Oklahoma Motorcycle Drag Racing Legend
Top
Fuel Motorcycle Veteran Carl Ahlfeldt Passes
Top Fuel Motorcycle veteran racer and crew
chief Carl "Big Carl" Ahlfeldt , 65, passed
away October 10th at his home in Oklahoma City.
Big Carl was involved in motorcycle drag
racing for the past forty-some years. He owned and operated Motorcycles Unlimited in
Oklahoma City and was most notably known as the driving force behind Ron Webb's famous
"Fire and Ice" Top Fuel Motorcycle. From 1989 to 2005 he served as crew chief and engine
builder for Webb along with his son, Carl, Jr. Perhaps the team's greatest accomplishment
came in 2003 at the AMA/Prostar World Finals when Webb recorded a career best 6.04, just
four-hundredths from the team's sought-after goal of a six-second pass.
Ahlfeldt was a formidable racer in his own
right, competing in the early days of the sport along side legendary riders like the late
Elmer Trett. Ahlfeldt's talent and innovation earned him the respect of Trett and
many others.
After
retiring from racing Ahlfeldt built and designed dragbikes for racers all over the
country. Ahlfeldt was well known for his perfection and precision of building and
innovations in the motorcycle racing world. Many revered him as a genius and expert
machinist who took great pride in every piece he built. Ahlfeldt's roots run deep in the
history of motorcycle drag racing and will be missed dearly and by many.
God Speed Big Carl

But,
You Didn't See Me!
I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on
the sidewalk.
But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove
by.
But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the
car window.
I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you, stare at my long hair.
But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
But, you didn't see me, and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had
none.
I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos.
But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their name written over and
in my heart.
I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.
I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car.
But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.
I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the
road.
But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.
I saw you, race down the road in the rain.
But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on
his date.
I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of
time.
But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.
I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was
in.
But, you didn't see me, leave the road.
I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
I saw you, go home to your family. But, you didn't see me.
Because, I
died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker,......A person with friends and a family. |
| Wear RED on Fridays
You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on
Fridays. Here's why .....
The Americans who support our troops, are the silent majority. We
are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are.
Many Americans, like yourself, would like to start a grassroots
movement using the membership of the Special Operations Association, and Special Forces
Associations, and all their friends, simply, to recognize that Americans support our
troops. We need to inform the local VFW's and American Legion, our local press, local TV,
and continue carrying the message to the national levels as we start to get this going.
Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is -starting Friday, and
continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red - blooded American
who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.
Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United
States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University.
If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances,
fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the
USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of
their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red!
Let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
I sent this out to everyone on my email list; hopefully, you will
too.
Please forward this to everyone you know!!
Wear Red on Fridays .
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE
BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA. |
