Single exhaust pipe on right?  Looks like header pipes fed just the right pipe?

Edit...maybe not.  Did a zoom in.  Something looks different there tho....

A chute is good until the bike drops to a speed slow enough to let the chute collapse.

Then you'd better hope you've got good thick soles on yer boots    Cheesy

Check the right bar, the back brakes may have been moved to the hand position.

It's a Landspeed bike. They've got miles to stop.

I've always wanted to go to Speed Week. It's on my bucket list.

My google-fu could only pull up a single reference from airworks facebook page.  They said just under 130 MPH

yeah, seems like not the best track conditions for the run,
can't find anything on the bike owner's site either
pretty soon we'll hear from the guys who got better than that on their stock bikes with windshields and two up-just wait for it

  That's moving alright. Of course Dragbars bike is/was blown. Haled from right down the road in Hendersonville. Tennessee. There were several blown bikes in the southeast when everyone was figuring out how to make them work. Jeff K is about the only one of the original guys still around.
