I also run a small magazine called "Brit Chopper" (cars, rods & bikes) so if you have anything remotely interesting, email me. It's A4 full colour and we're always looking for features.

And it is a pretty hip site, too, I might add.  Sending you a PM.

Hello all, not a racer here just a volunteer on the starting line at Maxton. I couldn't make it this weekend, so I'm living it vicariously here. Thanks!!! Oh yeah, my names Matt, and I live in NW Ga.

If it wasn't for the volunteers the racers wouldn't be racing at safe, properly organized events and there wouldn't be properly recorded records to challenge. Don't ever underestimate the value of being a volunteer.

Sumo here reporting for duty - Desperate sent me a link - cant believe i didnt find it myself

im a certified panther nut . renowned for being slow, sidecar - hauling engines i thought it would be a perfect lump to make fast[ish] so im building one to drag over there to the salt. i dont know of a panther ever racing at bonneville but if anyone does please let me know. just to make my life more interesting im doing a twin engine panther with a supercharger. using a harley box and keeping the electric boot on it.

had a few setbacks but ive got my new frame man booked in for next month and then im onto it proper again.

all told im just another fool that loves old bikes and messing with them.

Welcome Sumo!
There are a couple Panther's in my local vintage bike club.
Keep us updated with your project.

Hiya Sumo. Did Oz mention beer?

[wobblywalrus]

Sumo, I love Panthers too, but associating the words "Panther" and "speed" is a new idea.  This looks like a great build.  Show some pix when it comes together.   

[SUMO]

ive had an honest 70 [sat nav speedo] out of a bone stock m100 so they arent quite as bad as they have a press for being [ok tail wind down hill and all the other cliches.] i figure lob a couple together, throw a supercharger at it and see what blows up first... im looking at doing a reasonable amount of engine work but need to keep them reliable... what could possibly go wrong 

and yes despot - i do believe beer was mentioned

Hey Matt--sorry we missed you. Hardly any rain, but one long oil-down at the end saturday & in the middle of sunday. Know you didn't miss those. Gonna make it next month? -ken

Hi,
I'm Rick and I have a car, and now salt, addiction.

I'm based out of Zurich in Switzerland, race semi-pro GT's in Europe (Le Mans cars and the like) and have been recently getting into historics. Got a couple of old old Aston Martins in restoration. (Db2 and a Db2/4).

First love was always Porsches and currently I have a couple of 911's and 4*924 turbos... (although as with all car collections only the 2 911's actually run! Everything else is a "project".... the 924's being turned into historic rally cars for example.

Last summer I made the mistake of visiting Speed Week (!). And now I have a proper salt problem. So I am looking for a race car and team Stateside for me to run with in 2010 or 2011 with a view to getting back to the Salt as a driver.

Been lurking on here a long time, great site, keep up the good work guys.
Cheers
Rick
