OK lets get excited. Before you know it September will be here. Plan on driving up from Scottsdale to up my 150 club speed. What is everyone else up to? Love to hear all your builds and comments.
No trailer ran 135mph at the World of Speed 2011 see you in 2012 in Ohio and back at Bonneville at the world of speed going for the 150club 1979 Firebird T/A White . Ck out YOU TUBE. KERRY AT BONNEVILLE. Didn't  make 2012,2013,2014. ECTA in Ohio 2012 trans went out and 2013 fuel problems . Still trans and fuel problems. Finally all looks good. Ready to drive (no trailer) 1500 miles to Bonneville and It's cancelled. NEXT YEAR. SEPT. ECTA RAN 144 MPH. GETTING BETTER. 2021 Ran 152 fulfilled a ten year dream to make the 150 club. 2024 ran 163 on GPS backed off going thru timing lights.

Looking forward to running World of Speed. Hopefully we will be able to run this year. Bike has been ready to go for the last 2 years but the salt hasn't been.

 Hi all, hope all's well ! Wondering if there is anybody planning on attending the 2024 T&T in June that might have an extra live body available? I MIGHT need a recovery truck driver/belt up helper. I have a commitment from my nephew, but just found out he's having a baby (well NOT him  :-D ) and I am not so certain he will be able to make it. It is hard for most people to take T&T and WOS in the same year. My regular teammates may try to make it but unsure at this point. Hit me up if there is anybody interested. Thanks and fingers crossed for great salt. Have a safe spring! :cheers:

That's a real compliment coming from you Sparky since you're every bit as sick as I am M8! :-D

Morning Sid, I met you a couple years back at WOS if my old memory is still functioning. I was based out of Eugene Or at the time but now I am happily based about 500+ miles north of you ,by the Idaho panhandle. Little burg called Troy ,Mt about as west as you can get in Montana . Looking at a map , you are real close to the salt, I'm jealous but wouldn't trade where we are for anything. We don't even have a traffic light  lol8 I will definitely keep in touch as we get closer , I should have a firm idea if my nephew will actually make it by then. But even if he does, if it's ok with you and your crew, I'd still like to pit near you and immerse him in LSR ! And probably learn a lot of ........ stuff. Thanks for you reply , looking forward to a great year  :cheers: :cheers:

Looking forward to World of Speed this year. One question, are there people around who might be able to help out? I may be flying solo this year due to son having a new job so he may not be able to go this time. I don't want him to jeopardize his new job just to help me go fast.

Anybody driving in from Arizona. Would love to caravan with them. Looking forward to September.
