Its still FIM AND AMA but no longer referred to as BUB ( BIG UGLY BASTERED ) it is now run by Delvene and the event is now called BONNEVILLE MOTORCYCLE SPEED TRIALS. Or  BEVILL RACING. Joe Terrise SP? owned the Easy Rider magazine and got the liner from BOB GEORGE the builder of the bike under a strange circumstance. Joe ask for donations in his rag and it has been said HE received 250,000 and put the names of the contributors on the liner, as I understand it JOE let the contributors know immediately when the 322 record was set, of course it was stated pending ratification.  Dave Campos in the year of 2002 was the back up rider for Don Vesco who was the primary rider of my streamliner. Vesco that year showed up late at SPEED WEEK , if I remember it had something to do with the drive shafts on the TURBINATER. So Dave was the MAN that year. The whole story of the EASY RIDER STREAMLINER cant be told here.

I guess maybe youse who use Facebook haven't even noticed.  A few days ago I started up a landracing.com Facebook page.  First of all - notice that there's a "landracing" page -- that ain't ours.  Ours is landracing.com.  Big difference.

Anyway, I'm trying to get a little better at using and posting on it.  I've managed to harvest a few photos and such -- and will be able to do more once I'm out there in person.  You're all welcome to use it, too.

Take a look at the landracing.com FB page and tell me what you think.  Thanks, hey?

Hey Slim- I see you put the link in the SCTA FB link I put up. How about changing the title to just Facebook Links or something like that. Since FB is becoming more used here, thought having the links direct rather than buried in other threads for those of us not on Fb was good idea.

Good idea, that why we only have to go to landracing.com.

I'm getting there, I'm getting there.  This is all new to me, remember.  And right now I'm pouring melted paraffin into the jars of raspberry jam that I made the other day.

Okay - as soon as I can I'll put up a FB-type topic.  By the way -- I do have the link right on the top of the home page already. :-D

Yep - I do have things to keep me occupied.  On to the FB page:

Please consider using it for whatever you want, but remember that it is an adjunct to the Forum and the rest of landracing.com.  that is -- FB is fine for a quick photo or a comment -- the Forum is for things where lots of photos (build diaries, etc) should be.  Long discussions - like aero stuff or comparing your way of welding the cage to the other guy's way -- Forum.  Whoo-hoo, somebody just ran a 348.421 on a pushrod 100cc bike?  Facebook.

I'll do what I can to keep both of them pertinent and up to date.  You do that too, please.

I have been on the Home page, actually about 5 times  and it's still is not there on www.landracing.com,

Are we talking about the same site? I did fine Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, What I am saying that there should be a direct link to FaceBook on the home page if one going to use FB, my opinion is that we have been using landracing.com for over 10 years for updates why change anyway if one can get on FB they can surely get on landracing.com But I can see there might be reason for more than one why to communicate.
