Good luck, Rickey! 
I know Jim has put a lot of time into the 14 cylinder head. 
In fact, he is doing one for me...and not just a Supersport head, either.

LSR takes a lot of commitment, time, travel, and money...not so different from dragracing. It would be hard to do both full-time.
I believe this is his first LSR event ever; should be interesting!

pretty funny to think that he's been faster in the 1/4 mile than most have been in the mile.

Thanks for the link CR, neat to see my sons name mentioned in the article. When Chad ran the 221+ pass on DaveO's bike it was in June and it was hot, Dave had picked up some hp and was doing a shakedown pass in order to turn the bike over to Chad to go after Knecum & DeLuca in the cooler September weather but it never happened on that tragic day.
Rickeys nephew Lil Richard called a couple times today and said RG's best pass has been 215 but they were geared too tall only turning like 10,400 thru the traps. More to come for sure.
I know the turbo bikes gather the news because of the unreal / awesome speeds but man I love them all motor bikes!!!!

Ricky ran 215 yesterday, without the 12 mph tailwind they had when the 221 record was made.

Ricky ran a 217 today but unfortunately hurt the engine. Still a heck of a first event for both bike and rider. LSL
