Hey Jeff,
Just checking in. I have been a real bastard about updating you
via email. I try and blast you guys as much as possible via
Facebook and Instagram.
Just finished the Land speed racing season up a month ago or so
and have a few extra records to add to our belt. The real exciting
part is that we are starting to rebuild/build an all new
turbo/nitrous motor to replace the one I blew to smithereens a
couple years ago. Getting a bigger turbo, a better engineered
exhaust system and improved fueling system. We should, if all goes
well, better our top speed of 162.55 mph on the BSA (out of a 650
pushrod twin!).
For some cross training and just plain fun I built a modern drag
bike over this summer out of a 2006 GSXR1000 to compete in next
year's Top Street Bike Shootout hosted at Englishtown Raceway Park
in New Jersey. I have a couple test and tune nights under my belt
last month and decided last minute to enter the last TSB race of the
year this past Friday night. I managed to be the surprise of the
night and went rounds and ended up in the finals. I lost the finals
by qoing 0.025 of a second faster then my dial in time and got
runner up. Pretty stoked on next years race prospects. I have
enclosed a burnout photo from the final round of racing. Please
excuse the lack of FTWCO stickers on the bike I was not expecting to
go out and race till last minute and the bike is still being developed.
