The Post Bonneville Bikernet Weekly News for August 29, 2024

Hey,

We rolled in from Bonneville yesterday afternoon, an easy five hours with three drivers covering about 125 miles apiece.

The Salt Torpedo set a record with a top speed of 144.888 the first day of racing. The next day we sailed through the lights on a rutted track at over 150.  Our team at 57, 75, 76 and 77 will be a year older next year and the years are starting to weigh heavily on performance whether we like it or not. The trike definitely needs a younger crew.

We are also looking at completing the 45 cubic inch Bonne Belle and taking it to the salt next year, maybe. We ran across some guys who built two magnificent 45 flatheads, so the competition is stiff and we lost years of testing on the salt.
