I just received awful news. Richard Nallin died today as the result of a motorcycle accident. I don't know any details.

Those of us who knew Richard will always remember him for his take-no-prisoners positive attitude, both in racing and in life.

The relationship he and Brian shared was as close as two brothers could be. I cannot imagine the pain that Brian must be feeling right now.

When more information is available, I'll post it.

Gee, that is sad news. I too met Richard at Bonneville, my first time there. Great guy, always a positive thinker and doer, an ideal role model for anyone who aspires to go racing.

So sad.

Does Anyone have the History of Brian and Richard back when they were Drag Racing S1's?

I recall some other Racers accusing them of Cheating, so the S1 was sold to one of the other Racers,
and the Nallin Boys built another one which ended up Quicker/Faster than the old one
they'd been accused of cheating with.

Brian is a genius with the engines. Richard could make Brians work shine. Richard was posting ET's that were incredible back in the 90's on a Buell.

Bads1-

The Nallin's did a lot for us with Buell Drag Racing and Bonneville, along with Sportsters also if I am not mistaken. That is why I had them do a Stage II kit for my S1 back in the Spring of 2000. The Engine is a monster and has run like a Nuclear Top ever since.

For this reason again I ask if Anyone could/would tell more of these fine men. Brian who I dealt with could not have been nicer.

If Richard was anything like Brian which it seems He was, then I missed the chance to meet another Good Guy.
