Anatomy of a Streamliner

« on: February 24, 2010, 09:56:34 AM »

Brother Lou put this together it has some great stills as well as some real action shots from the Cook meet last fall.

A supremely talented and self-taught designer and fabricator, Denis Manning has devoted his life to pursuing the motorcycle land-speed record and his innovative streamliners have succeeded on more .

So who do you think should be next in line for Bonneville Stories ? Let Lou know at Loufischer@Thynk.com or Lou.fischer@comcast.net
Something tells me that Sam Wheeler may be next ?
Enjoy - and kindly leave a comment -

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Nice video. It is not easy putting all those years into 10 minutes of video.

Since my experience of salt racing is brief, I enjoyed seeing the progression of cycles and liners as his building improved and seeing the speeds as they went up over the years. It was a good summary of the mph growth chart up to the present 372 mph. How far away is the big 400?

Good people like Denis Manning draw good people to salt racing. cheers
