After setting a land speed record on her XB9 Buell, Erika was honored by her younger sister Karlee with the privilege of making a pass on the final day of racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats on her supercharged Dyna-MITE lowrider. She made her first pass at 136 for the shakedown and came back down. Karlee went to the tower and got a mistake slip that said 118 mph.
As the final day of racing has come, the Klock Werks team is on the Salt and in line as we speak. Here is the most recent update from Brian from the Salt this morning:
Greetings from the "hurry up and wait game" that is Bonneville Salt Flat racing. They ran a record 363 passes just on Wednesday was the unofficial word we got yesterday but the wait time was still 2 hours plus early in the morning.
Word from late yesterday was Chris Degen went over 131 mph, Karlee was over 150 mph, and Erika and Michelle were both close to 140 mph! Way to go Team Klock Werks!
The Klock Werks Race team is extremely busy and focused as they battle the "Great White Dyno" today. Making passes and getting right back in line for return passes.
