« on: October 05, 2012, 03:18:58 PM »
OK, ok, its been a bit quiet here since the 2012 BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials has ended.  So kindly allow me to start instigating some stories by telling ours.

This year, 10 months of near daily work, then final drag strip testing on our new Gray Ghost ll project paid off.  Warner tells the story best - preperation is everythingin the realm of Land Speed Racing. :cheers:
Enjoy the short clip - kindly leave a comment - Then come back here and tell us your story for 2012
Many THANKS to Denis, Delvene, Linea, and all the BUB Volunteers that work so hard so we can play on the salt for five days.   :cheers:

Now its time to start getting ready for next year.  :-D

Your video was nice.

This year I got cover two areas that were fun.
1. Working tech. inspection/impound.
2. Have a bike & rider in the race.
Yep, had a blast, and looking forward to the 2013 BUB meet.

My experience, 20 feet from the radio tent was real good.  No, great.
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

My experience (and Dawns) was fantastic this year.
Yet again surrounded by great friends and having great fun.
A few days selling shirts etc in the trailer followed by a couple of days down at mile 0 International. Thank you to all that made our vacation so much fun.
I hope I can say same time next year? But I guess we will have to see what the next few months brings.
