congratulations that's assume!!!

 

Very cool. Congratulations.

 

congrats..mean flatty

 

I got to see the car without the body at david beards shop, david is building a vintage front engine dragster for me, what a work of art. I was at davids shop working on my car two weeks ago and these guys were thrashing on the car the day before they left. I have not met Ken yet but congrats on the new record only a dream for most of us. Larry Ricci

 

Farm out! Congrats all around. Gary

 

Freakin awesome! Damn it wish I made it out to B-ville this year! Congrats Ken.

 

Congratulations! I filmed Ken for my film "A Sweet Sickness: The Flathead Movie" and he was one of the most knowledgeable, yet modest guys I've ever met.

It was a pleasure to listen to him talk about flatheads!

 

WOW! That`s amazing!!

 

Way to go Kenny! I knew it would happen. Now its time for the nitrous!!

 

Wow..what a beauty!
What class does it run?
The "Hamke" car (I sold back to the family) turned 149 mph in 1951
Running a flathead..
I really love seeing the old Flatheads making a comeback....

 

Very cool Ken, very cool.

 

Congrats to Ken on the new record.

 

Scott,
He's not 100% sold on the Nitrous. He thinks he might see how far he can go on Gas and not hurt the motor on NOS.

He's in the XF/GR Flathead Gas Roadster

 

Congrats on a great effort!!!!!

 

Congrats - what an accomplishment!

 

Congratulations...
Good Job guys!! Whata payoff!

 

That's amazing! And he thinks there is a little left! Congrats guys, way to go. Freaking fast.

 

Awesome!! Congrats!!

 

Freekin' Fabulous....big congrats to Ken, his family and to those who helped along the way.
I'm hoping he brings the record breaking ride to the Ty-Rods show for all to see !!!

 

Congrats Kenny, I know it's been a long hard road that's consumed a ton of time and $ over the last 5-6 years great to see you get the the record.

 

Mother Freakin cool

 

Way to go Makuch Racing !! Congrats !

 

Very cool Flatty. Thats some magic to make that motor run like that on gas. Its nice to see guys with family's still breaking records instead of Corporations with money. . .

Very kool, congrats to everyone.

 

Well done.

 

If you want to see Ken's record breaking Roadster. He'll be at New England Dragway this weekend for the car show and they of course you can see him and the car at the Tyrod's Show.

He got home Monday night, I was over there yesterday and he was still on cloud nine. The car is washed and has had a liberal dose of Salt-Away. It's amazing how quick stuff rusts and aluminum etches...

 

I've never seen headers like that before!

Might start a new fad.
