Belen Wagner is quite a tall woman.  But then I'm a short guy, so most women look tall to me.  She got going after a bit of a push start from her crew.

The young lady in the yellow/black leathers (Karena Markham) waited patiently for one heck of a long time...but she was delighted to be one of the first to run in the morning air tomorrow.  Her top speed so far has been 58 mph.  Not bad for something sold in scooter shops.  She'd be tickled pink (or yellow) with a 60 mph run. 

That's it for tonite.  I'm gonna take my insanity defense and put it to bed.

G'nite.

SO far my good friend,Greg Watters has fastest passes,yesterday ran 209 on short course after rain closed the long one. Geared too high. Today ran 218 on his 750,spinning through the lack of traction in the measured mile.
All speeds are down at this meet.
I ran a 189 on the naked 750,spinning quite a bit.
And no tire issues on either of our bikes running z rated street tires!

...This has to be one of the strangest bikes on the salt.  250cc....something...

That brilliant contraption is made, and run, by none other than our very own
 WhizzbangKC

The Woody Woodpickers delight:





Ed let me sit erhhh...in(?)...on(?)...it. Not bad at all. The black thingy down by where your feet are
is the gear lever. Kick it right or left and that's the gear shift.

Fantastic !



Lars,  Any news on how Ed ran?  He liked my sidecar and based his design loosely on it.  I've been itchin' to know how he ran.

Thanks, Kent. 

It's another day in the neighborhood...65F, winds 8-10 mph and clear (but dark) skies.  I got up early so I can show up for Denis' track-driving party. 

More news as it happens.

Quick update as I fight the Android tethering internet connection.  We ran the wheel packing convoy through 7 miles of the International course.  That went smoothly.  Then the mandatory rider's meeting...basically what most folks figgered, emphasizing the restrictions on pit bikes. 

Then bikes were released to wherever they were supposed to be ans timed runs commenced.  Karena Markham was the first on the Int'l course on her little scooter-like thing.  I didn't get a speed, but I'll ask around.  Several other bikes that were "leftovers" from yesterday made their runs and then the Motoczysz electric bike made a run.  Went smoothly and I heaard a speed of 151 mph.  That thing is way too quiet. 

Fotos soon.
