Super Streetbike Top Speed Challenge
« on: December 11, 2006, 09:53:25 AM »
Hey, hey, hey!  My brand-new Joe Rocket jacket arrived today, along with a couple of embroidered patches, proclaiming that I won my class in the Top Speed Challenge at Maxton this past September.  Dang, nice jacket for a 31-mph putt-putt down the track on our pit bike.

Thanks to everyone that made this possible (by NOT bringing your GSXR-600 or ZX-6R or R6 to the party) as well as the ECTA for hosting the event, and Super StreetBike magazine/Don Smith for promoting it.

Maybe next year a few more folks will enter in the "lower" classes. . .

He would have gone faster but those size 14 boots looked like canards on an airplane. Maybe he was using them for traction control. :roll:

Yeah Glen(lmao).. I think if he placed his legs correctly over the bars he may be able to run them as a fairing without actually having to enter a PS class? As Paul Batts always says.. "Flaps Up"!
Heard rumor Slim may try spraying it(can of starter fluid) or a 2 stage turbo(Nancy's hi and low hairdryer) next year....  just an FYI for those working on their 600's this winter.

Where  he lives a jacket is very important.

31.3 mph.   Well, if it were easy anyone could do it.  Rumor has it that Jon (Slim) is the acting president of the newly formed 20 MPH club.  He is also the first member of their 30 MPH Chapter.  First order of business is to pick a color for the official hat . . . .  the second item on the agenda is to set MAXIMUMS for the class records. 

Stay warm Jon.  Your winters may to cold but your summers are really nice  All three days are sunny . . . . . .

     Being a M/C deal, just GOTTA have another class :wink:

     What's next?  Something like the old field meet deal sitting at the start line on a Bimmer with the front wheel cocked sideways waiting for the clock to run out?  :-D
