A father and daughter race team make history at Bonneville. Another fun Bonneville Story. :cheers:

During the 8th Annual BUB Bonneville Speed Trials Jody Perewitz became the first woman to break the 200 MPH barrier on an American V-Twin
The bike is a complete custom built Perewitz Cycle Fabracting using a Daytec frame and a Jim’s 100 cubic inch engine assembled by R&R Cycles and tuned by Dan Thayer.
With the help of an Intercooled B-1 ProCharger Supercharger this small engine combination pushes over 200 rear wheel horsepower.
During her five mile Bonneville run she had a top speed of over 205 MPH and an average of 203.111 one way. Weather and an unrelated technical issue conspired to keep her from backing up the speed, but still new records were established and the team is hungry to go even faster in 2012.

It was great watching her slowly work her way up to 200 mph at Bubs last year. Hope she does even better this year!!

Perewitz team offered us their mig welder at Bonneville to weld up the turbo exhaust we broke. Good people.

Thanks guys! I have a HUGE grin to see my name on a thread!
We can't wait to get back on the salt. We have done some small changes to the bike. We dyno'd it a month or two ago and got over 230hp's out of a 100" engine!! :-D

This is a case of salt fever and a wonderful memory for the whole team. Today motorcycle are a very large part of LSR and are a class act. :cheers:
