Guy building a drag bike. It has an S&S 124 that has been reworked. 125mph in the 1/4 wasn't fast enough for him.

Or the idiot who called 2 Ill-conceived run plays and a swing pass right after the interception leading to 3 and out with 2 minutes to go.

Without seeing him his problem may be in the waist band and vehicle weight. Drill some holes in the frame to lighten it up and go see Jenny Craig to shrink the waist band.

I guess I should clarify and say that it's a street bike that he likes to run at the drag strip. He was there at the shop when I stopped in. We all pretty much just figger he's gonna die, but he wants to die at 150mph rather than 125.


I think Bert is familiar with this build. Belongs to a guy called Chig

Bert tried land speed racing down at the Ohio mile and he thinks he saw Jesus( he said he was black). Anyway way at 167 he said he thought Black Jesus was lifting his *** off the seat. Come to find out the problem was he was wearing his drag racing gear which is a two piece set up and the wind had made a parachute out of his jacket. He now owns a one piece racing suit and he will try it again in Bonneville and he hopes not to see Jesus again regardless of his skin color.
