I heard that he ran a 151 sp far with some adjusting left to do

 

Hey Rusty, Thanks for the update, I've been waiting to hear how he's doing. Dennis

 

Dayum!!

 

Any more updates?

 

Here's a text I got from him...

"151 was the best run Sat after one ok run. Had to replace the fuel pump, broke the blower belt. Found another one around 11:00 last night. Will make some runs today. 151 was easy...feels like Sunday driving."

Looks like things are going well. Good luck to him today!

 

we came to see ya saturday temper mental, could not find ya? big place
151 whoohoo Good job.... looks like fun

 

151 was it. I'll let Larry tell ya. Speedjunkie did 157 on a sportster. Big Al did 140 on his sportster.

 

151 and still alive I would say that was a good weekend. Congrats Larry.

 

that is smokin buddy! heard today he lost #1 and # 3 cylinders. Tore some stuff up

Congrats

 

What a blast!! I will tell more details later this week very tired. Ran a 151 with a very sick motor. Pulled out of the throttle half track held my speed in to the traps. Here are a few pictures

 

Glad you came back in one piece.

I wish I could say the same for my motor.

 

motors can be replaced memories can't. what a ride that must have beengrats..

 

A buddy of mine, Sean Roberts ran 200 mph on his turbo Hiabusa (spelling?) but burnt up a ring or something. but anyway he told me about your car on the phone about an hour ago, that thing is badass man.

 

Im sure it was a blast. Congrats!

 

Pics.....

Pretty girls like to go fast too.

Saturday race conditions were the best i have seen at the mile. I run a hard tail sportster 74 cu in.

1st pass 142mph air speed was pulling the fuel out of the velocity stack, changed to SS cover no filter.

2nd pass 141mph running conservative to make sure i was not leaning out. Motor sounds good.

3rd pass Time to get it on! Geared up from a 21 tooth front to a 22 tooth. Ran balls out from take off to finish 157.875!!!!!

Holy Shit that was fast. Like ridding a running horse I could no longer sit on the seat because of the violent ride.


Now as we say in the race world lets see what I can do to slow it down!!!!

4th pass 23 tooth sprocket 153mph
5th pass advance timing 148 mph
6th pass 25% nitro and put timing back 138mph
OK TAKE A BREAK. I managed to FxxK that up!
7th pass put everything back like second run 152mph
8th pass 153mph
Sunday 1 pass with 2 cameras mounted and a less favorable conditions 138mph

 

Glad you're back safe Larry, what happened to the motor?

 

well I missed my guess by 6 mph...........sounds like a fun trip, nice to h ear
you made it back safe and sound..

thanks for the pix's

 

For sure I have blown a head gasket in between number 1 and 3 . I will be tearing down the motor tonight to see if I can make the round up.

 

glad to hear you made it back ok. I guess its time for O rings and copper headgaskets..

 

Glad you had a fun and safe time. Sorry you had the motor problems. Hope its nothing serious or expensive.

 

Glad you had a great time and made it back in one piece. I wanted to come bring a camera out, but stuck doing the honeydoo list to get ready for roundup

 

For the guys that live near this event and have not gone you are missing out. It is not about hot rods are one type of car its just about going fast and it is also very safe at least the conditions are. I will be doing my best to going out in October again blew both head gaskets and will need work done to the heads to fix them but thats racing. Will post more photos

 

very cool! Wish she would have held together to get you up another 25mph! Next time...

 

Good job mang!
