Thanks to all of the VOLUNTEERS.....
The 5-Ball Racing Team made it to the salt flats last week.
WE had one great week among Racers and Mother Nature. The track was more than challenging although records were recorded.
This was the first time out for the new Raycer.
Tuesday afternoon we staged 4th in line on the International Long Course...wind shut the course down.
Wednesday we we're rained out and drying, waiting for a last day chance at making a pass.
Thursday morning the Long Course was a slippery ride at best for those that chose to give it a shot.
My decision was to learn from the ride out and back on Tuesday.
Future plans include The STREET, Ohio, Texas and Mojave Mile.
The new Hot Rod runs like a rocket and handles perfectly so far. The bike is also street legal....
Dan Thayer found 263 HP and 248 ft lbs of torque.
Hyperformance/R&RCycle, Series 66 Aerocharger, 124 inch S&S Cycle Twin Cam....

It really looks great.
Sorry you never got to do what you were there for.
All the best going forward. :cheers:

That is a lot of horsepower. I can see why you want to wait for good salt.
