Team 5 Ball Racing just received a Platinum Level sponsorship from super fan and Bikernet reader David Florence. This level of commitment is appreciated and will provide us with a much needed and improved Race Control Center right on the Salt Flats. His contribution also went to gas, lubricants and support vehicle rental.Team 5 Ball still has the throttle pinned and it’s redlined to get the build done. Funds are being emptied like nitro in a Top Fuel dragster. We still need support on the following critical components:
- Paint – $1,500
- Powder coating – $1,500
- Horsepower Tuning – $1,800
The team is flying down master tuner and engine builder Berry Wardlow of Accurate Engineering to dial the engine in. His work in 2006 helped to take the record and we need him on-site to work his magic in the dyno-room.
Valerie Thompson, a professional Harley-Davidson V-Rod Destroyer class drag racer, is our salt pilot. We are modifying the frame and tins to conform to her physic and delivering an aerodynamic platform.
