Since then I purchased the movie, got a rule book and have semi-seriously thought of entering a bike in one of the 175cc classes.
As you might expect; there’s quite a bit that needs to happen.
Weigh to HP combined with potentially a “partial slipstreaming” is the ticket. I can build the motor & bike, but there’s no way I could weigh 120lbs or less.
Not looking for volunteer drivers at this time, just pondering the scope of this venture and whether it’s something I wish to peruse.
Has anyone been to Bonneville or El Mirage and entered a bike?
Curious to get your thoughts.
My thoughts are: "Go for it!". My brother and I fantasize about doing something like this (though he would want to be on 4 wheels), but time, money, and only a modicum of mechanical ability between the two of use has kept this a fantasy. Good luck to you!
