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.

He and I have discussed him paying for his stuff. We've also hinted back and forth about how much free wind tunnel time we'll get when we go there with our stable of race bikes.
Thanks for your support, Kent. I've taken all of the old stickers off my pickup -- but I think I've still got some AirTech stickers to put back on it. Just in case I can't find 'em -- have a couple or three with you at SpeedWeek, hey?
Note: Kent has supported Seldom Seen Slim Land Speed Racing in the past. And this website is willing to discuss payments in kind in exchange for advertising -- although cash does go pretty far towards making me smile, too. Thanks to all that have contributed in any way.

kent I’m on here to help inform as much as I can about aero. Aerodynamics is one of your biggest obstacles to overcome and the least looked at by most of the LS racers. I figured there would be some interest in wind tunnel testing, the types of teams using them, some of the things they learn, so that aero can be better understood by people that don’t understand why there are wind tunnels and how they are used by race teams and what type of information is learned at a test to optimize the aero. I apologize that I don’t get on here more often to post more “interesting” stuff that appeals to 100% of the group, but do what I can with my busy work schedule. I do try and chime in to answer questions people have about aero on posts and private messages when time allows which I can say is not often. I thought that there might be some American pride, and interest that the US bobsled team is doing aero development in the wind tunnel before this next year Olympics to get all they can out of their performance, and I wish them the best of luck at the 2010 games. I hope you do too? If slim has a problem with me on here he has not brought it to my attention, and I welcome him to contact me so discuss it further 704.799.1001. I did receive an email right when I joined LS about advertising (over a year ago) but there was no follow up and got no indication from it what so ever that would constitute “discussed him paying for his stuff”. I don’t recall ever hearing that we would only like you to be apart of Land Racing if you advertise otherwise we don’t want you to post anything or be a member of the site. I apologize if slim or anyone thinks I’m taking advantage of the website if that is the case, and that was never my intention for joining the site. I enjoy reading most of the posts and builds on here. I thought there would be some value for the members on here to chime in and help educate in any way about wind tunnels and aerodynamics since that is a big part of what you guys are doing. |

Keep up with the info A2. It's appreciated. Real info is valuable. Aero can be tricky.
