Spyder Dream (2008 Can-Am Spyder SM5) with the #888 will attempt a FIM and AMA class record-breaking: Boneville, UT August 25-30, 2012 @ BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials.

[Capt John]

Good luck Doc! Are you trying to break the 130 mph mark?

Is BRP sending a pit crew in August? ;)I think SethO got around 119mph so Doc's attempt ought to go OK. They will classify the modified bikes (i.e. Turbocharged) with the stock bikes. One thing I noticed with Seth's runs last year was that with that fat rear tire, the thing would climb up on the salt at around 119mph. It was like it was hydroplaining on the salt. That combined with the enormous drag meant that he wasn't going any faster. More power won't help this situation. Maybe Doc can make a couple of changes. A narrower rear tire might help. I don't know what to do about the drag.
Just my $0.02

Nahhh... Just the wrong Spyder...
I've got a fellow that I insure who SWEARS that he was clocked by the local LEOs at 137mph... I suggested to him that he head West to the Salt Flats since the record is obviously his; all he needs to do is go pick it up! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_5.gif

[Firefly]

I'll be in Durango --- might have to alter my plans and swing over to the flats.

I agree that HP is only gonna do so much---- need to work on aerodynamic changes in my opinion. Cover headlights and front wheel wells, etc.....

And thus the question is begged, are you taking both?

[Cal777]

Doc, we're all pulling for you!!!!!!!!
Rudy

[SethO]

kick some ass out there doc, you should make sure that you have your gas lines covered in a anti fire coding or steel or steel braided outside. I got away with not doing this but you will get the record so I would make sure to ask and just have them wrapped in something.
The head guy is from MI and I can't remember his damn name. but if you call the fim they will know him and he could clarify this issue.


The other things you will need to do is drill your front lug nuts and have them safety wired.

Also you have to have the front and rear fenders NO lower than the center of the axles so I just cut my fronts and did not have my rear on.

Anything else you got questions on for them I would also talk to tom santa claus anderson from Siren, WI he is awesome and know's everyone out there.

[NancysToy]

The fireproof sleeves for the gas lines should be available locally in a large city. I got mine in Grand Rapids.

[docdoru]

Obviously there must be a class for a trike but I couldn't find it in the rules. Did I miss it?
Considered a trike and can compete only for the FIM; in my case the class is: Category 1, Group B3, Division A, Type II, Class 10.

Yesterday was raining on the Salt so no run for the 250 bikes (AMA and FIM). Today is the tech inspections (FIM).

And also where the shark are congregating! :shocked:

[arntufun]

Doc, your Spyder looks good without all that touring stuff on it !!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

[NancysToy]

:( The one year I managed to make it to the Flats, that was our situation, too. Rainouts are no fun...especially if you traveled thousands of miles to compete.

[MickeyFisher]

Get it, Doc!! :popcorn:

[BajaRon]

The only competitor today on the Salt was Michael Phelps:


He must be pretty fast... I don't see him anywhere! And he must be pretty smooth because I don't see a wake!

Is it going to dry up in time for you to run or are you going to compete it the watercraft category?

[Bob Denman]

Jetskis at 05:30?? :thumbup:

[docdoru]

International Course 5 miles, bike #888: 126.239 mph.

Congratulation on the 126 MPH. How does it feel at 140?

You need the low sodium diet for the fastest Spyder.:doorag:

[effgjamis]

Hey Doc.... looks as if you gained about 30lbs of salt. that extra weight will slow your average. I think..

Have many more great runs.

[effgjamis]

He must be pretty fast... I don't see him anywhere! And he must be pretty smooth because I don't see a wake!

Well done!

It was flooded like that when we were there at this time last year. Did you wash it at the car wash as you exit the Salt Flats raceway? The motorcycles were absolutely caked in it.

[SethO]

that salt gets everywhere

[SethO]

how fast did you get today doc?

[SethO]

128.4mph combine and now doc has the record !!!!!!!!! Didn't just talk about it, he went and did it, on his own. Ratts off to you doc, your them man

So what's the plan for 2013's run? Have you figured out what approach you'll take to up the record?
Aerodynamics, boost pressure... :dontknow:

Change back tire profile, add 8,800 RPM red leds monitor, mini GPS speedometer and....loose weight (7lbs= 1 HP!). :yikes:

[NancysToy]

It's official! Doc, you are the man! :clap::clap::clap:

The ratification process did take place at the CCR (Road Race) Commission meeting in Valencia on November 12th 2012. The Spyder Dream record was homologated http://www.fim-live.com/en/sport/world-records-attempts/events/manifestation-detail/item/event/bub-motorcycle-speed-trials-3/ .

Congratz!!!!:bowdown:

[Bob Denman]

Doc,
Are you allowed to play around with the tire sizing much?
Does anybody make a 145/75-R14 tire for the fronts? That might make a big difference in the aerodynamics package. :thumbup:

I'd like to offer my CONGRATULATIONS to you also, Doc
I'm real proud of you !!!! :clap:

So Doc,
Are you allowed to tinker with aerodynamics in our class? Does anybody make a narrower front tire that could be used on the Spyders?

Front tires...
A 145/75-14
or
155/70-14
would work out to just about the same overall diameter and revolutions per mile.

Does anybody make anything in those sizes?? :dontknow:

Benchracing on "Mahogany Ridge"... powered by bull:cus:
I've got an insured here who swears that he was clocked on radar at 137mph... I mentioned that he should take his bike to Bonneville since it's obviously in contention for a lot of land speed records. ;)
