2014 Pre-Entry
« on: March 31, 2014, 11:13:58 AM »
Tomorrow is my wife's birthday :wink:................that means pre-entry should be open in about 2-3 weeks.  This year I plan to enter 2 bikes.......my Tiger Cub will have a new ignition system........and the 2nd bike will be entered in the 750cc Modified Classic class. We have a lot to accomplish but have a good start and so far on schedule. :-) :-) :-)

Hopefully this will be the year for the stream-liners 8-) 8-) 8-)

Posted yesterday on their FB page.

"Pre-entry will be open Mid April. We're redesigning our website and getting all the behind-the-scenes items done for you! Go work on your bikes and we'll get the paperwork done soon!"

Make sure to reread the supplimental regulations again,there was some changes in Feb that may effect your class.

Both the website and the Facebook site say they are having delays getting their registration software to work on the website. Seems pretty straightforward to get that going but I don't know any details about what the problem is.

Reg now open. Evidently discount rate is only good for a week tho.

Also new logo...minus the Bub name.

"Registration is open! Check out our new page, our new name and our new logo....
For ONE WEEK ONLY we are holding pre-entry at last year's prices (discount automatic at checkout)."

I see -- no mention of Bub or Bub's.  That might just imply that Denis Manning has pulled out of the event, hunh?  If so -- that's a shame.  He did get it started and going, and evidently did so well enough that someone felt it worthy of continuing even without him.

Worse still - I took a quick look through the new site and didn't see anything that told me that this is the same event as the bub's was.  No "Attention Racers:  this is what you've been calling the Bub's meet for years" and not even  a "Thanks to Denis Manning and Bub's for getting this fun and important event going".

Ah, well, we do know who to thank for coming up with the plan, don't we?

And the new group is called - - Deliciate?  Delicate I've heard of, but delicitate (one extra "i") sure sounds like a name made up sorta to cornfuse folks.  That's my opinion, of course.  You'e welcome to state your own.  No flaming, please. :-D

AS SIMPLE AS 1-2-3

1. Delvene has purchased the event.
 
2. It is moving forward with a new name and logo.

3. Same location, dates, and workers; which includes
the same old bib overall wearing technical steward.

I can't speak for others, but for myself I'm very excited.

PRAY FOR GREAT WEATHER, AND GREAT SALT!!  :-D

P.S.
"Deliciate" it is one of those unused words; which can still be found in the dictionary.
"To delight one's self. To revel."
And, in this case, to happily revel in the world of motorcycle landspeed racing
at the greatest place on earth. The Bonneville Salt Flats.

See everyone in August.

Over and Out.

Great word, Drew.  Thanks for explaining it.  Normally I'd be the first one to the dictionary, but here it looked so much like a mere typo that I didn't look it up.

Corngratulations and best wishes to Delvene and all the folks that'll be on the salt for the motorcycle-only event.

I can't open that site with my government computer - says it violates policy. My question is if this is still an AMA event and are the rules, records, etc still the same as it was for the BUB event?

The site opens with:

"Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, The AMA Land Speed Grand Championships, is the premier motorcycle land speed racing event. This AMA and FIM sanctioned event offers AMA national and FIM world record opportunities.  Contenders in many classes, including streamliners biding for the absolute world record, will be there. Everyone can have a shot at the course. You can ‘Run Watcha Brung’ or take a shot at records!"

I'll be there with two bikes in 3-classes...................AMA only..............but getting ready. And my PIT-CREW seems to be growing with heightened interest from potential new competitors.

My guess is a major sponsor could re-name the event.................or not.
