Well Brother Lou has cranked out another Bonneville Story -
Here is a fun short video that I hope picks up your day.
Bonneville Stories Part XII has been released on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6B1-ZWC8qI&feature=player_embedded Speedy – the World’sFastest Stuffed Gerbil
James and Alan Rice are owners of ChronoLogic Timing, a tiny company that makes high precision clocks and other devices for racing. They are also engineers, belly tank racers, world explorers, major players in historic speed events, and owners of the world’s fastest stuffed gerbil, “Speedy.”
His position as timing stand mascot has allowed “Speedy” to go for world record setting rides with the likes of
Andy Green and the World’s Fastest Diesel and Tom Burkland in the World’s Fastest Piston-Automobile.
So far, “Speedy” has only been on one World Record Motorcycle ride with John Noonan when he set the FIM
open wheel record but his caretakers, Alan and James, are looking for more world record
motorcycle rides for him to go on.
As gerbils go, Speedy is delightful. He is completely housebroken, a sharp dresser, polite, and a charming
raconteur. He can, however, be a bragging name dropper if allowed. He has been on adventures around the
world from China to Tunisia and raced at Talladega Speedway. He has ridden shotgun in a Humvee in Iraq,
gone 822 mph in a rocket, been caving in Belize and has been north of the Arctic Circle. Speedy has met
Stephen Hawking and don’t get him started on the women he dates. I suppose if anyone
has earned the right to brag … it is Speedy, the world’s fastest stuffed gerbil.
