THE BODY IS LONG ENOUGH AND THE WEIGHT IN THE FRONT KEPT IT ON THE SALT. CLIFF SAID THE ONLY HARD PART WAS KEEPING THE REAR END HOOKED UP, BUT THAT THE FRONT HANDLED WELL. HE ALSO SAID JUST A TOUCH OF THE HANDLEBARS WOULD MOVE THE BIKE TWO FEET.
HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE COCKPIT TO REVIEW.

THE "7070" STREAMLINER IS ON THE SALT AT BUB. MONDAY THE WIND WAS UP AND THE BEST SPEED WAS IN THE HIGH 170'S. THE WIND WAS STILL UP THIS MORNING BUT HOPING FOR IT TO DIE DOWN, SO A GOOD RUN CAN BE MADE.

Hello, Kiriakai.  Why are you shouting at us?  Please consider using the "caps lock" button to bring your font back to normal.

Best luck to Cliff and Jack, though -- Cliff was one of the first racers to help us out -- during our first-ever visits to Bonneville.  We've enjoyed watching him and his adventures.  Then there's Jack. . .

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.

Earlier I incorrectly put in the Team Bullett web site address. Sorry! the correct address is www.teambullett.com. It will open in caps or small letters - then click on the red arrow at the bottom for the presentation to begin, or you can click on any of the menu items at the top.... under the News & Contacts is a great video put together by a friend of Cliff's. Kurtis Nason, who did a great job blending music with old and new photos to cover the quest for speed over the past century plus..... I think he did a great job....
I am including additional photos from tech inspection at Speed Week for you to review.

Latest update - it rained on the courses last night - and the wind did not completely dry them out..... so it has been a wait and see kind of day.... the non-streamliners have tried running and apparently are having to coast the last mile as the track is "slime"....
It is warming up, so they are going to try and let a few more go, and see if the track dries out enough to run....
With this liner, it is less than 1" clearance from the body to the bottom of the front tire, so it needs to be dry of the liner will literally plow itself in....
We will advise if they were able to get in any kind of runs today.....

Very well turned-out website.  Ambitious project.  I noted that all of the engines are Yamaha...is Yamaha a sponsor?
