WORLD’S FASTEST PANHEAD RUNS D&D PERFORMANCE EXHAUST–Fort Worth, TX – October 2, 2007 – D&D Performance Enterprises designed a land speed racing (LSR) exhaust system for Bikernet.com’s 5-Ball Racing Team, who set a new world record on their Panhead with famed drag racer Valerie Thompson at the controls.
The team ran a two-pass average of 156.171 mph and took an AMA World Land Speed Record (#50 in the 2000 APS PF class) with the Assalt Weapan, on a 120-inch rigid Panhead.
The design of the exhaust system was made by the Pope of Pipe and D&D President, Dave Rash. The stepped pipe system started out at 1 7/8-inch pipe for 14 inches and then stepped up to 2-inches in diameter until each pipe was exactly 35 inches long. The pipes then slipped into a collector and were attach to a slip-on megaphone.
“This LSR system has been tested to deliver maximum HP at 6,500 to 6,800 rpms,” explained Rash. “We’ve discovered that these race-based 2-into-1 performance pipes generate 20 more horses than single exhausts.”
The design of the land speed racing pipe was integral to the performance of the Accurate Engineering Panhead high performance engine. It provided the most efficient way to extract expended gases out of the combustion chamber for a top speed of 162 mph on very slippery salt surface.
“It’s a pleasure to work with Dave Rash because he constantly studies how to dig performance out of racing and street engines with his exhaust pipe designs,” said Keith R. Ball, Bikernet.com President. “His assistance helped the team achieve two world records in two years.”
“If you cut us, we bleed salt,” said Dave Rash. “We are proud of the effort Bandit and his 5-Ball Racing team put together, and we are excited about the results and even more excited about working with the team in 2008.”
D&D Performance Exhausts are available from Custom Chrome dealersnationwide or from the factory at 817-834-8961, www.danddexhaust.com.

SCOTT JACOBS BREAKS ANOTHER RECORD–After breaking last year’s record for sales at the Sturgis Rally six weeks ago (just over two hundred canvas giclees sold), Scott Jacobs has been in the studio working on a new Marilyn Monroe painting which has been selected as the fifth image of the Marilyn series. As you can see from the visual below, this stunningly detailed painting contains THREE Marilyn Merlot bottles and took Scott over a year to complete.
Scott’s Marilyn Monroe Series has become some of the most coveted artworks in the market and LADIES IN WAITING could easily end up being the signature piece of the collection. The original painting sold recently at auction in Napa Valley for a record price. Only sixty of the Artist’s Proofs from the studio will be produced and many of those are already spoken for so don’t delay if you like this one. (Retail: $1550 or $1850 with custom frame package. 33 X 25 canvas size or 40 x 32 overall framed).
Also Mr. Jacobs will be making a personal appearance in Denver, Colorado on Oct. 11 at Fascination St. Gallery in Cherry Creek. If you will be in the area and would like to attend the show please RSVP:303-333-1566 and ask for Carlos. We will be unveiling a new wine painting that was commissioned by a patron of the gallery.

CORRECTIONS OFFICER IN JAIL ON SEX CHARGES–Brevard County sheriff’s agents concerned about a state corrections officer’s past interactions with law enforcement lured the man out of his home this past weekend to arrest him on child abuse charges.
William Carlile, 47, is being held without bond at the Brevard County jail on 24 counts of sexual battery on a minor and 60 counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a minor.
Carlile, a housing officer at the state-run Brevard Correctional Institution, is accused of molesting the teenage girl during a five-year period, said Lt. Tod Goodyear of the Special Victims Unit.
Given past complaints filed against Carlile – he was accused of a similar crime seven years ago by a different child, but he didn’t go to trial – his arrest may mean other children are potentially protected, Goodyear said.
This was not the first time the SWAT team dealt with Carlile.
Domestic battery charges filed against Carlile by his wife seven years ago led to a standoff with the sheriff’s SWAT team before he was arrested, Goodyear said.

FLORIDA’S PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION INSURANCE–For many years Florida drivers were required to have Personal Protection Insurance (PIP) on their vehicles. This insurance was to cover you if you were injured by another vehicle operator. DUH! Having to have insurance to pay your medical bills if others injure you. Now if you happened to have health insurance that would cover you in the same situation you are paying twice for basically the same coverage.
During the law that expires October 1, 2007 Motorcycles had been excluded from having to have PIP.
The Florida Legislature is working on a new bill that revises the states $10,000Medical coverage for motorist and passengers. Though written to take effect immediately, it would not put all Florida motorists under the same requirements until December 1, 2007
Please note that motorcycle riders in Florida that wish to ride without a helmet must have medical coverage.
Motorcycle riders in the State of Florida are strongly advised to contact their elected officials and let them know that they wish motorcycles to be excluded from PIP as they have been in previous years. This does not mean you can not get this insurance if you desire, but That You Are Not Forced To or are excluded if you have other forms of insurance that cover you.
Why should we be forced to carry more than one insurance policy that covers us for the same thing? Please Contact Your Legislator Now, Time Is Limited!

The Top Fuel bike is available that weekend and I thought what a great opportunity to show off the 2001 186 cid PRP powered Weekend chassis monster. We wanted to see Tommy go to Richmond to honorably maintain his Screamin’ Eagle Nitro Harley points lead for the NHRA exhibition championship.” Bahnmaier’s been around the sport for years. He started Harley-Davidson of Salina in 1978. After owning the Mid-Continent Harley-Davidson in Wichita since 1987, he sold that dealership in July of 2005. Bahnmaier, ” I started racing in 1969 on an ironhead Sportster, from 1979-88 I competed in the Pro Gas class and then went to carburated Nitro in 1988 and then Pro Fuel 1998. We won the AHDRA championship in 1999 and we’re runner-up in 2000 and I went on to Top Fuel in 2001. A couple years ago I thought I was ready to retire, but that nitro smell kept dragging me back to the track. Once you win an event on nitro it seems like you’re hooked. We love the people, the power and want to maintain a presence at the track. This is a good opportunity for both Tommy and my team.” Bahnmaier goes on to say, “The Mid-Continent Motorsports team includes: myself, Joe and Neita Bahnmaier my mom and Dad , Dave Larson of Topeka H-D, Drew Moldenhauer, and Jody Dukelow both of Wichita, KS. We are actively and successfully competing with Rick Moore, Reading, PA, piloting our Pro Dragster program.” Grimes is very excited about making the Torco Racing Fuels NHRA Nationals. ” Mike and I are totally committed to this event. Quite frankly, it was bothering me that I had won 2 out of the 3 NHRA Screamin’ Eagle Nitro Harley exhibitions and was concerned that without a ride, the trophy wouldn’t be really ‘earned’, I’m feeling great now and look forward to making the show and winning the event for Mid-Continent Motorsports.” The Mid-Continent Motorsports team is supported by: Harley-Davidson of Salina, Mike’s Metal Polishing of Ransom, Ks., Gates Corporation, Saum Engineering, CP pistons, Nungesser Engineering, and Nevada Auto Mall. –Grimes-336-766-7908 THAT?S IT FOR THE NEWS–The guys left this morning and I plan to relax. Clean house, work on the courtyard and party with the girls. That?s my way of relaxing. Have a great weekend and don?t expect me to post an article a day like Bandit does. All I have going on now that I could show photos of and talk about daily is seven little kitties running all over the Headquarters. They sure are cute? Anybody have a good home for one?? Layla
