The problem that the fast guys have going 400 mph at the Bub Meet is the length of course Denis grades for his long course. Mike Cook grades all the way to the highway. This gives the Cook course an additional mile and a half or so. The Vincent streamliner has been invited to attend several times, but coming up with the $5000 to Mike, and then splitting the cost for the FIM Officials to show up is virtually impossible. That's a boatload of money for this old pensioneer, even if I have had a lot of help from my friends.
Denis called me three or four months ago to check on my health, as I'd just undergone a pretty extensive surgery. I asked what the status of the Bub Lucky 7 was, he said, "It's ready to run", however, he said he didn't feel he could make any runs this year.
Mike Akatiff with Rocky Robinson at the helm will undoubtably push the LSR record to over 400 mph. In my opinion it'll be a major hurdle for anyone to challenge the Ack Attack machine.
