That was amazing! Forget nads of steel.... those are made of titanium!

That he did. His runs in order for the weekend went as follows - 5.728 @ 248.98, 5.677 @ 250.74, 5.726 @ 258.27, blew the tyres off it on a first round solo, 5.746 @245.14 and in the final went 5.611 @ 249.49

No 5 point harness, no Hans, no roll cage, no remote shutoff. I am totally in awe of this man's courage. The only other guy who comes close is Captain Jack.

Wait a minute ... you just posted a couple of weeks ago about a doorslammer in the 5.40s as the "run of the year". How many runs of the year can there be???

LOL

That post you speak of said "one of the runs of the year"

This one right here is THE run of the year but I am biased as I am a fuel bike guy, and have a new toy (fuel bike) to work on come Xmas.

I’m curious how different his tune up now is different from What Elmer ran? Now granted Elmer never saw fives...

Has Larry matched race Petter Swensson? That would be worth seeing!

I would file that under "testicular fortitude."

They raced in the Man Cup Finals in 2013. Sadly Peter has not run his bike for a few years now.

A lot has changed on the bikes since. A lot has changed since Larry ran his first 5, so it is hard to say. Elmer would have been in the 5’s had the rain not halted the Prostar race at Indy. That 6.06 he ran is still a jaw dropper. That day he said the bike just wanted more fuel, so he kept putting more fuel through the motor and it kept going quicker.

Well I remember Larry telling me around 98-99? That he redesigned his Cylinder head to accommodate more fuel!

Best I ever saw Peter run was a 6.14 at Indy in 97-98?

 

[Toejam]

It’s sad that the only time I had the chance to see Elmer run he ended up losing his life!

Larry's motor is considerable bigger, it burns way more fuel. That weeks numbers, besides an awesome race track was helped by the laid back pipes.
You will notice the APE sticker just behind the back of the seat...Yes I have parts in that thing.
