Dan ... ECTA runs 5 events a year in Maxton NC ... 550 miles from you ... not a bad idea to attend an event or two ...

Hello everyone,

My name is John Mitchell and I live in the UK, I help out and run a website for my brother in law Chris Chapman who races a 72 Rob North Trident T160 bored out to a 930. We have been racing for 2 seasons and Chris won the Stella Cathcart Novice of the Year Trophy for 2008.

We are big fans of early Triples and you can keep up with what we are doing in the UK at www.chrischapmanracing.co.uk

Hope you enjoy the site and we will hopefully be on the Salt for 2010......

Hi Kent

What Brit knockoffs................

Seriously though Chris picked the bike or should i say box of bit's up about 7 - 8 years ago, Sold his Hurricane to buy it.

It's an original North Frame and Engine, bike was rebuilt as a road bike and used daily for about 3 years or so then we got the racing bug, Chris does most of the prep himself but over at P&Ms shop where a lot of midnight oil is burnt.

Steve Parrish ran about 10 laps at Brands Hatch a few weeks ago and reckoned it was probably the best Brit bike he had ever ridden,

We also have a couple of guys that run a pair of ex Haylock T150 Norths see the web site for photo's they are both very quick 750s but Chris has the edge on most British circuits.

Finally I am a fan of Tom Mellor who is down on the Salt at Bub with his 69' T150 750 and he's hoping for 200 this year which would be quite an achievement for a bike running on regular gas.....

We hope to be there next year.......

Cheers

John

Hello, My name is Reed Holly.  I'm in NW Arkansas.  After years of wanting to see Bonneville, I'm on my way to the World Finals.  I have a feeling this could become an expensive hobby.

Hello. My name is Nazif Zaman.

Hi it's Jim Benning long time looker, seldom poster. Some from the list already know me as I meet up with a few of the LSR addicted during a trip to San Antonio fall. Congrats on your red hat Fred.

I have been more than casually interested in drag racing racing and LSR for years. Spent a decade in auto parts business and worked a couple of years at Kenz and Leslie in Denver looking at the K&L streamliner everyday when it was parked in their warehouse. Left the automotive business for graphic design and photography but always stayed interested in cars and racing as a spectator.

Now days I do my racing on a bicycle and on a good day I top out a little above 1/2 hp. Have made a couple of trip to Bonneville to photograph and was planning on speed week this year but other plans intervened. I will be at WOS in a next week and may try to add on a visit to El Mirage the weekend before to photograph.

Looking forward to sun, salt and seeing all the people and their cars.

Jim, welcome to the forum. My 1st trip to the salt was 1953 and the K & L liner was the first one I took a picture of. Bill, Roy and Willie were  a cool bunch of racers.
