If only those with serious possibility of running record ran. The SCTA would go broke. And nobody would be able to run.

This is true. And I will add to the that by saying that "most" participants are not competitive for records either. 90 percent of the records are set by 10 percent of the people. Just please don't have me sitting in my car behind a van that I think has one bike in it and then pull out 4!
NOT only YES but hockey sticks yes Rich Fox is spot on
Choppie I am not with you on this----those bikes paid the same fee as you and you had to move up 3 less times, and you wait will be way less than if they were cars you had to wait to run
I got to make the 300 line this year! One of my personal lsr goals,

I thought you just had to make a run over 300 to get in the 300 line.
Do you have to hold a record over 300?

Ahh, Philosophy . . . the academic's bench-racing.
In my case, it's not about me - it's about the car.
The only reason I had a record in my name is because the fellow I wanted to have drive it couldn't attend the event.
For me, it's about building the vehicle to take on the record.

I raced at Bonneville for 22 years... before I made my first pass... getting there, being part of it is a very cool deal. It is on a lot of gearhead's bucket list to just attend... we are the folks that are doing it and keeping it going.
It is human nature to want to win... but it is also human nature to want to be part of something bigger... every runner cannot win the Boston Marathon... but they all try and talk about doing it...
Racing Bonneville is like that... we all want to win, or at least try, even if we know it will only be our personal best... it tests you and your machine... getting the best from both :wink:
The USFRA has made it possible for anyone with a car or bike to make a pass via the 130 MPH Club... I encourage all to try that... there are no records, just gaining entry to the Club... and your chance to run on the world famous Bonneville Salt Flats on the cheap.
It is a gateway to the affliction.... :cheers:
Brother Thomas,
I remember from your rookie run to your record run how fast you progressed and how hard you worked to get to the next license.
:cheers:
Found the Speed Record Club and edition 87 of Fast Facts is there. At work so I cant read the articles just now. :-D
