I've heard little news of the ultra-fast streamliners for this years upcoming BUB speed event.
I'm speaking of streamliners like Ack Attack, Wheelers EZ Hook, Mannings record holder..... streamliners of that potential.
Is there any newsworthy gossip going around about them? I am attending BUB as a spectator...and I love the streamliners.
Has anyone built a new one for BUB 2010? Details?
Extended weather forecast for the salt looks good so far............

I have heard that Ack Attack and the Vincent streamliner are the only 300+ mph streamliners that will be runnning. Bub 7 will not be run again until somebody beats his record I believe.

That makes sense for Denis not to come out until either his record is beat or his companies finances get better and with the economy we are in it will take some time. Dan when did the Vincent streamliner run 300+ mph? I do not recall that? John |

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.

Dan, Dont start now.  We all wish Max and team the best and I hope they can do it because Max may not be able to keep trying this as it is so expensive..lets hope for a 300mph for him and his team.  |

Oh I did not know that. I thought he was running the Vincent in normal streamliner config. Guess we will only have one bike capable of 300+ this year then.

After watching Max's rebuild the last several months, and seeing the effort it takes to not only run a streamliner like that, but hold it all together is a monumental task. I feel good about that new ek630 chain, it is a brute - Now - GO Max GO ! And thanks Stainless for posting the photos and narratives of that rebuild at Thunderdome Packed up and ready to head west for the BUB meet Jimbo |

I am not sure of anything except I am getting older every day but that is what I was told by a pretty reliable source. That reliable source is they are already pre-entered according to the Bubs website. Like I said on another post I like to see things in writing!! |

Top 1 Oil Ack Attack, Sam Wheeler and Denis Manning are NOT running at the event.
Not sure of any other super fast two wheeled liners running. Wait there are not any as of this time that are proven.
Max I believe is running sidecar... I dropped Stainless off at the airport yes in Denver so he could fly back to Kansas to help Max load and drive out to Denver, then switch tow vehicles to the Dually and then tow out to the salt.

True about Denis and Sam, I heard Ack was in for the Cook meet, sure would like to see the Ack Attack at the BUB meet though.

Bub may not have the length needed for a record attempt, would be great however Mike is very smart and knows what it will take to recapture the MC Ulimate record..
