The 650cc racer was custom built by the Mesler Brothers for drag racing, but was quickly converted to be a land speed racer.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.partsandmotorcycles.com/bikes/?p=8182"><P>The bike ran on nitro and has made runs in excess of 160 MPH at Bonneville.
