I've been busy working on my electric drag bike lately, instead of my
rotary RV-7. That is why I have been silent on the list lately.

This has absolutely nothing to do with rotary aircraft, but I figured
since it is fun for me, it would be enjoyable for other high-performance
nuts as well.

A group of us laptop-toting, pocket protector nerds managed to impress
the ultimate "tough room" of beer swigging tattooed bikers at the All
Harley Drag Racing Association season finale at Las Vegas Drag Strip. We
are the only Non-Harley to run at the Las Vegas event, ever in history.
We set a record while we were at it.
