Bill,
I'm in Valparaiso, IN. Two guys close run roadsters and one a 200 mph Mitchabitchee Eclipse. We try to get together on Thursday nights. Let me know if you can make it and I'll let you know where. 219-299-8398.

It's the southern brogue that makes it look different to you, Grainger I mean Gregg.  I've heard it pronounced MITT soob She.  I think Mitchabitchee Eclipse is better.  Thanks, Terry 8-)

Bill,
I just noticed your location is 15 mi. east of downtown Chicago. That's a long swim to Indiana.  :-P

We've got racers here in Milwaukee - Racine.  Bertil Sollenskog in Lake County raced a SAAB for years - he unfortunately passed a few years back, but if you were to draw a 100 mile circle around Chicago, you'd find more of us than you'd think.

Sometimes when you neglect to fill in the location in your profile Slim does it for you. It's his way of getting you to complete it correctly. I think that's probably what happened.  :-D :-D :-D

 I'm in the middle of the "Big D". So, No... It won't happen for a while. I've got an old Triumph T65 in a "Bobber. I hate saying that because it's such a common thing now a days. I'm ready to yank that sucker out of there. I've chatted with Bill Anderson a couple of time who was very generous enough to send me pictures of his sidecar Weslake bike during it's build. I like that I can make it as simple or complicated as I want. I'm a plumber by trade so I'll definitely go SIMPLE....

There are a few of us here just below the "Cheddar Curtain".

60046 is my home, pretty far from the SE burbs.

I've been into LSR ever since I read about Al Teague. 2011 drove to Bonneville made the 130 club. One of the best times ever. Have been racing ECTA in Ohio since. Last year I was to return to Bonneville for 150 club rained out. Drove to Ohio last weekend ran 144.2 with loose rocker arm and low fuel pressure. As always fixed car in rest area. Have hotel reservations for Sept but will have to wait another year no time. Love to talk. 847-298-4933
No trailer ran 135mph at the World of Speed 2011 see you in 2012 in Ohio and back at Bonneville at the world of speed going for the 150club 1979 Firebird T/A White . Ck out YOU TUBE. KERRY AT BONNEVILLE. Didn't  make 2012,2013,2014. ECTA in Ohio 2012 trans went out and 2013 fuel problems . Still trans and fuel problems. Finally all looks good. Ready to drive (no trailer) 1500 miles to Bonneville and It's cancelled. NEXT YEAR. SEPT. ECTA RAN 144 MPH. GETTING BETTER. 2021 Ran 152 fulfilled a ten year dream to make the 150 club.
