busa1300 Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I saw this at the AMA Speed Trials this week.....Custom frame for sure..... Twin 1100 4 valve engines.... ran in the 3000cc class....next class down was 2000cc .....Probably not too useful anywhere, but on the salt. 5 Quote

It's got twice the engines, stock horsepower but twice the torque! Having 90 deg bends on the exhaust outlets - class! It's about the jenkyest redneck combination I could imagine! Quote
Dorkburger Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 I follow him on Instagram (freakhouse customs). Seems to be a pretty cool dude who doesn't take things too seriously. He builds some wacky stuff. 1 Quote
Dezza Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 He must have a grip like the bionic man to disengage both clutches simultaneously with just the one lever. Quote

busa1300 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Posted August 31, 2019 I saw him at the timing booth taking a picture getting his timing slip, so he did get a record.....but not sure what it was. No new records of the event have been posted yet. Quote

Duckndive Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Quote from his Instagram We set the record! An average of 114 mph in the 3000-A-CF class. The GloWorm has plenty more in her, but the rider needs to learn to harness the power! Edited August 31, 2019 by Duckndive 1 Quote
Gixer1460 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I know its salt, but couldn't a std ET manage that sort of average? Serious Question! Quote

Dezza Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 It's not my cup of tea either but good luck to him getting it running and having a go. I always though the whole point of events like Bonneville was that anyone could have a go no matter what they brought as long as it wasn't mechanically unsound, and the event wasn't some kind of race meeting poisoned by 'competitiveness.'

It's about setting records. there are a bewildering number of classes on the salt. If you choose the 1300 production class you'll be up against all sorts of trick kit. Scan the records and find a soft record and build a bike to challenge it. That's what that bike is all about. Quote
