Your FIRST TIME, your BEST TIME, and your NEXT TIME!
« on: September 09, 2009, 10:48:26 AM »
This month we asked land speed racers to share with us their First run down the salt, their Best run, and what they hope to achieve on their Next run. Click on the link to read their stories.

Enjoy the ride...

I'm bettin' the online bike mag that Rocky writes for doesn't GAS about roadsters....  lakesters... or any of the other vehicles with more than 3 wheels :-D  However, it sounds like a great thread for this forum. 
Ryan, you may start the festivities...  8-)

Added... and he did so it was moved to a new topic, Your Bonneville Story... to not clutter Rocky's thread, so now all us 4 wheelers have the opportunity to tell our story like Ryan did to start it off... GAS ( Give a Shit)

Unfortunately, MotorcycleUSA only wants my two-wheeled stuff. I had a lot of great stuff from last years Shootout, Main/Poteet running 386 and shredding a front tire, tossing on a new one and going right back, Burkland running over 400 mph and almost not getting her stopped in time to merge onto HWY 80, etc.

I enjoy it all, but am trying to fill a niche market with this column. Hope you stop by and have a look, no matter how many wheels it takes to get you there!  :wink:

If you like two, three and four wheels - get a membership in the Speed Record Club - there you get a quarterly magazine - and my article about Speedweek/World of Speed/World Final - with lots of picture. For the BUB, normally Gabriel Uttley or Mike Stanton takes care for the article.

The magazine shows not only the speed issues on land, but also on water and in the air. Part of the magazine are articles about earlier historie, the coming future and models.
And as a member you can show your on activities in the magazine - therefore is a special member page
