[img][IMG]http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad338/shadowman12/Little%20River%205-27-17_zpspm9hudxm.jpg[/img][/img]Just wanted to say hi from Texas and introduce myself. Dave Boyd, 57 years old. Getting back into drag racing after a 30 year absence. I have a red1972 H2 750 that has been sitting in my garage for thirty years and I just picked up a blue 1972 H2 750 from an estate sale a few months back. The blue one has now gone 6.48 @ 102.xx in the 1/8th mile on my 6th pass. Getting better. Looking for 5's. The red bike is a proven 9.23 second 1/4 mile bike. Should be ready in about a month. Getting a new swingarm and tail section. [img][IMG]http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad338/shadowman12/Drag%20bike%201_zps2jr53pqd.jpg[/img][/img]

Thanks. The red one belonged to a friend of mine in Houston I used to race IDBA with. It was a national record holder in IDBA in CC Modified at 9.23 @ 128mph. When he passed away his mother sold it to me for $1500.00. It has sat in my garage for thirty years. I brought to a friend of mine for a new swing arm, bars and a few other things and he found the blue one in Ohio. I made a deal and drove from Texas to Ohio and picked it up for $6000.00. It had sat for over 20 years.

Hello Dave, it's good to meet you, and welcome to the board. Keep the photos and race reports coming!

My wife says she is going to put "I want one" on my tomb stone. That being said, "I want one"! Love them!

Welcome to the board, good to have a fellow dragracer join. I had an H2 dragbike much like your 72. Had a front end Kozman wheels backbone tank with stage 3 FBG porting with 40mm Lectrons and outer bearing support. The bike had gone 5.68 but typically ran 70's-80's. I go to a couple of Mancup races a year, look forward to meeting you.

I'm looking for a lightweight 18" front wheel for the blue bike and maybe a rear so I can get rid of the drum brake.

I bet you know Bill Baxter. He lives just down the road from me. Met him online, then at a local dragstrip. He was in Memphis this weekend. Any line on some wheels?

So cool! Welcome.
