I would love to go! I can think of a couple of random vehicles I would like to run out there. Including the German Look (1303) VW project I'm wrapping up right now.

Not been to It, but did go past the flats on the Interstate doing 140 (mph not kph)

That is a nice straight run Too bad the threat of cops kept it below 150. I'm just a timid o'lady I guess

Someday, when I, actually am old, and a jail sentence doesn't scare me .....

I'm not really that old ( certainly not 'Twardo Old that is the sock in the eye he would love to give me if I wasn't A.Old B. a Woman). It started out as a joke, and unfortunately stuck. However, I am not above using it when I want/need to Don't tell anyone Shhhhh!

I'd like to mod a bike and make some runs. Something street legal that can do the 200 mph club at least, maybe push towards the 250 but then street legal doesn't sound so doable. Top right now has only been pushing 170.

Your legal might be a bit different here

In a way that works for or against me?
Your police down there have to sit with their lights on at night right? A nice little advance warning.

The only real way to take part is to get y'self an Indian and ride it halfway around the world.

Suddenly 200 mph does not seem all that fast anymore.

Looks like the first drag chute bag-locked or something?

Did he pack his own first drag chute? and does he owe his rigger a bottle for the reserve drag chute working? Looks like he had plenty more run off room even with the malfunctioning drag chute. That place must be huge. I have never been to the Salt Flats, but it would be fun to go there sometime. I would love to know how fast my car is (the main straight at my local race track is not long enough to hit my top speed) though of course me driving at the Salt Flats would be like a Sunday stroll in the park compared to the big dog speed demons.
