Congrats on everything!!!! I LOVE small world stories. Reminds us how things in life are so closely linked. Enjoy the Honeymoon!!! Larry Boatner

Ben, My fileing system needs a small amount of work. I found the mechanical manual and looked up the O2 stuff but no help. Now on to find the electrical manual. And yes you may have them, once I find them. Soroush. He bought a Black No Stripe. Like Yours! Not quite as fast yet, except it does...

Ben, Have you found the problem? Larry

Wow, That looks really fun.... Love the suspension. Larry

Freddy, And Ben is picking up a Black/no stripe Monday he forgot to mention. I think this is the bike he went 252 on in the Texas Mile. He is initiating research and putting a team together for a run at the Bike land speed record. Ben likes to go fast and is pretty good at it. After last...

Your right Tomy, Nothing like Houston. The GT500 Aircondition works well also. First time this year it was on MAX all the way home. Here is Ben (BeckertB on the forum) after the 213 run and before he pushed the Head Gasket on this run. Coasted thru at 174.

Thanks, Great part of living down here is there is always something to do. 2 weekends ago Big Bend Open Road Race, last weekend Lemons Race and this weekend Standing 1/2 mile. BUT, it would be a hard decision between this and running "The Ring" You are going to have a blast! BTW- Shelby turned...

Played today with the GT500 at the Houston 1/2 mile at Ellington AFB. Ran a 149.9 mph. Did everything I could to break into the 150's but the headwind said "NO". Ben Beckert was there and he ran 213 on his Turbo Busa, Best time of the day on a Motorcycle, Saw Mullet, he was in the Lambo...

Guys, I am with ya. My mini Cooper S. is a ball. People stare at you like your crazy when you tell them how fun it is. My wife thought I was out of my mind when I brought it home, BUT, has stolen it from me and just lets me drive it once in a while. Bigger than you think and faster than you...

An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight suit and leather jacket and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, Are you a real pilot? He replied, 'Well, I've spent my...

Great Job Jason!!! Will I see you at The Hennessey 1/2 Mile at Ellington this weekend??? Larry

We have become VERY good friends with one of the organizers, Kenda. She will just refer you to tech. After 4 years of this we are pretty familiar with the do's and don'ts. They will be mostly interested in your car having an internal roll bar. Or roll Cage. Fire ext. handy. Seatbelts in date...

Luke, They are very serious about the road and make 3-4 trips that morning checking for debris or anything. Two planes and a helicopter travel it all day. We have a friend who drives his COBRA down from Greely each year (has won his class several times) 730 miles each way. He says this is much...

Luke A couple of pictures of it. One is us at the local elementary school. Part of the activities of the week is a visit there for the kids. The second is in line up to start the race. The primered Corvair was second this year with a top speed thru the traps at 207+ mph.

Luke, Yep a friend of ours from Austin, TX. Had a fresh engine in it this year and had a few bugs. Won it two years ago. It was built just for this. His navigator is a female friend who is about 50 yrs old, 5 foot nothing and loves the speed. He inserted a toe hold bar in the floorboard for...

Soroush, You doing the 1/2 mile this weekend? Larry Boatner

Freddy, We ran in the 125mph with a top speed of 140mph because our race car blew the clutch in practice. We ran my co-drivers 2013 Boss Laguna Seca. That speed was a cruise in the park for that car. Car did not have a roll bar so we were limited to that speed for safety reasons. Calling Cool...
