Hey thanks for the support here on the "Never Ending Story". I am very happy to say that Russ White and crew, new owners of Randakk's Cycle Shakk as well as several other interest, are sponsoring for this years SPEEDWEEK at Bonneville. I felt his crew would enjoy that event more than the motorcycle only event as Russ has some impressive drag racing cars and enjoys the four wheel adventures related to speed. I mentioned already that they are coming to the event as well which is August 12th through 18th.

Currently Kelly and I are moving to a bigger "safer" home here in Las Vegas. It has a three car garage which will give Naked Wings her own dedicated stall and door with an accompanying work bench. We're excited about the new place but NOT the moving part. The first big run at El Mirage dry lake bed in California is only 90 days away. I have some tweaking to do to be ready. Stay tuned!

I know he recently posted on FB about a new venue for this year. Seems like I recall it was just the other side of Memphis but not sure. I just looked but can not find the post.

The 108 run was "stuck" in 4 gear and lugged from about the 60 foot thru the traps. Not a real run at all...

But good enough for a class record. The best riders always win by just a little bit. Regardless of the competition . Always keep them guessing

"But good enough for a class record."
Yep!
Grabbing a soft record is still a record, and good on them for that.
However, with the amount of effort that went into the build, I just expected a lot more speed out of the bike.
I suspect that they were too.
