Two more. 

Well...I just don't know what to say...except that they musta got that seal awful drunk to get her to give her approval to that.

Thai Willie's recumbent GXR-powered bike.  He spent a long time explaining his handling problems (instability at 150 and above) and telling me the plans for next year, which include going to a "Can-Am" two-wheeled front end and redistribution of the bike's weight to put more on the rear wheel.  I also found out that it doesn't have handlebars nor steering wheel, but uses a joystick steering controller.  Sounds like something Big Daddy Roth might have cooked up.

I'm gonna head for the staging lanes after I get a bite of lunch.

As I was about to head off for lunch, I noticed a pretty good example of a P-PP bike...a Honda that looks like a Moto Guzzi.

Then I'd posted something on Facebook about the ERC guys having the best t-shirts at the salt flats meets and got a question about getting the shirts online.  I looked up their site: http://www.ercracingfuels.com/ and didn't see anything, so I asked and was told that if ya call 'em, they'll make sure ya get a shirt (you'll probably have to pay for 'em tho.   :-D)

And as I was gettin ready to post this, Wobbly Walrus drove up with his bike on a trailer and told me that he'd bumped his own FIM record to somewhere around 130.  Way to go!

Ohh... thought I saw Max Lambky's liner heading down the track as I was asking about the t-shirts...looks like they got it back together and are running again...but I think they ran it on the Mountain course, which is a whole lot smoother than the International course.

I just met Rizzi and her Dad ... She thanked me for being "her soldier", saluted and presented me with a coin that states that.
