Maxton Pics (October 2002 Event)
640x480 resolution photos are up now however it will be a couple days before the 1024x768 high res shots and the opening page are ready. Here is the link http://www.dontbescaredracing.com/photos/events/102602/lowres/
Team Dont Be Scared Racing

Left to right Rich Grove (U LOSE), Bergie (RAC4IT), and Joe Gaudette (94YZF).
Vince Hill's 180hp ZX12R

Teamwork prepping for non-streamliner runs


Bergie (RAC4IT)


Yeah that's the "hill climber" Vince mentioned! Extended swingarms more than 60" are useless at Maxton.
Wheelspin? Even a Shinko tire wouldn't hook!


Getting 204 MPH down in one-mile is not easy, traction is a issue anything less than 5th gear!
Vince Hill


Rich, Vince and Mr. Land Speed Racing Scott Guthrie

Rich, Bergie and Joe on the line. Joe rides our two-time 750cc class record holder (on the right).
More pics and video will be on the website later this week.

Bergie..... Would it be legal to still run your ram air snorkle with the bike naked???? If you could build a bracket for it to mount off you upper mount that hold the mirrors you might possibly build more power as you ram air is still in full use..... Just a thought.....

I was just analyzing video from Maxton, I've made a serious discovery!! I found that the kidneybelt on my leathers was creating massive aerodynamic DRAG! :o Check out these video capture snapshots of me on the red 12R crossing the line at 191 mph! That's got to be slowing me down!


What the hell is that! It's coming off next time!

VH- In this video of one of your runs it appears that a slip of paper flies out of your pocket on the 1-2 shift?

Thanks, I needed that! That was the paper towel that I could not find that I used to wipe the sweat from my face (or for other things if I scare myself )! Thanks for "NOT" putting that one run on there where I "DID" surprise myself!

RAC4IT, Id like to know more about the 1290 engine you've got. How many miles since stroker crank? Any problems associated with it? Hows the drivability compared to stock? Also what did it cost installed and what kind of power does it make. does the stroker crank give busa like low end and is high rpm power retained? I'm going to do the 1290 here soon and I'd like to know what to expect. I'd like to keep the stock bore. Thanks 12SPEED!!!

Hey Bergie, That Mopar show post made me think of your pictures! It came to me that maybe you were trying to emulate the old Dodge Daytona or Plymouth Superbird with that wing on your rearend!
