Los Angeles Times Article
« on: March 04, 2006, 11:43:06 AM »
From Friday's Los Angeles Times, Motor Racing column:
Quote
A group of U.S. motorcycling veterans hopes to set a land-speed record for a motorcycle with an attempt Monday in Australia. The current record is 322.149 mph set in 1991, according to the group, which is led by designer Mike Akatiff and includes rider Sam Wheeler.
The team?s vehicle ? a 900 horsepower motorcycle encased in a streamlined shell ? set an unofficial record of 328.3 mph in October 2004, at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.


Quite a shock to see anything land speed related in the newspaper.

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

TOP OIL hired a PR firm. That's how there is as much available as there is. Now all they need is to get the water off the Salt. 3" of rain could be a problem.

That is just about as close as you might expect a PR firm to get and the readership will be unlikely to know the difference but we do.
