Richard Assen has been having his fair share of problems,, has been making a lot of changes to try and get on top of the traction and handling issues on the wet salt, however tomorrow being the last day, recons he is gunna go like the clappers

Jim has been struggling to make 200 nakid ---197 I think
Terry set a record in SC/VF 1350 at around 120 -- still having fuel issues. He's talking about next year already

Howdy all . Just an update on the Vincent Racing Team now that were back in OZ.
We also run at the BUB meet entered in AMA . Our first run on the existing 122mph , 1350cc modified /vintage gas record was a 151mph run . Running in the opposite direction on our back up run I completly fried the clutch. I took over some second hand but usable plates so we got them in for the next day. Again we run a 151 and this time backed it up with another 150 run to give us the class record . The motor was sealed by the AMA officials and we then put the fairing on to run in the Modified Partially streamlined / vintage gas class . Our first Run was just over 162 mph on an open record . We then turned it around to head back toward the I 80 interstate for the back up Run . Into a 10 mile an hour head / crosswind we run another 162mph pass setting the record at this speed .
In total we did 11 runs between the Speed Week and BUB events . One run was a 138 mph rookie run at speed week . 9 were over 150mph and 4 were over 161 mph , 1 turn out with the fried clutch . We have returned home with 2 SCTA records and 2 AMA records and with the bike still in one peice (a bit rattley though)!
Id like to thank the crew and everyone who has supported ,us in making this happen . It was a fantastic experience that will not be forgotten .
Good luck to Greg and every one competing at the world finals .
Regards Mal and the Vincent crew.
