Now that you are famous.....fas a result of the Hot Bike feature we need to hear moe about you. Many of the newer members probably do not know some of your background so I thought that I would throw a few questions out there for you ....... So KAz - how did you get started in racing - and motorcyles? What kind of bikes have you ridden in the past and what type of racing have you been invovled with (both car and bike)......KSP

P.S Sponsors and Pit Crew Needed!!!!!!! :thumb:

what I wanna know is was all that money worked for, inheirited, or won in the lotto :angeldev:

Kaz - that is pretty exciting stuff - What is the goal speed - the record that you are chasing - BTW I was playing around doing a little research on LSR - note that they have recently begun requiring special leathers with no perforation or ventilation material (could be an opportunity to move into a more conservative scheme if you are going for such an ambitious goal)- also I believe steering damper required to run - I am sure you may be aware of this but wouldn't want you to be left standing at the tech schack..... Are you looking at any special fairings to help on the aerodynamics? Have you considered runs at the lake beds or Houston or Maxton.... This is pretty exciting stuff - and quite dangerous - how did you allow yourself to drift from the drag strip to thinking about Land Speed Racing......

What do you do for a living that a client would give you a v-rod as a gift?

The Harley Record is 167+ the V-twin record is 189+!My Crew Chief Daniel Wright is The Head Tech INSPECTOR for USFRA and Tech Adviser for the Event so I'm Coved there!"Thanks ;) Sandy has a Prototype Carbon Fiber Fairing were a Retro fitting on 1 of My 3 Bikes he will be working on,but Most Likely my Turbo Bonneville Bike!BSF is Like the Indy 500 of SPEED!It's the Ultimate!I got tired of Not having a Class I was Legal or Competitive to race in and Got Tired just a Few Seconds of Fun!I hooked up with the Right People and God Willing History will be Made!Nobody has done a Top speed Run on a V-rod yet so I want to be the one to Set the Bar!!!!!!!!!!!!! :kaz:



p.s on the Other Note I have been Very Blessed in My Life :angelwin: ,and Have had Some Incredible Generous Clients over the Years! :notworth:
I still Need Sponsors Though! :thumb:
Speed Cost Money and I wanna Go REAL FAST!!!!!! :eek:

I want to do what he does. What do you do besides race Kaz?

And Kaz may you continue to be blessed...... and I hope you find a good sponsor - you certainly could provide some strong promotion within the VROD community - the best in that regard - that should be very attractive to a potential sponsor.... How were you able to figure out the top Harley speed - I tried to research the records and was never able to figure it out - will you be running a specific class... with that Turbo you should certainly be able to make some miles per hour - but do be careful - things can get messy quick at those high speeds - and I hear the salt is a bit slickery also. Maybe we can do a feature on your effort at VRODRacing - you would be the first article....anyway - is your turbo up and running at this point - have you done any testing - how about the big bore, turbo, NOS set up that you mentioned - what is the status there - hell that scares me just thinking about it - do you think that it will be able to stay together? And you are projecting 350HP? Is that a Sam @ Turbotec custom build? .....KSP

lets see ,, he lives in vegas ,, has generous clients ,, hmmmmmmm how do you say "gigilo" in polish ??? :hidesbeh:

P.S.
Kevin,
give me a E-mail that I can forward You a bunch of Race info you can use for you story.

Kaz - kspz3@vrodracing.com - I will also forward you some of the research work I did on the Vincent runs from the 50s - they got to 185 MPH (Russel Wright and Robert Burns - Sidecar 163MPH) streamlined but fairly stock motor - and you may remember Rollie Freeze "The Bathing Suit" guy that did 150 MPH in 1948 on Bonneville - Coming up on 50 years for the NZ Vincent records.... They went to Bonneville in 1955 did 198 burning 20% Nitro - that was the end of an era of production motorcyles holding the all out motorcycle speed records - streamlined rockets from then on. Ironworks did a 165MPH machine awhile back - I am not sure what engine that they used - I may try for a High Speed pass at Maxton this fall - but running the alternate machine/you know the kind w/4 cylinders, fairings etc. ..... I thought about doing a stock VROD run (hoping for 150MPH) down there but not sure if I want to play with high speed on the VROD + I do not have a steering damper setup either - that would be a great project for Sandy - especially a nicely integrated unit that mounts either above or below the triple tree. Of course Maxton and Bonneville are two dramatically differant things - Maxton is only trap speed at end of a mile compared to the two way pass and measured mile. North of 185MPH is a pretty scary zone if you are chasing that 189 VTWIN record that you mentioned earlier - from a traction and aerodynamics perspective - I was intimidated by a custom fairing setup - since it introduces some unknowns - There was a good article I believe www.landspeed.com a guy that did 250 on Busa wrote it - goes into the whole traction, tires, fairings discussion. Again Kaz you are going way beyond were my heart will allow me to go - PLEASE be careful in your pursuits - you are playing with all the marbles here...... Be sure to run a disciplined test program and progressive build up of speed on the salt - records can wait.... if need be - STAY SAFE and GodSpeed!

Kaz - your mail box is full - I PM'd a reply but it was rejected - I will follow your lead as desired as we move forward......

Have you been editing this thread

Kaz, go for it. If you`re not the lead dog the veiw never changes.

What is classified as a streamliner? Aaron wilsons Buell with RR bodywork & I believe a 1650cc V-twin went 202.989 at Bonneville a couple years ago.

I thought that was the record? Or is any bike with a fairing considered a streamliner?

as I understand it there are several degrees of streamlining ,, the biggest chore at bonneville is the endurance of the motor to withstand WOT for the entire measured mile vs the speed traps of maxton ,,, also I believe it was Don Vesco that mentioned training your self to not combat the bikes dendency to drift around on the salt

I can barely keep up w/ the drag racing groups and the different classes & requirements of each. What little I've seen on the flats , there are many many classifications. If you ride a 2 - stroke Honda and run with one eye closed the record is...... he he he That part was a joke, but there really does seem to be a bunch of classifications to run. Which is good, kinda like Bracket racing, if there was only one motorcycle class, and it was only heads up, the guy with the $$ wins. ( most of the time.) money buys tech, and riders and well you know, Vance & Hines! he he he

on the other hand I was watching PBS in the middle of the night not long ago ( I know...get a life) and some unknown showed up out there with a turbo Busa and beat that record by a HUGE margin! He had never been there before! he he he so there goes my $$ theory maybe. ok disregard all the first part of this post ..he he he

good luck on your endeaver Kaz! Ride safe.
