Anybody been for the World of Speed? Been watching Speed Channel, and now I'm intrigued, and want to go check it out.

Go rent a movie called the World's Fastest Indian. Cool story about speed running there.
Rick, I've been twice and it is pretty cool. If you were interested, let me know, I'd go again.

Its a plan. OP6C WORLD OF SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick...we will be there in Aug. Were runnin the world record holder for 1000cc motorcycles. The record is held by my bro's dad....208 MPH at 75 years old.
GSXR 1100 sleeved down to 1000cc, twin turbocharged, hilborn injected (nightmare!!).
Over 320 HP on the dyno, (tire hazed at 320, couldnt hold the back of the bike down!!).
Watch the movie as Outcoled said, Its amazing how realistic the movie is.
They broadcast the runs on FM radio, so you know whats going on.
Weather permitting they will run the short and long course, if so it is fun to watch, they let the licence runs and the slower classes run the short course and the big guns run the long course, makes for much better viewing. Dont be expecting to see a whole lot as the end of the long course isnt visible from the start line. Hook up with me before and I can take you to the finish line, its fun to see the cars doing 200 plus.
Dont make the rookie mistake, do no go commando...had a friend come over from England, the sun's reflection off the salt burned his little British balls!!!!
Make hotel reservations early, Wendover Utah/Nevada is close to the track (5 miles).
I think they charge $25 for the week, or $10 a day to get in.
