Tip 'o the hat to Ross Powers
2 new records
And bumped his own "ink still wet" record this morning .
Yes, he rides a Sportster,  his own turbo build.

Well done sir.

The SCTA / BNI page does not list results from this meet just yet.  Being the impatient type I'm wondering how Ed U in the Chop Shop streamliner did? 

Thx.
