I like the 0%

Now lets hope the salt can be graded to erase the SCTA scars

I'm loaded and ready..........brought some VP C12 for the fuel classes

Hope you have a good wind to your back both ways

Good luck Dennis and safe travels!

Seems George Poteet was able to clock 369.5xx mph on Thursday...upping his earlier run of 332...must have seen an older post about his previous run...
That kind of jump in speed would seem to reason that the salt his improving!

Thanks for all of the encouragement

Poteet has several different motors but usually goes the fastest with his small 330-CI .........its all in the turbos and the fuel-mix

Best of luck Dennis....👍

Well I did make it to Somewhere this weekend, southern WA..... TENINO AMCA Vintage Swap meet.
Got here late, but hey finally went on a first ride this year.. I doubt I will see Bonneville this year though..bummer.
Give er #$%* Dennis. . I Wonder if our local will be there competing with you..
That was very close last year.,

Old Scrambler · « **Reply #585 on:** August 19, 2019, 06:02:55 AM »

I expect competition..........all records are meant to be broken.........but I am not planning on making 17 runs

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #586 on:** August 19, 2019, 09:16:51 AM »

8 runs would be good

754 · « **Reply #587 on:** August 19, 2019, 10:20:50 AM »

Just getting there and being there is good...

Just read where some lowlife scum has stolen all an Italian motorcycle team's things except the bike which they were washing at the time!

Strip the thieves naked, Fillet the thieves balls, and give them lots of shallow cuts all over and then drag them through the salt before you get real medieval on their asses.

Islamic states can do one thing properly, punishment. Stones or sable. Stones better since that can be a public feast selling stones. Baseball fans know how to....

Did everyone make it there OK? Dennis, if you still haven't figured out how to post pics, you can email them to me; I'll PM my address to you.

Old Scrambler · « **Reply #593 on:** August 25, 2019, 07:37:20 PM »

Jerry and others are here with one trial run at 124+ into an 11-mph wind...........Very rough salt with some soft spots.......should be better tomorrow. Bike seems good but I rattled 3 screws loose on the front fender. My daughter, Becca, will post pics and news at Salt Team Advanced Landspeed on Facebook.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #594 on:** August 25, 2019, 10:43:13 PM »

Cool! Hope you have steady improvements in next few days. Look forward to the photos. Hope tomorrow brings you a 20+ mph increase both ways to top your 142 mph from last year.
David

scottly · « **Reply #595 on:** August 26, 2019, 08:04:39 PM »

I'm not on facebook.

Is the new tach working? Are you hitting your target RPM of about 9500?

754 · « **Reply #596 on:** August 29, 2019, 07:15:40 PM »

Forum is up and running
I think Dennis is halfway home.
Anyone got results ?

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #597 on:** August 29, 2019, 10:53:33 PM »

Not what we hoped for. Couple issues. Dennis should be around tomorrow or so.

Hate to hear you guys had unexpected problems. I know a valiente effort was given by all to make something happen.

I see Triumphs set a couple 750 MPS records. What is the story on runs by the Honda?
