The roadster picture does not show up unless you are logged in. It was not that way before the crash. Does that means Guests cannot see the roadster picture that Grumpy32 posted?

Any reason why? Or is it just my machine?

Stainless,

Not a problem for me to stay logged in.  1drink

I am just wondering if people who are not registered and come as guests to read and view pictures, might have the same problem since they are not registered therefore cannot log in?

Thanks,

Just introducing myself.
My name is Chris Tarling and I am a full-time photographer based in the UK.
I am planning on attending Speed Week in 2021 as a working trip to capture (some of) the stories of those who have battle the salt.
I'm particularly interested in finding out about UK based teams that will be there this year.
My plan is to attend the whole event and intensively photograph the action both in the pits and on the 'track'
Thanks  :|

Howdy, Chris.  Best wishes for a great trip.  I'll say it before anyone else - You'll be wise to contact JoAnn Carlson at the SCTA office.  She's the media liaison (as well as damn near every other job) for the group, and she's the one that'll get you the credentials and safety-green vest (etc) you'll be needing. 

JoAnn:    office@scta-bni.org

See you on the salt, Chris!

Just got my rule book. Planning on getting out to the salt in a couple of years from now. So, I have plenty of time to set things up; although, I do have a bunch of questions, even after reading the book. I have a 2018 Harley Davidson Road King. After market exhaust, seat and badging removed. Engine is stock displacement of 107"/1753cc. Aftermarket cam, lifters and pushrods. I want to enter during Speed Week. I have been considering modifying displacement to 124"/2032cc or 128"/2097cc. Originally, I wasn't thinking of a record run. I just wanted to run the salt and experience Speed Week. As the months move from one to the next and having, once again, watched "The Worlds Fastest Indian," perhaps a record attempt would be the way to go. After looking at the class designations, I think that I would be better off with the 117"/1917cc option.

Also, I am in need of recommendations for steering damper and belt guard options.
I want to thank all of you for keeping this legacy alive.

Thank You,
Ralph

Ralph, you didn't mention where you are located.... someone in your area might be good to talk to....
If I read my book correctly M pushrod gas under 2L is a 171ish with or without a fairing...
Above 2L under 3L looks like 154ish with a fairing... and whatever you run without one... Bigger motors don't always go faster, but.... how fast do you want to go...
