News Flash:
Just received the news. A127" E85 Ultima powered bike set a new land speed record of 143+ MPH. The previous record holder was a 184" twin engine bike. More to follow as I get it.

 

Update:

For the 2009 season, the bike that started the serious
addiction of the salt was pulled out of retirement to
set again, another record. The last time the bike had
run was with the late Cliff Gullett on the saddle.
Cliff had the time of his life, and so did I.
After contacting Mike Garrison at Midwest, we
decided on a 127 E-85 V-Twin by Ultima. Wink Eller
fabricated a handmade exhaust system. Performance
Machine supplied the Bead lock rear wheel and the
front wheel that is lighter than a poker chip. The
power was transferred to the 5 speed transmission
prepared by Wink Eller via a one to one belt drive
built by Jonny Andersen and Wink Eller at Belt
Drives LTD. The end result was two new Bonneville
land speed records.

Two new Bonneville land speed records:
Class 127 A/PF
The first 148.428 down and 138.945 back for a two way average
of 143.686, 3.494 M.P.H. over the record for a tune up run.
The second 162.123 down and 166.437 back for a two way average
of 164.280, 24.186 M.P.H. over the record set by a 184 C.I.
two engine Harley.
Both new records were set under the entry name
“Spirit of Cliff Gullett” in memory of my friend Cliff.
Many thanks to Midwest Motorcycle Supply, Ultima® Motorworks,
The Gullett Family, Team Bullett and my wife, Dee. I have prepared
the bike and I am ready to run and attempt two more records at El
Mirage Dry lakes at the October 2009 and November 2009 meets.
Thank’s for all your support,
Wink Eller
