That's what we need -- more motorcycle classes.  What about the ones with the green seats?  Reminds me of the guy who told me his '55 Chevy shouldn't compete with the Monzas 'cause the Tri-Five were what the people came to see.  After all, this is basically a spectator sport, right?

Momentary hijack, if you don't mind.  Maybe it's 'cause I race bikes and not cars -- but just what, exactly, is a "Tri-Five" -- other than a Chevy something.  What are the three fives involved?  Thanks.

Everything I need (or at least I think I need) from the garage is in the pile ready to go. WOW I hope I dont need all of it... 2 days of flying, come home, pack it up and then we are going to blow this popsicle stand:D

Looks like a pretty small pile.  Mine fills my trailer as well as the back of the pick-up truck.  The bicycle is a must have.

I have a really good group of guys that are more than capable of keeping it together as long as I do my part.

Now its time to put this baby to bed and go racing :cheers:

There are some other guys who land their planes at the Salt Flats.  No reason you shouldn't do the same.

Well, really, there is a reason not to land your plane opn the salt this year.  Really, although maybe if that's his personal plane he could buy his way out of it.  But - BLM  has stated unequivocally that no planes will be allowed to land on the salt this year. :cry:

I see on the run logs that bike #6661B made runs of 164mph and 154mph on an open record.  No turn-outs or false starts.  8pack you are to be congratulated for successfully completing these fantastic runs.  Must be making some glorious music.

We hit a soft spot on the way to 200 and had a rear bearing fail.
