VincentHill,... in Super Streetbike magazine....
Picked up this rag at the supermarket. Looked like a "stunters" mag, something new. Figured there'd be some customs to leer at(nice 12 on p 70). Well, guess what I see on pg 48. None other than ol' VH in an article about Maxton. Way to go Vince.

Every one gets a prayer and with your name included! (You know that is supposed to help  ) OldKawboy's Son was the first person that saw it and I knew nothing? I was looking for the article in Motorcyclist Magazine.
On the serious side, the writer apologized for the "Hip-Hop" style of writing ("Sent Packing" etc). He said that those were NOT his words and some other things were changed.
Since I am in company that knows me (a little), the article was accurate. I really did not even think of myself as a "Threat" to what they were doing until one of them called me over to suggest another class where there were no records. Now to the things the article did not say:
#1, That was also "MY" first time there with NOS
#2, The guys that owned the bike and bike had "5" Years of experience doing this, I had "5" Weekends (09/02, 10/02, 04/03, 05/03 and that meet 10/03 so not even 5 weekends)
#3, I was spraying on a stock engine a 50 shot of NOS with no heating blanket (Read the longer you spray, the colder the bottle gets and the lower the HP so about 215 to 225 HP Max). They were using a 100 shot of NOS, Air shifter, heating blanket, lock up clutch and engine work for about 260 HP.
Take all of this along with the fact that I had broken my NOS Button on the second run and had the 100% throttle postion switch only to activate the NOS, meant that even on launch, I was hitting over 200 HP which spun the tire and cooled the bottle and only ended up 3 MPH Short. For a person that weighed 100 pounds "More" with the same amount of REAL experience with NOS, I did not feel too bad
Now you can understand why I have not been back and doing what I am about the Pistons, Studs, Ti retainers, Race Valve Springs and setting the bike up for a 150 shot of NOS. This will not happen again! (At least not with that BUSA!)

Personally, I Apologize to the 12 owners that I did not have everything done and changed the ending of his story where I really was a Bast--d and took his record away in the end! (It was fun watching them all come over after each run to see what my speed was. After all, standing on the side lines, you cannot see the difference between 199.3 and 202.3!)

Next time Vince. Call 'em up and ask for a re-match. A little friendly feud is always good for publicity.

I noticed the article just today! thought it was super cool to put a face to the name. It seemed that the author gave you a great deal of respect in the way that he refered to you VH. Keep it up!

Maybe the way he was trained to respect his elders? After all, I am old enough to be his dad's Dad!
I hope I did not scare the Be-Jesus out of anyone with my picture?
