This should start a whole new round of discussions about folks who "know a guy" who had his Spyder up to 137mph... :roflblack:

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.

that salt gets everywhere

 

[SethO]

[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

Day 2 with problems

Second day on the Salt in the staging area:

Did in the morning 3 runs and after that....LIMP MODE = overheating (all engine temperature bars).
Looks like déjà vu 2010. Load the Spyder on the trailer and direction Salt Lake City.
At High Adventure Power Sports and Marine did shake hands with the entire 2 years ago team and Gary Chandler start working:

The defective "Walmart" part: thermostat housing...

...and they have the part in the store inventory! Here is the new part installed:

Thank you High Adventure Power Sports and Marine and Gary:

Lesson to be learned by Can-Am Spyder Dealers: keep new parts in the INVENTORY!

After 90 min, going back to Bonneville to complete the race.

 

[Big Arm]

A three hr. trip, each direction, :yikes: for a cheap plastic part ! :banghead:
