Re: Two Kids On The Salt
Better in the museum than collecting dust in my garage. And, it's only 10 minutes from home. I can visit anytime. :)

At 45 years old, she has earned a good retirement. She's in good company.

Re: Sidecar record at El Mirage
For sure, not a boring thread Bill! Very interesting stuff.
If there is another side car at El Mirage, it won't be us. We're done. We restored it, showed it, and ran it. It's going into the NHRA...

Re: Sidecar record at El Mirage
Beautiful machine work on the wheel Bill. 10% of the bike's weight on the side car? Maybe I shoud build a side car for our little Honda. We'd only need 11lbs on the wheel. :)

Re: Amal alcohol conversion
The 276 remote float Amal on our little Honda is set up to run up to 80% nitro. We started with straight alky in '68, and learned as we went. 3/8" line to the bowl is enough flow for our 100cc motor....

Re: Vintage Fuel Drag Bikes
Same guys, same bike, 41 years later. It is a fueler, and it was also a drag bike. Got the trophy from LIONS on 7/20/69 to prove it.

Upland is only a few miles to the east Joe. Maybe you were thinking of La
Verne because Borris lived here back in the day.

Re: Vintage Fuel Drag Bikes
Nitro can be a cruel mistress. I still need to get the little Honda apart and replace the piston we melted in 2010. At least we didn't throw schrapnel at anyone!

Re: Vintage Fuel Drag Bikes
The WFI pic is probably '64. Burt ran Bonneville 9 years. I believe it's '64 because the original tail from '62 has been changed, but the hole in the nose Burt cut attempting to get some downforce is...

Re: Vintage Fuel Drag Bikes
John, I really have no idea of the rider's name. Seem's like the pass was in the mid 150's. We were in the stands at about 1/2 track, and couldn't tell what caused him to go down. He landed on his...
