Congrats to all the Salton Sea T.T. racers!
The running of the Second Annual Salton Sea T.T. 396-Mile X-Treme Endurance Race was very real. Fortunately the weather cooperated until most racers finished, as everyone did, and there was no drama.
Linda Hurley AVERAGED 74.95 miles-per-hour, with Jeff Corsaro biting at her rear wheel. Jeff AVERAGED 72.88 miles-per-hour! A mere nine minutes separated them at the end of the race. They achieved these speeds notwithstanding gas stops, a US Customs/Immigration Border Checkpoint, cages, wind, and posting the obligatory MSILSF postcard in a US Mail Box!
Tom Wheeler won 1st Place in Class I (50cc to 100cc) on his Kymco S9. This is Tom's second x-treme endurance win in 4 months, having won Hell's Loop T.T. in November 2011. Tom only won his class, but finished 1st overall!
This is the first time we have had vintage scooter racers. We're impressed!
