neon14 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Jenn will be riding the same bike she she ran in Maine. That bike is capable of a 250mph pass. Just got to work the bugs out of it. Once you get to a certain point things get more and more difficult. Dads bike is still not ready, not really been working on it. She did get her yearly trip to the emergency room in the other day She was jumping her horse and fell off. Thought she had a broken wrist but ex-rays came back negative. I told her not to do any crazy stuff before Bonneville. Thats only to weeks away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supertx Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 can you bring a RV and stay there at the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 can you bring a RV and stay there at the track? Joe, they got lots of folks that do that, although there are no hookups. You wil be parked on either the old main aircraft parking ramp, or along the old taxiways. Everyone there is in the pits. Bing plenty of stuff to eat with you; the vendors are busy and a bit pricey, and it is 15 minutes to the nearest store, a stop-n-rob at that. Let me know if you go, I will probably be there Saturday. I hang with Greg, and my brother is bringing his camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KISS_Racing Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Joe, As Tom mentioned come prepared. Food isn't that expensive although it is always cheaper when You bring your own. Bring generator, plenty of fuel. Plan on figuring your water for number of days you would stay. Also, I believe there is a dump station in Beeville but could be wrong. Walmart within 20 minutes, so not a huge deal there I know Tom knows the ropes real well, but if You have any (?????) send me a note and I'll do my best to point You in the right direction. Everyone is friendly out there and we help each other out. We have sold plenty of Nitrous to others so it isn't as if You will be out there alone if You know what I mean...

KISS_Racing Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I was offered a SWEET deal on a Busa' yesterday... It already has the extended swing arm and has some mild work done to it... It is hard to pass up the deal but who knows I might but it after all!

neon14 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Jenn decided to get in a little practice in before the Texas Mile. She is going to run at the Bonneville Salt Flats this weekend on a friends bike. Lets hope she gets a red hat! Wish I could be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ1796 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Will, Macky will be there with his 1st generation Neon with the SRT4 motor in it. Will be interesting to see what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon14 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Jenn says she is going to go say hi to Macky. She has been in line since 7 this morning. This will be her 3rd and final licensing pass, she has to keep it under 200. Not sure this bike will go that fast though. The record for this class is a tick over 200. Here is a quote from Jenn yesterday "after my first pass I pulled off at the 4 mile marker and went past the cones where you have to shut off the bike and wait for you ride...it was completely silent and no one within sight...just white and dead silence" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon14 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Kind of high jacked the Texas mile thread but this is just getting us ready for the mile! Jenn completed her third licensing pass. All she had to do was run between 175 and 200mph. She went 199.9 Lol! As usual Jenn is pushing things to the limit Less than 1mph off the class record. Tomorrow she will make an attempt at the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the bike Jenn was attempting to set the record with has issues. She most likely is done for the event. In other events she has been offered other bikes to ride, so let see if this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon14 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 From what I gather the motor wouldn't pull past 10,000rpm, prolly got tired. All it takes is for one little thing to be not quite right to slow you down. If it was easy it would not be any fun Interestingly this was an all motor bike, no power adders, and the bike had no plastic on it. No windshield, no fairings, nothing. Cant wait to talk to jenn and hear what it was like to go almost 200 with no windscreen! Next.....Texas Mile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KISS_Racing Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Wow, just got some interesting/exciting news... There have been two cars that have run 250+MPH. The LMR Camaro & The Hennesy Ford GT, well LMR is said to be bringing a car that will break there own record. The Ford GT holds the record at 257.7MPH and this new LMR car is said to be well capable of breaking the 257.7 record. If you have not been to this event, you need to come.... Land Speed Racing (LSR) is a rush and how many places do you know of that You can watch semi-production car (modified cars) run well into the 200MPH range.

champ1796 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 163.5 mph by my boss in his 98 Neon. Only staying in high octane mode for part of the run for some reason. If he can get it to stay in that mode for the full run, 170 is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
