2008 Speed Trials by Bub
by Eric Manning September 22, 2008
Well it was a mixed week. We had a handling problem that was causing us some issues, but the good news is that everything else on the machine worked perfect. The engine ran like a top and the new frame system worked great. We knew that any new machine of it's kind would have it's gremlins. We are going to be testing within the next 2 months with the steering corrected and then be at the salt this spring for high speed testing at private time. |

This project is to attain the fastest
50cc motorcycle ever run. Last year we achieved an AMA & FIM
record of 77.128 in the Modified Partial Streamlined class, fuel
class. (Methanol).
To reach our ultimate goal we are splitting
our development into three phases:
- In 2007 we ran with basically a stock
frame, focusing our effort on engine development.
- Phase II is a transitional motorcycle.
It is between a partial streamlined conventional motorcycle and
a full streamliner.
- Phase III is a full streamliner
(rider fully enclosed) such as those you see in the larger
displacement classes.
Engine:
- Aprilia RS 50 2002 Motor
- Methanol Fuel with Readline Oil Premix
- Metrakit: Engine modifications ( Cylinder,
Piston, Crank, Primary, Reeds)
- Pingel: Nitrous Express Kit, remote starter,
accessories
- Barnett Clutch
Carbureting:
- Custom Fuel Injection with NX control
Frame:
- Custom Aluminum alloy frame designed ground up for land speed racing. Using BUB Racing Laser & CNC press brake we now have a rigid, but lightweight alternative to standard tube construction.
