Dave,

That bike ran at Maxten with the ECTA. You might get with "Rattler" who posts here as he is with the Sporster List team who also runs there frequently. They have simular rules to the salt flats, but deviate is some areas. One is is streamliner class as I don't see many of the required features you must have at Bonneville, but he might be just being coy and not letting all his cards fall in one place. I've talked alot with guys running with the ECTA, but never have ran with them personally. If you find anything out let us know it looks very interesting. I'm always looking for different directions to take my LSR Blast. Thanks for the heads up.

Ray

As I understand ECTA rules, they follow SCTA but they allow arbitrary upclassing to faster classes and higher displacement classes for that matter. Thats why you see stuff like streamliner classed open bikes.

Thanks guys.
Since joining BadWeB I've taken a big interest in LSR. That's how I happened upon Maxton. I want to race, but, because of the way thing are, heading out to the salt is near impossible. So you can imagine my delight in finding that Maxton is only 300 miles away!

Aaron, didn't Susan's Blast do a helluva lot better at LSR?

Well, no, shoulda woulda coulda, but no.

We showed up with the bike too fat, it wouldn't hardly run. I wasn't paying much attention to it, because I was running the RR1000, but it was in capable hands, and they tinkered with it and got it to run a little better and she bagged a record at like 104 on the first day, but the bike still wasn't right.

The second day, they nailed the tuning, which is good. But unfortunately, when Susan took off, the bike came on the pipe hard, much harder than she was expecting, and spun the tire. Which would've been okay but the rocket scientist that put it together cut a corner and essentially had no rev limiter on it. The bike in that state of tune just comes on like a light switch, and she overrev'ed it bad before she knew what happened. Game over.

So it was disappointing because, according to my math, it should've been capable of 120. But they don't give world records for good math. The next year was rained out and then this year I had customers running Blasts so I kinda lost interest in the thing, made it streetable again, and well, you know the rest of the story.
