I heard you and Dale Walksler made 5 runs at Maxton and set or beak 5 records this weekend. Is this true?

Either way congrats to you and everyone involved in the bike build and race and share some pix with us here.

The staff of the East Coast Timing Association (ECTA) believe Buzz's 1931 Harley is the oldest vehicle to race to Maxton.
Buzz did increase his time. I was there.

Hey ACME, did I meet you while I was there? Give me a clue. Red carnation in the lapel or something I might remember.

Acme is Brian - one of our two world-class wrenches there.

Here is a photo of me and the bike right before my 3rd and final pass - finally breaking my goal of 75+ mph.

You bet I know Brian. Heck of a nice guy. I never heard the connection between him and Acme. You're right about the wrenching. What a knowledgeable man. I got to see him in action with the bike that wouldn't start because of the cams with too much duration.

Hey Acme. How's the snow?
