI also moved this topic into the proper catagory of "Bub General Chat" Deb posted the following "I just got off the phone from talking with Leslie! I don't think she could be any more excited!!! She backed up her 231mph mile run with a 233.184 which will net her a 232 FIM/AMA record in MPS BF 2000!!!" JonAmo |

 Pic by RayTheRat at SW08 http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,4575.msg61771.html#msg61771I don't believe the 1650-2000cc area is known to be an easy place to make these bikes live, so congrats to Scott Horner and Heads Up Performance on making it live long enough & be strong enough for the runs. And congrats to Leslie Porterfield and High Five Cycles for squeezing every bit out of it on the course to grab this record. Nice team work and riding! Todd |

Faster,
I peaked at your profile & noticed your email is at skinzwraps.com. Is your company the maker of that interesting wrap
that Leslie's bike is sporting? The pic posted above shows it pretty well. It had an interesting golf ball like effect.
Very intriguing. I have no clue if it helped but it sure looked clean!
Debbie
PS: in regards to Leslie's record, she made the runs and the time however she'll need to complete final certification of the
bike/engine for the record to be official. They're not new to record setting so there's no reason to think they won't pass
but it's still not a done deal until the paperwork is complete! I believe it will all be finalized at the end of the meet tomorrow
if not sooner. (if it's not already so)

Debbie,
No, we just cut her numbers plates for her bike as a favor for Al Lamb. (we wrapped his AL LAMB HONDA transporter). I saw on this sight that she broke the record last week and figured you guys would know, so I posed the question....as for the polkadots, it is probably just a fashion statement. With the races now over, I will revisit in 09

I'm going to have to get the wrap redone on the trailer! Someone's easy-up crashed into it.
I also set a record on the 1000 p-p with the 08 CBR1000 at 192.9!!

Congrats on the 1000cc record! I heard you were nipping at someone's heals but hadn't heard the end result! Bummer about the trailer wrap!

I just got off the phone with Delvene Manning, reporting to her that the promised run logs and records (pending or certified) and prize winners from the Bub's meet -- still have not shown up in my email inbox.
She was filling her vehicle with fuel in Winnemucca when I spoke to her, so I doubt I'll get any email 'til she's at home (which should be late tonight) and has a chance to catch up. In other words, tomorrow at the earliest.

We were running against the MV Agusta team. They were tough to beat on the 1000.

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

I'm about to let the cat out of the bag about Leslie. I know how she does it. Her real name is Samantha and I saw her wiggle her nose before she took off on her machine. When no one else was looking, I snapped this photo of her on her pit bike. Need I say more?  |
