Vance and Forstall Racing is Fred Vance and Larry Forstall.
Larry has been involved in land speed racing for 30+ years. He is a long time member of the Bonneville 200 MPH club.
Larry and Mark Deluca joined forces in 2002, and in 2003 Steve Knecum hooked up with Larry and Mark. In 2006 they
became Forstall/Knecum/ Deluca Motorsports. They have set many records at Bonneville, Maxton and Loring.
Steve was one of the first sit on bikes to run over 250 mph. Mark was the first N/A bike over 250 mph
I first went to Bonneville in 1978, with a turbo 650 BMW. My top speed of the meet was a blazing 88 mph. I did not get back to Bonneville until 1991, as a spectator. I continued to spectate, off and on until 2008.
In 2007 I began my quest for speed and to get into the 200 MPH club. At Speedweek 2008, with a very lightly modified motor, in my 2007 Hayabusa, I ran 192+. After Speedweek Larry offered his support. The rest is history, we became Vance and Forstall Racing
