WTF

L A    B A N D I D A    R A C I N G It was a tough year with really rough and wet salt conditions.  Unfortunately if you had a powerful machine and depended on traction, you were pretty much out of luck.  Lots of folks didn't even run, some streamliners went home straight away, and some folks waited in line for 2 days in the hot sun, hoping the salt would dry, made one run and went home due to the horrible and not so safe conditions. The super rough start line the day before the start Fortunately my club consists of mostly small motorcycles and we fared very well bringing home 5 land speed records to the British Motorcycle Association of Colorado (BMAC).  Congrats to all who came and raced, or tried to race, it was definitely a challenge.

On August 10-16th, 2019, La Bandida Racing and "The Sherminator" return to the Bonneville salt flats, along with team British Motorcycle Racing Association of Colorado (BMAC) and crew members, Mega Mel Downs, Ken Sherman, Zalman Sher and Ben Sher.  It's hot and dry and all reports say the salt is looking good so let's hope it is also fast! The Sherminator is a modified, blown and partially streamlined 1971 Honda SL125 built by John Stoner and Frank Puckett, with support from BMAC.  The BMAC holds 44 land speed records at Bonneville Last year Maria Gerber grabbed the MPS-BF record going 52 mph on The Sherminator, and Kristin Stewart of La Bandida Racing, grabbed the MPS-BG record going 56 mph.  Kristin will be racing in MPS-BF this year. See you on the salt! Email: LaBandidaRacing@gmail.com Instagram: LaBandidaRacing
