Nice one Dave.
I think the first three are Bob Prior who sold his bike to Steve Barnett who holed pistons at around 146 on the salt.
The late Bill Calcutt from the UK - more than 100hp on a zero dollar budget.
The last bike I don't recognize but it looks purdy.
All we need now is a good picture of Brett at speed and Kevin (Watercooled) smoking the H2s.
What about Echo - Steve Hamilton from the UK's neat GT750. Anyone got any recent pictures of that bike?

That black and rainbow bike was on ebay a while back. I can't remember if it sold or not but the price was around 2-2500.

Great post Dave...yes, the first few are Bob Prior and it looks like his ET target was 9.95 on the Kettleution. I'm not sure if he broke into the 9's but I can ask him.
The Plasti Dip bike is Gary Tonglett's but I dont know how fast the bike went.
I've never seen the orange bike (the one next to Bob Priors). Dave or Richard, do you know who owns that?

Chainsaw,
Are you planning on racing this season...there are 3 AMA races this year for the 2-stroke guys. First is in mid June at Martin, MI, then Aug at Indy and Oct at Norwalk OH.
Dust one of those Kaws off and swap some gears..

Thats a great article on Bill Calcutt's bike. It seemed like he set the bike up for drag only but in a street legal class. I'll have to re-read the article but it doesnt seem that it is really streetable to ride, just street legal.
