289 mph right there! .

Top 1 Ack Attack - Top of the World Land Speed Trial at Salar De Uyuni Salt flats in Bolivia have concluded with Ironwood Racing victorious. . Congratulations to Shane Tecklenburg on his master tuning and Carpenter Racing for the engine performance. There is no match to Ralph's slippery fairing design, fabrication, and dedication to preparation. The journey has been an awesome process to witness and be apart of. Now it's time for Bonneville! . Thank you for all the fast and safe thoughts, they worked! . Ralph Hudson is now the 2nd fastest sit-on motorcycle ever. 1st fastest is Bill Warner (RIP) who went 311 mph at Loring on a 1650 turbocharged Hayabusa. . photo credit: Andre M Rodrigues (I think) . #ironwoodracing #ralphhudson #redhathusdon #ralphhudsonthefastestmanalive #landspeedracing #saltfever #salardeuyuni #bolivia #topoftheworldlandspeedtrial #ontheroadtospeed (at Salar De Uyuni - Bolivia)

Ralph Hudson at the TrailBlazers Banquet bike show 04/22/17 was invited to attend and show his 266mph land speed racer, along with a record graphics panel I designed to accompany the display (signed posters are available). . Red Hat Hudson, still not comprehending that he's a legend himself, modestly recounts: "There were some really great bikes, hill climbers, board track bikes, flat trackers, desert sleds, motocross bikes, but the people were the best! So many legends from AMA racing and the supporting industries. So much excitement from people seeing old friends, telling their stories and special guests being honored! Incredible evening!" . #trailblazersmotorcycleclub #redhathudson #ralphhudson #ironwoodracing #landspeedracing #scta #milers #ama (at TrailBlazers Motorcycle Club)

35 years ago today Husker Du's first album Land Speed Record was released. Recorded live to 4 track off of the sound board at First Avenue in Minneapolis for 300 bucks. Title references how fast they played as well as the stimulants they were taking. A cool karmic coincidence since we have friends at the Bonneville Salt Flats this week trying set new LSRs. So @triplenickel555 & crew "crank" up the Husker and let 'er rip! #huskerdu #sstrecords #newalliancerecords #landspeedrecord #firstavenue #ralphhudson #ironwoodracing #bonnevillesaltflats #speedweek #eyesontheline (at First Avenue & 7th St Entry)
