So you have been looking at our trophy for fast time on a bike at World of
Speed. Herb Harris brought the actual bike back to the salt three years ago
during World of Speed.  Jeff Decker showed his bronze sculpture of the run
and they took photos.  To see the full size (40 inch) version click on
http://www.hippodromestudio.com/gallery.html and scroll down to the "Flat
Out at Bonneville" pictures.  Jeff did a wonderful job on that sculpture and
our trophy is his 13 1/2 inch miniature of that.

The winner last year, Jim Owen,  beat out the Amo boys by a faction of a
mile per hour on the last run of the meet.  Nice to see a sit-on bike get
top speed.
