We're building a mini bike for the Bonneville salt flat land speed races! Today, we're testing our land speed mini bike at Washington Warren airport to test the stability and feel of our chassis, and also to see how fast we can go with our modified Tillotson 225cc performance engine. The runway is 5,000 feet long, so a high top speed here means we'll be ready to go even faster at Bonneville!

Come see us at the Wheels and Wings car show and air show September 23rd! The show is 9am-3pm with live music, helicopter rides, custom cars, and more. $15 chicken plates available at 11am. All proceeds benefit the UNC Burn Center.

    You guys have come a long way! From doing burnouts in dad's driveway to the Bonneville salt flats. Pretty cool. 😎
  • @CarsandCameras
    First round of posters sold out in less than 2 hours so we're printing another round! Thank you guys for the support!
  • @danf4616
    Let's talk about how amazing it was that Charles got 80+ on his Mini! 👍👍
  • @TangoOne
    As an airfield manager, i'm impressed that you guys managed to get clearance to do this on an active runway
  • @colestowing8695
    Seeing Charles all tucked in chasing on that tiny bike was definitely the funniest part 😂
  • @lancesteele9719
    Best of luck at Bonneville, guys ! Be smart, be safe, have fun, and set some records !!

    Accidentally goes 88 mph *disappears*. Becomes 1950s greaser subculture icon.

    Should make a cut out so your feet go down so your shin is flat on seat and it would probably be more comfy and help hold you in so you can push your feet against the back to help u stay planted in seat or what ever you call the seat lol
  • @GoPowerSports
    Loved the ride along go-pro footage of the test runs. I hope you guys hit the record!
  • @stanm9396
    This reminds me of the movie Worlds Fastest Indian. Anthony Hopkins was the star in this movie. If you haven’t seen it watch it. The bikes even sound the same. Amazing!
  • @jont0315
    Think this has to be top 3 coolest CAC builds. I cant wait for Bonneville. It'll be fine😂
  • @garyjohnston8000
    This has gotta be the coolest thing y'all have done to date! God speed boys we're all rooting for you!
  • @KENNETHREAGAN
    It feels like Charles is babying his minibike and not giving it all it has so you don’t ruin the video or sparing, John’s feelings
  • @jesse1136
    I agree with the common sentiment: from goofing around with yard karts and clapped out garage sale mini bikes to a purpose built landspeed vehicle destined for Bonneville is a cool evolution to watch. Great job, guys. This channel is one of my favorites and this feels like something I could do with friends.
  • Looking forward to the Bonneville run and framing that poster for my office! Good luck, guys! The machine looks real good at speed....hoping and praying for the best for y'all!
  • @larrydavidson3402
    Anxiously waiting for this to go to Bonneville. You guys should be really proud of yourselves, done very well with your build. You will come up with more fine tuning as time goes on. Who knows what speed you will take that bike to.

    my family and i drove out to the salt flats in 95ish and when i drove out in the van out on the flats my mother started yelling and screaming thinking we were gonna sink the new conversion van we all started laughing telling her mom this is where they do land speed records and it's all cool she got it and told me to hit lol. miss you mom.

    Blessings to the Gods of speed! Burt Monro would have appreciated this.
