BIG KUDOS to Dennis!

Congrats Dennis! Gonna try again or settle for that run? 
Best of luck with your other bike, hope it takes the title back...

[BPellerine]

way to go!your efforts paid off!

[bwaller]

Thanks Jerry. Glad to see all the hard work has paid off Dennis, congratulations man.

Wow nearly 148 on the salt, must be damn good numbers.

Nothing comes easy though huh?

[RP]

148!......That is movin' for a Classic.  Salt conditions are great this year.

[dragracer]

Congratulations'

2 more classes to get the records 

[Old Scrambler]

Thanks, guys.................3 more classes to run as long as the weather holds...........several other riders and a few big-name teams are taking note, especially since they are running a little slower with newer and bigger bikes.

If good conditions allow............I will still try to get a 150+mph run ............but will settle for what the motor and the salt gives me. The motor is running sweet but not pulling into the higher rpms (9000+) as desired except in the lower gears. On the 147+ run it felt good to have the air flowing along my back. That told me that its mostly aero-------not power--------at these speeds with a small motor.

What RPM are you turning at 147 MPH?

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

17:45 at 7200 in 5th

[scottly]

7200 RPM @ 147MPH???!!??

[754]

 Are you running morning or afternoon?
 I am 5 hours out. MOUNTAIN HOME idaho.
 May press on a bit further..

[scottly]

If the motor is only turning 7200 in 5th at 147, the gearing is too tall! Try switching the front 17 for a 16, and see what the speed and RPM are. 16/45 may still be too tall, but the only way to lower the ratio any more would be with a larger rear sprocket that you don't have handy.

Yes,  try a 16, Great job Dennis and the rest of y'all!  K.

Just as important Scott, what revs was it turning on the 138.342 run ?
I am inclined to agree though mate, it defo sounds over geared.

[gschuld]

Dennis,

Nice going buddy.👍

If you can remember, have someone take a number of pics of you on the bike in the full tuck position from the front, back, and side.  These pics are always best done on the salt with a clear background, most photogenic.😎

Go get em...

What gear was used on the 138 run? If it was with 4th, I'm guessing 10,000 plus.

[richmagee7]

Awesome Dennis, good to see you and Jerry.

[scottly]

Any updates?? Is everyone too busy celebrating at the Bend in the Road bar? Did Frank make it there?

[Old Scrambler]

Frank is here...........at the motel
'
No success today but now running 16-43 and upping the jets from 120 to 125 and then 130.............windy today so no luck........chasing the M-CG record at 137.6.................Then to the fuel classes which are quite low.

One more 'crew' member to arrive in the AM for a total of 8

[scottly]

Why up the main jets? Are you switching to methanol??  Otherwise, run the same mains that netted 147MPH, and concentrate on gearing.

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Wondered that, but ya'll there, we in in the chair!  , Bill
Glad Frank arrived. K. Ya'll do it! You making us proud.  So cool those pistons were brought back to life by you guys! Randy Carabelli must be smiling......
