I saw him run that Chevy engine bike here in town,at New England Dragway.I was probably 14 at the time.I was curious about how he took off with the bike up on the stand.He was pretty nice explaining it to us kids.He had that rear stand guaged to hold the tire a certain distance above the ground.when the lights on the christmas tree started coming down he would start to rev it.When he got to a certain RPM the tire would expand from centrifugal force,and strike the ground.Then he was off.He ran a consistant 160 at that track.He smoked that tire the whole length of the strip.He told us to watch him from the rear also.He didn't go straight,that bike was at an angle from the torque all the way down the strip.I can remember him coming down the return lane,no hands on the bars,pulling his helmet off,and the guy handing him his timing slip as he idled by the little timing shack.He had no clutch so he couldn't stop for it.
