Could it be our own member Deepsea?
Deepsea (Michael Cox) is a current world land speed record holder with a twin engine turbo'd Kawasaki he built. A speed freak to the max, Michael took his 2009 concours 14 to El Mirage this summer, and ran 182.013 mph. The engine was stock, the only power mods were a decatted stock header with a 2 brothers 2" midpipe slip on; enlarged ram air intake, and a Shoodaben ECU flash. He did have a shortened windscreen and the mirrors removed.
Michael is also one of those guys whose life story ought to be a movie. He's a retired Navy Saturation Master Diver and his stories from that alone are worth the price of admission. Nerves of steel. He's also an accomplished machinist and welder. He has ridden his race motorcycle at 200 mph with the rear tire coming off the rim :-\ . This is a guy who has btdt... I have nothing but respect for him and his accomplishments.
Here's his time slip from the El Mirage run. Michael did it so you and I don't have to! Thanks Michael! :beerchug:
