I haven't heard of them but I just googled it. Looks like they run those at a different event.
Speed Week is all about going as fast as humanly possible in a car or on a motorcycle driven by the wheel(s). It is the event featured in the movie. I recommend every gear head check it out at least once in their life... You are sure to learn a thing or two just hanging out in the pits.

I am making one or two for myself, with my latest version of a hydrogen generator. If it looks worthy, I just might enter this mileage competition event I read about elsewhere, this year.

We were going for 400mph last year but ran into a bunch of problems... took it up to 350 firing on just 4 of 8 cylinders though we though that was cool haha. It was a rough year but 2010 should be good.

I am on a racing team (cars) at Bonneville Speed Week every year. We have sponsors with deep pockets so we have some serious cars and hold many records. If you ever decide to go to Speed Week be sure to visit our pits WZBD. I live in Sothern California so I only attend SCTA events with the team but if you ever want to see the cars in action on the east coast they do race ECTA Maxton (not the Lakester). The World's Fastest Indian is a great movie btw one of my favorites. ~Aldo Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2010 11:47:10 -0600 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] A great Bonneville Salt Flats story is portrayed in "The World's Fastest Indian" Burt Munro of New Zealand hit 183 mph in 67' Jan 2, 2010 10:38:26 AM, [email protected] wrote: The Bonneville 650 may have been fast, but the Norton handled much better and could beat it in races. Some of them liked to put a 650 engine in a Norton frame over there for the races...

I haven't checked in a long time. Scuffing on the jackets is not a problem. There is a really neat method used by the English to lube cables. I can write it out if you want to know. --- On Thu, 12/31/09, NghthwkLvr (NL) <[email protected]> wrote: From: NghthwkLvr (NL) <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Carb Cleaning 101 - 31DEC09 Update To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, December 31, 2009, 4:04 PM hello group....and happy new year to all of you... just wanted to update you on my carb cleaning project...almost finished and ready to reinstall...need to get them in before mlk day (jan.18) because i go back to being a full time student on the nineteenth...so with that said... as of today I have them set out in an upright position with a fuel supply, checking for leaks...as suggested by Dennis.... internally, i have done all the necessary cleaning, unclogging and deglazing and they are looking pretty sparkly and shiny...on the inside.... the external housing is a different matter though...there are a lot of little crooks and crevices that I just can't get to to degrime....I am planning on using compressed air, engine degreaser, pressurized water, and wd-40 to try to take care of the external cleaning...HOWEVER... I read somewhere on the web, that soaking the carbs in boiling lemon water for about 20 minutes would externally clean them right up....so...what do y'all think....would y'all recommend this method or not....would/could anything get damaged by this method? second, I was setting the carb assembly upright to check for leaks and kinda noticed that the throttle cables are a bit on the worn side...looks like they're the originals from back in 1984...so should/ can I go ahead and replace them or just give them a good cable cleaning/lubricating? any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated....thanks guys!
