World off Speed results

[fvance]

Hey guys,I' m stll on the road, having fun. Saturday I changed classes to fuel, same gas no seal . Ran a 219+ qualifier, return run 210, record is 213.9. The reason for the 210, I lost my place and never shifted into 6th, what a dummy, 2 miles banging the rev limiter you would think I would have cought on. I really wanted a 220, next year I guess. Anyway final results both 1350 APS gas and fuel records,top speed 219.09, not bad for an old fart.

Good job Fred! There is always something small and stupid that can always hurt a good pass. I know I have done things like that, it always seems like there is so much going on during a run you are bound to forget something.

Mark DeLuca ran 245.393 MPH  on his return run this morning. GPS showed 248 hitting the limiter midway throught the mile. And we thought the 237 at Loring was amazing. Bonneville is at 4200' altitude. The bike used non-oxygenated VP race gas, the cylinder head was a Carpenter stock valve CNC port job, the exhaust was a Murray big tube sidewinder. Team Forstall-Knecum-DeLuca, the N/A kings. 

This is truely amazing!! I got to see the run from the absolute best seat in the house. I was sitting on the return road waiting for my support vehicle. Mark was two spots behind me in line. I knew he would be coming soon. I heard him before I saw him. Let me tell you, watching this bike come down the track at 245+ mph on full song and set on KILL is AMAZING!! I can't even explain it.

Way to go Team Forstall, Knecum, and DeLuca!!! You guys have raised the bar again. Next stop...250mph! Steve and Mark it was great seeing you guys again and hanging out.

Congratulations guys. That is just an unbelievable speed out of a N/A motor, especially at that DA.  I bet you got that cylinder head gasket sealed up though…  

 Thanks everyone, and congrats to Fred

thats a different bike and a different motor.. here is the bike.. this bike has 250 in it, he was in and out of the gas 3 times during the 245 run, and hit the limiter..The bike runs a Murray exhaust also, this is a old pic when he went 228

Steve:

Did you bring the N/A Loring bike?  Is the Bonneville bike's motor similar?  Awesome job.  Looking forward to see you guys run 250 next year.  Safe travels back to Jersey.
