Here's the information on the Bike above from the RPM Cycle web site
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPM Cycle's Alcohol Nitro Fuel Injected Triumph 'Bonneville Racer' Project.
Sponsored by RPM Cycle, Craig Murray and Chicks Harley Davidson of Albuquerque, NM. This bike has a Triumph T-140 motor, Hilborn fuel injection system and a Nourish crank. The head was machined to accept two spark plugs per cylinder which required the fabrication of a new primary case and the addition of a second magneto (see photos).
We had hoped to run 150+ mph plus at the Bonneville Salt Flats this year breaking the existing record of 134 mph in the APS-750 PF Class held by a Harley XR-750. We came close but the meet was cancelled on Wednesday due to heavy rain and winds Tuesday and Tuesday night.
Bonneville Salt Flats Race Week Updates:
Saturday - 8/13/05
Nitro Racer (750cc APS-PF) piloted by Craig Murray ran once on the short track but had to abort the run and turned-out prior to the quarter mile point due to poor track conditions.
Sunday - 8/14/05
They drug the short course Saturday night and it was in very good condition Sunday...for a while.
Craig Murray who needs to go through the licensing process ran twice with a top speed of 128.548 during his first run. That's fast enough to advance him to the next license of between 150 and 175 mph. I'm sure he can taste a new speed record. His run today was only 5 mph away from the existing record for his class.
Monday:
The Nitro Racer has made a best run of 128 MPH but had piston and ring problems requiring a new top end.
Tuesday:
Right now it is raining with some pretty heavy winds. Vehicles have not yet left the impound for return runs, looks like they will run tomorrow instead.
Wednesday:
Meet is cancelled due to water on the track.
The meet is cancelled due to track condition after Tuesday's rain.
