Hey Marty - If my memory serves me correctly, Korry crashed because his ignition system somehow grounded out against his arm as he was going down track. So he was essentially being tasered at 200+ mph. Crazy stuff!!

Presently - 1980 KZ1000B4 LTD w/mild ported head, Megacycle cams, 1015cc Wiseco, Falicon Supercrank, R&D undercut trans
In a former life - KZ-based dragbike - CrMo car tire chassis, 1395cc, Hahn Racecraft turbo system, VP C16, Orient Express 3-spd auto, 7.80's @ 165-170.

Hi Mike. Been awhile! Hope things are good!
I sold off the Kaws! Workin' on an old Vintage Ironhead Sporty.
Sure wish I kept the PM parts you sold me!!!! (ouch).
That Top Fuel bike crashed again in Martin, MI. There is youtube video of it
After Puppet died, Jesse Stefan (racevisions re-born RVR) built a new chassis. But Alwine / Dryden gave up! $$$$
Sure miss the good ol' days! IDBA / Prostar / SCRA at Piedmont! Regular tracks with car events, gave us the grass / gravel pit area's. They treated us like 2nd. class racers!
"Bikes make ready"! Loved hearing that on the PA!

Marty in Buffalo
