My name is Daniel Shuken, I live in Fresno CA.  My first trip to the Salt was in 1995 when I was 13 years old.  When I was 16, I got my D license in Gregg Carlson's C/GR.  In 2008, I opened Shuken Racing Fabricaton.  Later that year, I completed Marsh Runyon's XO/STR.  At Speedweek 2009, with help from a lot of friends, we set the XO/STR record at 153.688.  I am currently working on a belly tank lakester which will run in V4F/GL.  See you at the Salt

Danial, welcome to the forum and our great world of LSR. Being one of the old timers I have seen much over the years. Knowing that a lot of young people are starting out in LSR is a good feeling that you and others will continue with the sport for many more years to come. Good luck with your belly tank built and success with your ride down the salt that you have made with your own hands. Looking forward to timing you.

Hello all

I'm Stuart Radnofsky - originally from Houston, TX but living in the UK for the past 25 years, mostly working on the marketing and promotional management side of endurance sportscar racing (Le Mans 24 Hours, etc). I have been an LSR fan since 1965 at age 10 when I got a worn (OK it was almost new) paperback copy of the Mickey Thompson bio co-written w/ Griffith Borgeson.

I spent quite a while working with the late Steve Fossett on the sponsorship, PR and media side of all of his varied projects from 1993 - 2007, including, of course, on the ex-Breedlove SOA Sonic Arrow / Fossett ALSR and have had the pleasure of meeting and working with folks like Eric Ahlstrom, Landspeed Louise, John Ackroyd and Rosco McGlashan. In fact, I now have the enviable task from Mrs Fossett to find a good new home for this stored, but very nearly ready to run (and still very cool) 'Target 800 mph' project.

I've been lurking about the forum off and on for a while and thought I now ought to join in on occasional issues where I might have something to offer.

Hope to see you on a desert floor somewhere, sometime!

Hello, My name is Mark and I am 24 yrs old.  I live in Carson City, NV.  I had my first trip to the salt in 2008 and was instantly hooked.  I have been a drag racer, but now have changed directions.  I have been mostly into VW's for the past 10 yrs, but love anything with wheels.  I am working on a 37' ford with my father in-law and a 28' Ford with my father that we have rebuilt from the ground up.  I was planning to run my 68' Karmann Ghia (2276cc EFI Turbocharged) in the 130 Club this year as a way to get on the salt and and get a feel for it, but unfortunately earlier this month I had a brain hemorrhage, which turned out to be an AVM.  I am currently waiting surgery in San Francisco scheduled for the end of the month.  As of now I am going to cancel the 130 club plan and possibly start planning another build of either another Karmann Ghia or a Honda CRX with a 1500cc engine for one of the H/categories.  Thanks for giving me something to read when I am in and out of the hospital.  I should be back to the garage in no time.

Hi, Mark.  Dang -- well, the Salt Flats will wait for you to be all better - and so will we.  We'll keep making posts and saying goofy stuff - to keep you entertained during your recovery, and when you finally do show up at Bonneville -- we'll welcome you in person all over again.

Best wishes for a good recovery.

Hi  My name is Bob McAndrew and I am from Georgetown, SC. I have been riding bikes for about 44 years, mostly to go somewhere in the mountains. For my birthday in 2002 I bought a Honda Spirit 750, shortly that was a bit tame so I found a Honda VTX 1300. In 2006 some of my 'friends' dared me to go to Bubs shindig and ride RWYB... I don't even remember how fast I ran but that hooked me.
With a lot of help from my friends we built a 1970 Honda CB100 to run at Maxton and last month I wiggled into a very warm suit and helmet and set a record in the Production 4 stroke class.
Am off to Bubs next month...Anyone from SC going?

Hi everyone, my name's Gwen. Although not a racer of any kind, well other than through the traffic in LA, I have been into cars for quite some time. For years now I've been meaning to get to Bonneville to see the races (I'm a photographer that shoots cars and landscapes as well).
I've decided to make the trip to El Mirage this coming weekend and was looking around trying to find out what time everything starts.
I found your forums and figured this would be a good place to ask and learn more about racing.

[Dakzila]

Welcome aboard Gwen,

Be sure to bring a hat and some sun screen, it going to hot at ELMO this coming weekend.

And lots of cold water, and good sun glasses
