omg..... boys, it ain't happening over here... sorry to burst your bubbles! now from what i gather, ball hugging speedos seem to be more of a fancy for the northern guys... seems the farther you go north, the worse it gets..... just look at that guy from ILLinois..... he is big time into them (have to refrain from using his name as he gets a bit touchy when we talk about his swimsuit habits 
).

Do you need a spare driver for that modified??? What track(s) do you race at?

Always need a spare driver, bring your cash and you can bring it home
Our local tracks are Lancaster, Holland and Perry, all short tracks, the bigest being a 5/8. We hit some shows on the North East Featherlite tour and haul to odd ball tracks a lot.
This is one that the guy couldn't come up with the balance due, so I figured I would run it for fun, until I get it sold.

good one kreg!!!
ok... i will answer your question tho..... the 56 is my baby.... but as old things go... never completely reliable (especially since i insist on being my own mechanic for most things and i suck at that) and is not setup for a passenger.... so short trips usually, but she has seen 300+ miles in a day.
the nightrain is setup for a passenger with a lick and stick seat and my old lady likes a bike with suspension (you know, i have to keep her somewaht happy otherwise i'd never get her to go anywhere with me). plus it doesn't break down and keeps me happy that i don't have to ever wrench on it.
the only diff between them and a moped is one goes 140+ MPH and the other makes girls wet (you figure out which does what). a moped does neither... but will get you there just the same!

These things rock your socks, handle better than any cup car ever built and can kill ya real fast due to the rigid frame. Not something for the wannabe. Back in the good old days, we ran unlimited big blocks, now they are 358's

Nope, there are some that are plenty more expensive like Cigarettes, Outerlimits, Hustler... But for a 22 footer you can't really find any that go much faster (80+ MPH)!
