Every rider at the Bonneville Speed Week wants to be the fastest, but only some are able to master the Salts. Team Falkner Livingston mastered the massive lake bed.

Five new world speed records were set by Falkner Livingston Racing and one of the team rider’s was inducted into the Bonneville 200 mph club. Paul Thede ran a Spider Grips equipped Race Tech-FL Racing Honda CBR 600RR in the 650cc class. Thede went up against some long standing records set by legends of the salt, including a record set by Don Vesco in 1975.

Rider Dusty Schaller ran a Spider Grips equipped DynoJet FL racing Honda CBR 600RR on the first 600cc motorcycle to put a rider in the 200 mph Club at Bonneville. “It took a lot of effort for a 600cc motorcycle to achieve over 200 mph,” said Schallar. “But the K&N air and oil filters on the bike were a key part of finding that power.”

There is a lot of history behind the speed runs and the FL Team motorcycles. “Our turbo charged motorcycle was rebuilt in 2007 and 2008 and we planned to run it at Speed Week 2008,” said Team Manger Becca Livingston. “But, the motorcycle was stolen just days before the event. After several months and many phone calls to the Las Vegas police department, the bike was recovered but it was badly mistreated.” Crew Chief Chris Geiter and rider Schaller rebuilt the bike again. It proved to be faster than ever on the natural race course along I-80 in Utah near the Nevada border.

The Race Tech FL Honda CBR 600RR was built by Lenny Albin and ridden by Paul Thede. Thede and Crew Chief Shaun Higginbottom had a very successful week. “In head to head racing Paul set a new record in the 650cc MPS/F class,” said Livingston. “Later in the week Paul also set a new record in the 650cc MPS/G record which had been standing since speed racing legend Don Vesco first set it in 1975.”

Thede also set a new M/G racing record on the same 2004 Honda motorcycle and returned to the MPS/F class where he reset the record to a higher speed.

Paul Thede’s Speed Week Results:
MPS/G Record set in 1975 of 171.324, new record of 175.023.
M/G Record set in 2004 of 157.556, new record of 162.026.
MSP/F Record set in 1985 of 168.129, new record of 175.828 currently bumped to 178.294.

Dusty Schaller’s Speed Week Results:
On the standing MPS/BF record of 170.032, Dusty set a new record of 206.000mph.
On the standing MPS/BG record of 153.191, Dusty set a new record of 187.608.

“K&N plays an important part in making our motorcycles run well,” said Livingston. “In order to break records we have to get as much air as possible into our engines and at the same time keep the debris away. That is why we rely on K&N air filters and oil filters.”

Bonneville Racing resumes October 7-10th and FL Racing will return to the Salts with a full force. Three K9 Suzuki Hayabusa bikes and two Suzuki GSRX 1000s will accompany the two team Hondas.

The cars used are authentic NASCAR-styled race-purpose vehicles with track records of winning numerous high-profile motorsports events. Some students use the school as a way to have some fun and learn significant skills behind the wheel. Others choose to use ProFormance Racing as a tool to earn their professional license and race competitively without the hassle of car transportation and logistics, set-up and car maintenance, a pit crew team or actually purchasing/owning a car.

ProFormance Racing's stock cars are built equally equipped and are specifically designed to appropriately handle the requirements of any driver. The school uses state-of-the-art racing technology and products, so it only makes sense that they encompass K&N products in every one of their race vehicles.

"K&N Filters don't get beat up, even when some of our drivers may give the cars a beating," says Roy Gangdal, General Manager of ProFormance Racing who has an extensive background in NASCAR. "Sometimes a student may go off track in the gravel and we can just get the filter all cleaned up for the next race weekend without having to go purchase a new one."

ProFormance Racing rolls into the historic Mission Raceway Park/The River's Edge Road Course in the Vancouver, British Columbia area on September 1, where race-enthusiasts can go for a ride-along with a PFR's professional driver. Those who can't be satisfied from the passenger seat can opt to jump behind the wheel of one of their NASCAR-style stock cars and drive for the entire day.

The Brasstown, North Carolina driver ran second in his B-Main event and started off from the outside of the eleventh row in the 100 lap main event. Cook made his way up to the top ten during the Topless 100 but mechanical issues sidelined him with a 23rd place finish.

Cook is currently in sixth place in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points standings.

The No 53 team has two more Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series races in eastern Tennessee. First up is the annual Scorcher 100 at the Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee and next is a $20,000 to win event at the Gap or Tazewell Speedway in Tennessee.
