Just Amazing. I remember being there when Carr/Kaplan ran 300, and was stupefied that anyone could go that fast on Dirt. Just as impressed when Henry Louie went 200 on a bike. But 252? And in July? What will be the result in November?Good Heavens Man!! Hope to have enough time at the Salt to look you up and shake your hand, John.... :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Damn John thats smoking fast congratz

I am not looking to go to Bonneville for SW as I will be visiting customers and our factories in Europe however with the new bike we might make either WOS or the USFRA event.
Henry Louie was one of the reasons I got invloved in LSR..
Thank you for the kind words.

John,
You should have come down and gotten out of the fog...550+ hp, 30PSI, intercooler, and suspension..stock shock, stock front end, stock length swing arm, stock tail section and subframe, BST Carbon Fiber wheels.

Years ago when Vesco ran 190 at El Mo they told him to not come back. He was gong too fast.
Just goes to show all of us.........JN is in tight with the officials.
They congratulate HIM.
Michelle, u done a good tune up. Just don't share the secrets with John.
FREUD

great run john but the chain on the pit bike looks to be a little loose.
-
Congrats on the fast run John :cheers: Are you planning on running at the Mojave mile?
-
That could be top speed of the year!!!!!!!!!!
Unless maybe he has somthing in the bank?
Nice run John!!!!!

John,
I wanted to go faster than Fogi with his 249 two years ago, that pass was unreal and on a similar not so great course.
Sometimes the stars align, shift points are made perfect, a good tuck and a lot of luck as well.
I think there are a few records of mine that are "safe" for a little while at El Mirage, the 240 unfaired, the 218 side car and the 252 run yesterday however there are very talented racers out there that have gone much faster on pavement like Bill Warner, Shane Stubbs, Lee Shierts, Tom Cates and a few others overseas however for now I will just try to figure out how to go faster in September.

:cheers:

Max,
Thank you and I hope you are too soon realising your dream and running your twin engined steed 300 plus..just don't beat my side car speed.. :-D
Anyone know who is the guy that take the pictures from the El Mirage starting line, Not Mark Brazeau I know he has videos from the starting line however I am looking for images or down track video..
Anyone?
John

Great run John. Sorry to hear you will not be at Speed Week, we'll miss you.
Gary

John,
I'm not sure who shoots at the line. But, it might be Zane. I saw him setting up his cameras when I was putting my sleeping bag away. He does Mike Cook's websites. You may be able to get him thru Cook or there may be some contact info on Mike's sites.
BTW - Congrats on that great pass.
DW

Thanks Gary..work calls so I have to go..
Dan thank you I have sent Zane a message so we will see what he has..
Thanks again for the kind words.. :cheers:

John,
No one has worked harder for that speed than you and you did it. You went the speed and you are the MAN! You make me proud to say I know you. 252 will be a number to strive for now. On the dirt no less, Damn man, on the dirt!
I can't wait to see you again and give you a big congrats hug. Thanks for the call, it made me wet my pants when you told me.

John-
I want to offer you (another) whole hearted congrats on a great performance Sunday.
You really make all of us LSR (Bikers) proud with a great run like that.
It is a true honor for me running behind you to know that records are being made on the very ground minutes before my run.
I see a day coming when our PS bikes will be in the 300 zone soon.
Congrats on your fantastic day and smashing the record books again John.
Nice job :cheers:

John, in drag racing a lot of throttle and too much wheel spin would make a slow run. We said the run "went up in smoke." Dirt track was the same way. The person who got traction and spun the tire the least usually won. Is Elmo the same? Do you use a lot of throttle control to keep wheel spin to a minimum, or are fast times made with maximum power all of the time regardless of whether you are hooked up or not?
Congratulations on your fast time. Impressive.
-
Great speed, congratulations!
-
Dang,that is really rockin,Johnboy!!! Keep it up,brother!!

Hey John,
Just wanted to tell you great job. You seem to just keep breaking all those barriers nobody else can. I also wanted to wish you and Michele the best. You two are one of my favorite couples out on the dirt and I am honored to have both of you as friends. Congrats again John, awesome run.
You da man....

PS Thanks again for the 50 bucks....
