On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

How did they do that? MKM Racing Promotions is Mike Keith and Marsha in partnership. MKM were instrumental in enabling the Primetime LSR team to run on Highway 93A south of Wendover. Mile Borders is ex USAF and was posted to England during his period in the forces, so we got on very well during '04 to '06. Mike manages a tight road racing organisation business out of Vegas so it will be a combination of professionalism, knowing folk and selling a deal that sets up the mile shoot out. Just don't sit at the poker table with either Mike or Marsha. His organisation website is www.openroadracing.comMalcolm UK It was Ed Van Scoy (of Vette fame) who put is in contact four years ago. |

My guess is that some general saw the video of Jason Mcvickr's crash that some idiot posted on u-tube and decided he didn’t want a similar horrible thing to happen on his watch.... We already know that the military doesn’t care for bikes, that’s why they make ‘em do all kinds of special training and make ‘em where special orange colored safety vests…. Now throw in a video of a high speed bike crash.!… yep makes ya wonder why huh.?… Oh! hey, do ya think the underwriter and higher ups for the SCTA’s insurance company have seen the video yet? Yep, really makes ya wonder if whoever posted that video really thought what kind or repercussions might come of it….

Hey guys some of you get a bike only meeting on the salt once a year - dont have a dig if 'you are too fast to race'.
As to who knows whom - why not ask Mike Borders himself?
I got access to RAF/USAF Fairford airfield after 27 years with full insurance etc for a single team and few spectators, The guards there had automatic weapons cocked and loaded! But I found the right people over here to talk to Whitehall and to the Pentagon and Washington
Mike must be just a little bit better than me after we collaborated on his fiorst exposure to LSR in 2004/2005.

If you plan on attending - you better get your paperwork in in a hurry. You will be put through a security check! No last minute deciding you want to attend - run or even watch!
Mike runs a good open road race event - a bit pricey - but descent - just too straight and boring for my tastes!

The Military already has way too may Bikers maimed and killed on bikes because of testosterone and beer---do not want to plant any more ideas of going that fast on a military instalation---just my guess!!!!!!!!!!!
