Does anyone know how David Edwards did on the Green ZX14?  He was up at the line for his first run when we pulled out Monday.  Simon made 3 passes Sunday and Monday morning to sort the bike out and their father, whom I believe is 76 years old, ran 84.1 mph on a Yamaha 350 for his personal best Monday morning. 

Lance and I had a great time hanging out with this crowd and we look forward to pitting in their neighborhood if we get a bike or two out there next year.  Thanks again for everything to the Edwards Racing family.
 :cheers:
Sorry so long in responding.  I met Simon Edwards in pre-stage and saw him later in tech.  From what I heard, he ran the record on down run, then blew up at the 2 on the return run but still set the record at 201 or so.  I will try to post some photos later, as I just got back from the AHRMA races at Miller.

Were there any photographers set up that took pictures of all the runs for 2013? D&W Images?
Also... did they hand out the 2013 metal BUB disk this year? Got one for 2010 and 2011 but not this year.

Thanks

Brother Lou did several days of run videos & Scooter Grub also did his high quality stills every day.  One of the largest attendances I've seen in years.  Both tracks were in Great shape.  We are more then happy with our record run of 174.9 with our little Sportster, and upping our personal best to 176.4  :-D 

Now its time to get ready for next year  :cheers:

As usual Woody you produced a great set of photos. They wouldn't load last night but they came up just fine today. Thanks for putting in the effort. It's appreciated by those of us that weren't there.  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Great run! Who is Brother Lou? I am interested in a video of one of my runs if I was lucky enough to get in front of his lens. (see bike description)

The "coasters" have donated to the BUB event in the past by Barnett Tool and Eng....................The BUB people need to keep in contact with their potential sponsors and answer their E-Mails....which they have not done to date..................

As a follow up to my last post, regarding very little to no answers from the "BUB People"......I sold one of my Salt bikes to a chap in New Zealand.........it is a race bike, so no title.....before export the Feds needed some proof that it was a bike build for Bonneville racing only......I asked the "BUB people" to send me a copy of the bike's entry in past events..........NO NOTHING.............My company has supported the event with dollars for many years in the sidecar classes.........one would certainly thinks that my question deserved a answer..........NO NOTHING.............................................................................

Did the BUB 2013 really happen? There may have been a few runs posted here and a bunch of pics, otherwise, zip.

There was a mention of Ack going 322. Nothing else. Did the Triumph streamliner run?

Even here there is a BUB 2012 heading. Not 2013 We did get this topic.

If you go to speedtrialsbybub.com you get "speedtrialsbybub.com/2011_event/index-2011.html"

If you go to results everything, including the page header, says 2012. Daily run logs? Not this year.

If you go to General Info the first heading "General Information" has nothing. Under "Guides, Maps, Etc." "Event Schedule" says "Coming Soon". "
Salt Conditions" says "Coming Soon"

There is a menu "Salt Conditions" and it contains an ad for a movie.

Pretty sad.

No one stepped up like we had in previous years - so that's why there wasn't a Bub's 2013 topic.  I now realise I should have put one there anyway -- and those folks out at the event would have had a place to post stuff.  Sorry.

As for the 322 run -- I heard that was the Bub #7 bike.  The Ack Attack wasn't at the Bub event.

"Pretty sad" ?  BOO hooo hooo
As a contestant at BUB this year, knowing the basic running is done with Volunteers, and the number of people actually in an office could be counted on one hand - I'd say they did the best that could be done with the available resources on hand . :cheers:  - Job well done -  Nine runs in three days wasn't all that bad for us.  People from all over the world were here this year again and it seems like most of the complaints are from west coast guys - ?

We're already making plans for next years build, and will once again have a fun week at the AMA/BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials    :-D   :cheers:
See ya there
