Broken Spoke Racing Takes Home Two Records From Bonneville–After setting new attendance records at the Broken Spoke Saloons in Sturgis, Jay Allen headed to Bonneville to continue his winning streak. Jay Allen and the Broken Spoke Racing Team defeated two past world record speeds this year at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
The beginning of the week was spent fine-tuning and dialing in the 2005 S&S 124 cubic inch single cam motor. It also runs Rob Schopf B-2 heads and a Baker 6 speed tranny right out of the box.
On Tuesday, Jay Allen surpassed the first Land Speed record of 120.392 to an outstanding 182.011 in the 3000cc APS-PF class. Following up on Thursday, Jay once again gained another Land Speed record by over taking the past record of 142.875 to 184.667 in the 3000cc APS-PF class. The Broken Spoke Racing Team will be heading back to Bonneville to try to reach their goals of breaking the 200mph records.
All of this leads up to the much anticipated Bub event at Bonneville where Jay is an ambassador of the sport every year. Keep watching for news of his success.
INDY DEALER EXPO TO BE HELD EXCLUSIVELY IN INDIANA CONVENTION CENTER–Dealer Expo show management has confirmed to Dealernews that it will hold the entire 2010 event at the Indiana Convention Center and adjoining hotels, and not the Lucas Oil Stadium. The stadium in 2009 housed attendee registration, new vehicle exhibits and the Big Twin Country pavilion, requiring attendees to either walk outside or take shuttle buses to commute between the Indiana Convention Center exhibits and the stadium.
Big Twin Country and other lifestyle-specific pavilions will be featured on the second floor of the Indiana Convention Center, according to Trevor Trumbo, group marketing director. Attendee registration will move back to the Westin Hotel, where it had been hosted two years ago before the Stadium opened. The Chinese pavilion will be relocated to the Marriott Hotel.
Because the Marriott and the Westin are connected to the Convention Center via skywalks, it will enable attendees to visit all exhibits in 2010 without ever going outside, Trumbo said.
Exhibitors currently contracted for space at the Lucas Oil Stadium were being notified of the changes and booth moves this week. For more information, visit www.dealerexpo.com.

Chris Carr Gives Back In Sturgis!–During the inaugural opening of the Good Ol? Days Raceway at the Broken Spoke Saloon on the County Line, the 7x AMA Grand National Flat Track Champion Chris Carr used some of his down time between competitions to give back to his fellow motorcycle enthusiasts.
On Thursday morning, Chris Carr?s #4 racing rig pulled in and proceeded to unload his race bikes as well as the XR750 HD flat track bike. Well over 100 people including the Limpnickie Lot members received a valuable lesson on the flat track history. Chris spoke for a few hours on the beginnings of flat track racing, the particulars of racing today and on his Land Speed Record setting run in the Bub Streamliner.
On September 5, 2006 Chris Carr broke the land speed record on a motorcycle at the Bonneville Salt Flats with a two-pass run averaging 350.8 mph. His fastest run was 354 mph and his successful run was established aboard the BUB?S racing ?Number Seven Streamliner?. Chris remains the fastest man in the world on two wheels?and this record is recorded in the 2008 edition of the Guinness book of world records.
After speaking, Chris then geared up for a few hole shot demos in the parking lot on his XR750 and proceeded to move onto the track for a few hot laps on his Honda. Cycle Source?s own photographer and 2x AMA Motor Cross rider Geno Stull joined Chris on his own 4 stroke Yamaha. They went head to head for a few laps, entertaining the onlookers. Afterwards, Chris suggested that Geno try the same laps with a bike that has no front brake and smooth tires as opposed to knobbies. The two traded bikes to experience the others set up.
Chris?s devotion for flat track racing is endless and he has started an outreach program called American Supercamp. The camp is a riding skills and balance improvement course for all motorcycle riders that lasts two days and can be attended all over the country. You can read more on this event in the October issue of Cycle Source Magazine.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ? Two-time land speed record holder, Team Marines Racing member and current NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Valerie Thompson has partnered with Palmer and Associates and Mr. D?s Sports Bar and Grill in Las Vegas to attempt what would be Thompson?s third Land Speed Record. Thompson, of Scottsdale, Ariz., will pilot Wink Eller?s ?Spirit of Cliff Gullet? bike in an attempt to become a member of the prestigious Bonneville Salt Flats 200 Mph club. The bike, which has 43 Land Speed Records to its credit, is named in honor of Cliff Gullet who lost his life in a record-breaking run at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2008.
Thompson, who set her two records riding for the Bikernet.com team, will attempt to add a third land speed record to her r?sum? in the A-PF, 3,000cc class during the BUB International Speed Trial Event which will take place August 29 through September 3 at the famed Bonneville Salt Flats outside of Wendover, Utah. Thompson will also be making appearances in Scottsdale and Las Vegas leading up the event and will be on several sports talk radio shows to promote her sponsors.
Mr. D?s Sports Bar and Grill is one of the most popular eating and drinking establishments in Las Vegas and is well-known for its weekly Wednesday Night Bike Night events. Thompson fondly nicknamed, ?America?s High-Speed Sweetheart? said, ?Mr. D?s is the best. Every time our team is in Las Vegas, we get the VIP treatment from Mr. D?s. You can?t beat the atmosphere or their food and drink; we are so happy to have them on board and forward to putting them in the record books. We all look forward to spending time with Denise Haecke before and after the record is set.?
Palmer and Associates is a law firm, which handles issues of personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense. The firm, who is sponsoring its first land speed record, is looking forward reaching out to bike and motorsport consumers as they specialize in representing these types of cases. ?It?s always good to have a big bark and a big bite on your side when trying to break the 200 mph barrier,? Thompson said. ?We appreciate their contribution to the sport and look forward to getting them a record?.

DESERT RUN ENDING–I need to clean up the King for the run to into the desert. There’s several devious ulterior motives for a desert run to 17 Palms. There’s a waitress at the cantina in the hills. There are open roads to nowhere in particular. There’s that escape from the city, and a good group of brothers building cool performance bikes in the hills.
We will talk about Bonneville 2010, plan our strategy, discuss milk crate aerodynamics and performance tips.
Regarding next week, we will bring you the performance results and the tech from 107 Palms, California. I’m just waiting on some JIMS tool shots to wrap up my seal replacement tech on Jeremiah’s bike. Several bike features are headed this way, and we sent Scooter out to check out the Saxon Factory. As Katmandu pointed out, there’s more interest in fiction recently. I may launch another violent piece next week, or you can always join the Cantina and read entire books, and follow the torrid tales in the Cantina Soap Opera. In the meantime take advantage of every summer day.
Ride Forever,
–Bandit
