@godspeedco asked me what goes thru my mind before a race and spent some time in the paddock with me at Barber '16 while prepping to go out on the track, resulting in this nice writeup-- thanks for your time, talent, and thoughtfulness Chris! <<link in profile>> #Repost #godspeedco ・・・ @triplenickel555 | 'As I complete my warm-up lap and approach the grid, the rhythm of the engine oscillating as my hand pulses the throttle keeping the engine primed helping to contain the adrenaline that’s coursing.' 😲⚡️#honda #hondacb #vintagemotorcycle #vintageracing #motorcycle #ahrma . #ironwoodracing #deusracing #alpinestars #bellpowersports #esmbracing #triplenickel555 #barbervintagefestival (at Barber Motorsports Park)

I mean, seriously, how lucky can a girl be? To be the best you need the best support, and I definitely have that. Kristin knocked it out of the park as Chase Truck Driver. Couldn't ask for a more encouraging, enthusiastic, and compassionate Crew; and Smokey, well we all know Smokey runs the show. Now all I need to do is find more hp in the Little Italian Harley. . #esmbracing #sisterhood #landspeedracing #ontheroadtospeed #redwingheritagewomen #smokeyismycopilot 05/21/17 (at El Mirage Dry Lake Bed)

racie CRTT bits arrived today from Cycle Performance Products in North Carolina. The good stuff! - CRTT piston assembly. - 30mm carburetor. - 27mm manifold. - front sprocket options. basically HP in a box, John Bisore drives a hard bargain! Who else is going to have an unused NOS CRTT piston?! At Corsa Fred Mork gave me a CRTT exhaust he wasn't using anymore. So you know where you can find me! Lots of shop hours ahead. May 20 is right around the corner. . #thisiswhyimbroke #ontheroadtospeed #landspeedracing #aermacchi #harleydavidson #crtt#ironwoodracing #deusracing #esmbracing #scta

Smokey says: "Woof!". . Happy #raceprep weekend. The new bearings and tires are installed and balanced while the tank is with Jim Granger getting restored and repainted back to stock. . Every part that comes off requires 2hrs of cleaning to remove the 50yrs of dirt and oil on top of more dirt and oil. . #ontheroadtospeed #ironwoodracing #deusracing #esmbracing #landspeedracing #aermacchi #harleydavidson #worldwidebearings #avontyres #smokeyismycopilot
