“But with the throttle screwed on there is only the barest margin and no room for mistakes. It has to be done right . . and thats when the strange music starts, when you stretch your luck so far that the fear becomes exhilaration and vibrates along your arms. You can barely see a hundred; the tears blow back so fast that they vaporize before they get to your ears. The only sounds are the wind and the dull roar floating back from the mufflers. You watch the white line and try to lean with it . . . howling through a turn to the right, then to the left and down the long hill to Pacifica . . . letting off now, watching for cops, but only until the next dark stretch and another few seconds on the edge . . . The Edge . . . ” – Hunter S. Thompson,

Ya heard right, Land speed racing in Ohio boiee. Its official as per a couple hours ago. There will be four events scheduled for the 2012 season in Wilmington, Ohio. I hope to see some of you hooligans in the midwest out to either show support or bring your own home brew shit out.
Been having a rough time with life lately, I need to remember what is fun and how to have it again. No matter how rough you have it, you have it better than most.
We couldn't quite make our goal of 160mph but we got close at 158.66. We chased nitrous bottle pressure issues all weekend but man is she running strong when everything is running right. 30psi of boost and lots of nitrous.
Its coming! Get your asses ready for one of the premier riding events on the east coast! They have a shit load of give aways planed and tons of fun stuff going on. You better be there.
LSR's east coast Mecca, this weekend. Hoping that the god of speed will look kindly in our direction. The rest of the week will be a whirlwind of activity. Wish us luck.
Ancient aluminum castings from Britain are certainly interesting to weld on.
One of the winter projects envisioned, fabricated, tested, and success tasted.
