Background. Over the winter, Wink Eller & his beautiful wife Dee built a new Land Speed Racing bike. While dialing the bike at the SCTA’s El Mirage May 14-15 event Wink ran 173 mph. While returning to the pits after this run, Wink was in a 15MPH accident & badly injured his left leg. Wink & Dee went to Bonneville Speed Week to race & to be the Broken Spoke Saloon Jay Allen’s crew chief. Wink was unable to shift his own bike because his leg injury, but he tried. Wink & Jay switched bikes & Wink was able to shift Jays bike and run 192 mph+ but was unable to back it up because of wind. Jay set 2 records at Bonneville Speed Week on his own bike. Wink & Jay then went to the BUB Speed Trials where Jay set 3 records. Wink reconfigured his bike & rode it to a 169.557MPH record. During a wind storm, Wink jumped to grab a blowing awning & cut his leg on his motorcycles stand. With a 3” gash in his already badly injured left leg, Wink sewed it up with a needle & pink thread browed from a fellow racer wife. Pink is his wife Dee’s favorite color so he thought she would be happy with pink thread. Wink took the thread, needle, pliers, & a pocket knife, went into Jay’s motor coach & stitched up the gash in his leg. Here is the video. Warning: some may find diificult to watch it.
