"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.

OK -- I were rong.
The coupe was pre-entered at SW -- see program. In the program picture it was a 5-window. the one at El Mirage is a sedan delivery(?) -- or modified top.

I didn't know that streamlining was allowed on the hood sides in Gas Coupe(?).

Gotta give it up to John Noonan, that man can ride a motorcycle. I ain't never seen anybody that can ride a bike like this guy. Valentino Rossi could learn a few things from John. I don't know how he does it. Just an amazing pass. Talked to him a few moments before he was ready to go, into a pure dust cloud that was sitting on the top end and going nowhere. He was a vision of confidence when he told the starter " yea , I'll go , and be safe, no problem". And let me tell you, if you wern't there, he found pretty much no traction that I could tell. It was all throttle control and probley a little weight shifting around on the bike all the way down. I am so amazed at his skill.

You also gotta love the Lefevers family, those boys , guided by there dad , are doing really well , and getting that hot rod down the coarse. Mike knows how to build some big H.P. and when he thinks the boys are ready , just my guess , we will see some big numbers from those boys. Great car , great people.

John, Gas Coupes are like Street Roadsters with similar rules. How many Street Roadsters have stock louvers side panels on their hoods. One difference is a Gas Coupe must have a stock hood length where a Street Roadster can have a specified inch extention. Amereican Austins are very hard to work with.........JD

Thank you for the info, do you think that the course conditions kept you guys from getting the record?
John
John, I want to think that BUT...... after you go out and spin the tire s in every gear...... run on the limiter...... and go 248...... WTF do I know.....  Good job man! Thank you..we tried a few different things hoping to keep a decent starting position and never thought we could run that number on Gas on that course..special thanks to Subaki for making a great chain to drive the front wheel as well since that is legal at this time. John 2 WHEEL drive? is it similar to dirt bike 2 wheel drive systems? How about some pics Your not yanking our chain are you  JL222 |
