Team Hellcat 2.0

In 2012, I wrote a blog post about my Twitter friend Jase, aka @hellcatcustoms and his attempt to set a Land Speed Record at Bonneville (which he was successful in doing). Last year (2013), Team Hellcat Customs was ready for another attempt at Bonneville, but sadly, it was canceled due to bad weather.  I was really excited for the 2013 attempt as Team Hellcat was going to be running multiple bikes at Bonneville.

After waiting an entire year, Team Hellcat is ready and looking to conquer Bonneville again!  I am happy to be one of the sponsors for Team Hellcat and I am looking forward to following this year's adventure! If you want to sponsor, you still can - click here.

Like last year, I am very excited for Team Hellcat as they embark on their journey to set Land Speed Records at Bonneville!  As you may recall, Team Hellcat set world record times last year on a Harley Davidson Turbo-powered Sportster with a side car!

This year, they are heading back to Bonneville to attempt to set two additional Land Speed Records...two bikes, two riders!  Kelly Rogers aka @FieryPinkGirl will be one of the two riders from Team Hellcat to attempt to set a Land Speed Record at Bonneville.  Kel put a call out for sponsors earlier this year and achieved her goal, I am happy that I could be part of that!  Next stop for Team Hellcat, Bonneville!

Team Hellcat Version 2

Last September, I was glued to Twitter following Team Hellcat Customs and their attempt to set a new Land Speed Record at Bonneville on a turbo powered Harley Davidson Sportster with a sidecar!  I was thrilled when I heard that Jase and his team set a new world record!

***UPDATE: September 9th, 2012 - Jase and the team from Hellcat Customs set a new 

"Land Speed Record" at Bonneville, CONGRATULATIONS Team Hellcat!***

Several months back I wrote a blog post about two of my Twitter friends, Jase & Kel and their goal to raise money for a "Land Speed Record" on a Turbo-charged Sportster!

With the support of many of their friends, they met their fundraising goal and are now at the Bonneville Salt Flats to attempt to set a Land Speed Record on a Turbo-charged Sportster with a sidecar...how cool is that!  Jase and his team at Hellcat Customs built the machine and it's time to set that record!  I can only imagine how excited that Jase and Kel are!  Heck, I am thousands of miles from Bonneville and I am excited for them...I can hardly wait for the online updates!

I am sure that Jase will have the same feeling as Burt Munro's character in the World's Fastest Indian when Burt says "You live more in five minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime."

So here's to Jase and Kel, go kick some ass and set a new Land Speed Record!

Land Speed Record Attempt

As mentioned in a previous blog post, two people I really enjoy following on Twitter are Kel, AKA @FieryPinkGirl and her partner Jase, AKA @hellcatcustoms.  Jase builds custom motorcycles, Hellcat Customs in Arizona and has shared his motorcycle expertise with me on several occasions

In September, Jase will be traveling to the Bonneville Salt Flats to attempt to set a Land Speed Record on a turbo powered Sportster with a sidecar attached...sounds cool, eh?  Jase is currently seeking funding to assist in setting this record.  His team is almost half way to their funding goal of $5000.00

Last week I offered my support to Jase and his team!  Check out the poster above and visit Jase's
Turbo Sidecar Land Speed Record Attempt Funding page!  Everyone who offers support, will have an opportunity to win a Custom Painted Les Paul II Guitar...the chance to win the Les Paul II is a cool fact itself!

So, here's your chance to say that you supported a "Land Speed Record" attempt and to win a Custom Painted Les Paul II Guitar!  Wishing Kel, Jase and the Hellcat Team luck in achieving their goal!

Hellcat Customs

Two people I really enjoy following on Twitter are Kel AKA @FieryPinkGirl and her partner Jase AKA @hellcatcustoms. Although we have never met in person, you can tell by their tweets that they are genuine and that they are good people. Jase builds custom motorcycles, Hellcat Customs in Arizona and has shared his motorcycle expertise with me on several occasions. In the past, I have asked him technical questions about my Buell 1125R and he is always eager to respond. Today Kel posted a link to a YouTube video that shows a custom prototype bike that Hellcat Customs built for Motorcycle Travel America, a custom trike with front end tilt steering. It is so cool that I just have to embed it in my blog! Enjoy!
