Max's sidecar liner just passed my location at the International 3 mile, heading toward the 0. I'm kinda waitin for Peg Leg Craig to run. As far as I know, he's at the 0 and should run soon.

Well, I guess Craig isn't gonna run for a while. A group of bikes just came to the 3 mile on the International course and are launching from here. So here are some fotos without captions.

How does #85 with the roll bar run in APS? Streamlining is limited to seat/tail section and windshield/fairing.
With the rider in the racing position, the rider must be able to be
seen (hands and arms excluded) entirely from either side. |

Max's sidecar liner just made a pass, but it didn't sound good as it went by the 3 and the laundry got tossed out before it went thru the measured mile and turned out. More info as I get it.
Meanwhile, here are some more fotos of a Confederate bike as it starts up, heads for the line and launches.
DAMMMIT TO HELLL!!! Craig's sidecar liner just went by with absolutely zero indication on any frikkin radio. I've waited for 2 hours to get a shot of it and it's gone down course. But the support truck just came by honking and waving...and he ran a 181. I guess I'll wait for a record return.
Yes, it's gettin late and I'm gettin wore out and cranky.

Three more for the time being: a Suzuki, the Lambky liner and a 1650 bagger.

Ray, you are all spoiled at speed week as I try to keep everyone informed to whats going on with three courses and they can't even announce whats current on any thing. That really sucks. Announcing is a huge part of the event. It means a lot to the other racers and the general public. Thanks for you and Joe for your inputs, at least we get something.

Craigs sidecar has been completely rebuilt and it has Wossner pistons and rods in his 1000, he built the engine himself..  I think the existing record for FIM was 167 or so? Way too go Craig.... Return with an even higher speed...  |

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.

Ray and all you guys thanks for all the up to the minute updates and all the photos.almost makes me feel like I`m there.NOT. I even Drug my knuckles on the cement,Hit my little finger with a ball pin hammer and burned my forearm on a hot pipe just to feel like I`m in the Lambky`s liner Pit. The latest I heard on Lambky`s Liner when they turned off early was Hartmut was running off coarse do to a strong wind,and it was`nt sounding right.There is also a leak behind the Clutch.They will be the last boys off the salt tonight.Later Days Little Max

I wish you were here, Glen. It'd make things a lot easier. Well, the day's coming to a close and some food and some sleep will prolly do me a world of good. |
