Motorcycle Streamliners at the Shootout

[Freud]

I agree completely. I met him at Barbers Motorsport Park at a Ducati event several years ago.

Class all the time.

That little Triumph liner in the middle looks tiny in comparison to the new one.  Will you be running it at BUB in 2015?

Hey I like that little Triumph liner!

News just out that Triumph will be running a Triumph powered streamliner at BUB and maybe the shootout.
Two Rockett Three motors with turbos. They have been working on it for a while. Jason DiSalvo will be the rider. I will try to post some photos soon.
Here is link to some information.

I hope those 2 do well at BUB.  TheN a few weeks later Ack and Sam Wheeler will joing the fray at the COOK Land Speed Challenge.  Even if either one sets a new record it will be challenged immediately....FUN!!

Meet Jason again.

Pretty bold claim for a bike that has not recorded an official time as of yet(published).

Wake me when they exceed 376 MPH.

That's the way I also see it, Dan.

Who is Rocky Duke?

[JoshH]

Well at least they got his first name right...

The only thing I found interesting was the claim this thing is already on the salt. With that driver compartment (composite roll structure) they won't be running anything but a private event.

[Chris V]

anybody know what Cook's may be charging spectators entering the salt at the boat ramp?  Sandy "Vetter Velocity" 3 records at BUB

[trimmers]

As I recall, the Shootout has always been free for spectators.

Does anyone know if Triumph will be attending the Top Speed Shootout with their Streamliner???

Neither Mike cook or I have heard anything from them regarding the Shootout. 

There is no charge to spectate.

There will be a 3 minute video recap of the daily events that will be avalible on the Internet.
