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.

Leslie has done well.............by all means vote for her.
But........... let's rewind over 30 years and talk about women and motorcycles.
Marcia Holley was the first woman to establish a record above 200 MPH on two wheels. The way
I see it is that is called a motorcycle. It was a conventional streamliner.
That made her a star of the 2 Club. First woman, there have been many since, and she did it with a motorcycle, conventional
or whatever. Her reception into the Club was not warm. She shattered the "old boys" club. They didn't welcome her as they do
the ladies now days. She crewed with Vesco and when offered the chance to crank it on in the 'liner, she slid her butt into that
aluminum can, without electronic fuel management and computer aided tuning, a drive tire with a foot print of 5/8 of an inch and
less traction than any of todays "big foot print" bikes and ran a 229 MPH record. Oh ya, she also ran a 272 MPH record in a streamlined
car after that. When did I say, 1978...........
Leslie, I congratulate you on your accomplishments but Marcia was first on a budget that was less than your hauler's fuel bill.
Sports fans, you read history about presidents but to be educated in LSR history you had to be there because Marcia's
accomplishments weren't documented as are todays, especially when it involves a talented knock out lady.
Say, did you ever see the advertisement for the Gold Belt for motocross riders in 1975?
That was Marcia. She was a first in that also. We just didn't have the internet then.
When the word “first” is used, it doesn't need an adjective to describe the motorcycle.
It only needs a name in the motorcycle records and that name is Marcia Holley.
Look in the 1979 SCTA record book. If you don't accept that, ask Jack Dolan.
Oh,who is Jack Dolan?
