Bonneville or Bust~!~

[outlawbusa]

Went by Dennis "hollywood" Zainfeld's establishment this evening to drop off a few things for Kevin (Tofas2C) to take with him. They are loaded up and leaving in the morning. Dennis is helping out a great deal to make Kevin go faster.

Funny thing is, this isn't even Kevin's race bike, this is his street Busa that ate the head a couple weeks ago. Made a few changes over the last week or so~!~

Check out the mailbox chute holder.

Dennis is shooting for 400mph this run in his Lakester.

Kevin is hoping to best his personal record this event also.

Thought I'd share some pics and see them off.

Good luck fellas~!!~

 

[Commuta_Busa]

[Lamb busa]

Lots and lots of fast stuff there! Good luck and stay safe!

They are back on the road again after a few extra hours in WV due to a blown air bag in the truck suspension.

Gotta love the anxiety involved with getting ready for a big race~!~

 

[Got-Busa?]

Sounds like fun, hope they take lots of pics...

 

[outlawbusa]

They made it down, still attempting to get everything through tech...looks like what's good for the east coast doesn't always fly on the salt. (even the leathers didn't pass due to the way the arm pits and crotch are made)

I believe they'll have everything straight and running soon~!~

 

[Commuta_Busa]

ahhh yea different rules for SCTA... ???

any updates???

 

[outlawbusa]

The Firebird did a shakedown run at 199mph, planning on opening it up today.

The Lakester has not run yet.

Kevin ran his initiation run yesterday on the short course and moves to the 5 mile course today for licensing passes.

Should hear more later today.

 

[Commuta_Busa]

ughh licensing passes but hey, it's good to get familier with a new environment.

 

[outlawbusa]

He says he is suprised at the traction they have so far~!~

 

[Commuta_Busa]

yea, it's really once you really get up in speed that you've got to feel, listen, and watch the revs

 

[outlawbusa]

No updates on the cars yet, but Kevin finished his licensing runs at 198 GPS and slowing across the speed trap at 188mph. (apparently that license has to run 175-200 mph)

I wish we could get some other speeds that are being accomplished, but their's so much room out there it's hard for him to hear other racers speed at this time.

Looks like he's going to run all out tomorrow on the 5 mile course cutting out at the 4 mile speed trap.

As far as I can tell the lakester still has not made the first pass.

 

[Commuta_Busa]

thanks for the update!

 

[Commuta_Busa]

was just looking at the logs...

9678B 1350CC APS-F WZBD Busa

Is that the name he's running under?

 

[Got-Busa?]

Fred Vance went 228mph yesterday on a 1349cc BUSA. Go get them today Fred...

 

[Commuta_Busa]

yea, I hear Fred is cookin it out there!

 

[outlawbusa]

was just looking at the logs...

9678B 1350CC APS-F WZBD Busa

Is that the name he's running under?

I feel sure that's him, his number and class. He had to switch over to someone else's pre entry so it may be under their name...

 

[outlawbusa]

Kevin just called and said he broke a record running 217.7 and is looking for his paper work to make it official~!~

Way to go~!!~

 

[Commuta_Busa]

yup, i just heard the news He sounded completely pumped. He qualified for the record today. Now tomorrow morning he's got to back it up to make it an official record. Sounds like there's a VERY good chance he'll get the record. We'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear the results. The record is currently held by Fred Vance.

Btw, earlier to day Fred had an off on the bike. He's okay though.

Good luck to all!!! Bring that Bonne red hat home Kevin!!!
