« on: December 16, 2005, 12:47:35 AM »
I have read a posting on the DLRA site , about the BUB event , the author  was Borris Murry ( WOW what a rider ) and one of his statements  instantly go my attention,  his statement  "anything can run no matter what!the fastest time turned by anything recieves $10,000" is this true ?? I hope so  :D  I would be very interested in doing this event  if the above statement is true  ,and so would others down here  :wink:

Tell him to "bring it" it would be great to have others show up from around the world, the $ 10,000.00 was for 5K for the fastest "open" bike and 5K for the fastest time of the meet, usually a streamliner (Sam) however on the shorter course an "open" bike was a little faster .... :wink:  remind him it must fit a class, pass tech and be piston powered.... :wink:

Shows the 2005 pay-outs and for what.  

You can email BUB and ask about bringing a dustbin/aero unit, maybe for the "Run What You Brung" class.  The worst that can happen is they say no.
