It could be the same guy. I found his website but there are no pictures of the driver and only a couple of shots of the bike. I remember what he looks like.

Yup...that's Bob....

I put the dragbike in the trailer to the left. Put a cot to the right. Chain the pitbike and hayabusa to the tire on the cot side. Generator, heater, tea pot, grill, shower at the track. I'm all set. I wouldn't call it sleeping with the dragbike more like cuddling. I'm much more comfortable staying with my stuff. so many stories of things getting stolen.

I did shoot a vid of that bike. Black and purple. don't remember where he was from.

Bob Boruta runs a purple Polaris bike at RT66...but he lives in Michigan.
Looking at the results from Indy, he went out in the fourth round.
Nice guy....noisy bike:-D

Ryan, there are two that run up hear as well. One is purple with an air cooled Polaris tripple, the other is yellow, also with a tripple. The only make it a couple of times a year so I doubt they are from this area. Did you take a picture of it?

Nice shelter BTW. Did you sleep with your bike?

lecroy you might like this one. A snowmobile engine in a dragbike. he was running in the 9.70's. The air box and pipes hung out about a foot on either side.

We went to Indy for the NHRA bracket finals this weekend. I went out second round in the race of champions as well as the regular race. Oh well at least I'm consistant. Those guys are tough out there. Both losses I put together a good package they just had a better one. lecroy you might like this one. A snowmobile engine in a dragbike. he was running in the 9.70's.

here is a pic of the pits. Bought a 10x20 canopy off a guy at work for $75. Backed the trailer right into it. Pic is from video.

Last I heard, Knoll was planning on building a multi-use facility in Ohio.

I wonder why Ohio.

I'm waiting on my new clutch and was not able to run on Friday.

Saturday was good time. Had a good turnout. A lot of new bikes came to race. I think their done for the year so they came to enjoy the weather.

We did not do so well. The Kaw was still down for repairs so Blacky came out of retirement. This is an old 89 GS stert bike with longer swing arm and a few other tricks. They had put a brand new set of carbs on it so I ended up having to do some major jetting to get it to run right. We got it into the 11.60's at a little over 125. Made it three rounds. Kid and dad went out second round. We may have gave up the lead again. We didn't stay to see the finals.

They had a couple of T/F funny cars. Quite a few T/A and some replicas running. The Chi Town Hustler came and ran 260 or so. It was a great show for the end of the season.

One more final race and the points are done.

Evan Knoll bought the 25% (all that he had left) of the IHRA stock that Bill Bader owned.

I didn't know that. I wonder what his plans are. He is sure doing a great job getting the Torco name out.

666, your bike is telling you something!!!

I did not think NHRA had a bike program. Do you just run with the cars? They had talked about ending the bike class up at Martin before Fisher's stepped up and sponcered the class. I am not sure that it would be a bad thing. If we run with the cars you may be able to get into both box and no-box classes.

For now we need to stay focused on the last few races. It's way too close to call.

I am now at a stand still with the new engine until I can get a handle on the clutch. This bike has turned into a nightmare. It is worse than the little RD I was playing with.

Jake love the trailer.

It will be nice to have another NHRA track so close. I think this will be a good thing for Norwalk. everyone got worked up when we switched, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

Saturday we had the september sizzler. Points are over, but they planned to run for the track championship. My lights were all over the place so I lost to the top champion. Oh well.

The interesting part was the lights and et's I got in the last three runs of the night. Semis of the bike class .488 red and ran 9.666. Time trial for the runoff I ran 9.661. Runoff against the top camaro another .488 red and a 9.666. Scary.
