DLRA Speed Week 2005 - Page 7
Time to get arty again. Norm doesn't exactly hide the fact he's packing some serious cubic horsepower under the bonnet. |
Beautiful Honda CBX of Phil Mumenthaler ran 141.198mph. |
I'm not really into bikes, but this one really caught my eye. Maybe it's the candy apple paint and gold detailing. Very tidy indeed. |
What it takes to run 300-plus miles per hour. Five hundred or so cubic inches of fuel injected and supercharged Hemi. Oh yeah... |
This looked like a pretty interesting bit of gear, kind of a mix between an open wheeler race car and a speedway racer. Had a good chat with the owner and he was a pretty interesting bloke by the name of David Lowe. |
Small-block Ford looked the goods, but could only manage 125mph. |
Rod Hadfield gives Davo some words of wisdom before a run in the Big Knob roadster. I think Rod's advice went something along the lines of: "Don't fuck it up!" |
It was just a licensing pass as it was Davo's first time in the seat, otherwise he would have run 200mph for sure! |
