Rum Runner Racing

COMING SOON...

Street Chopper Magazine and LA Speed Shop to build and race

Sailor Jerry “Rum Runner” land speed bike

Under the moniker of Rum Runner Racing, Street Chopper Magazine Editor Jeff G. Holt and Master Bike Builder Chris Richardson of LA Speed Shop will be constructing and racing a land speed bike sponsored by Sailor Jerry Rum.

Events to include El Mirage STCA events and Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2012

“We are looking to build a bike that can run with the best of them in classes that will fit in with both the LA Speed Shop fans and our magazine’s core readers.” Stated Jeff G. Holt, Editor-In-Chief of Street Chopper Magazine.

“This year, we are not looking to dominate any land speed records, but more to dip our feet in the racing realm, do the best we can in the A-PF 1650/4 and APS-PF 1650/4 classes, and show the readers both in print and online how to put a race bike together and campaign it, but anything can happen.” Commented Chris Richardson of LA Speed Shop fame.

Online blogs on both streetchopperweb.com and laspeedshop.com will feature the complete tip to tail race bike build with all parts featured, and an up-to-the-minute diary of how the program is progressing, sponsor spotlights, and component reviews.

The total bike build will be covered in Street Chopper magazine as monthly installment a well as a feature on the completed bike and story about the trils and tribulations of racing the Rum Runner.

Since any sort of racing isn’t a cheap endeavor, Rum Runner Racing is actively looking for more sponsorship whether it be of cash or product support.

Current Sponsors include; Sailor Jerry Rum, Chassis Design Company, Lowbrow Customs, Biltwell Inc, Alchemy Tattoo, Wheel Works, Lincoln Electric, and Powerhouse Generators.
