bahahahahahahahahahhaa, yup, that would do it.

I was "lucky" after leaving WOS in that we ran into a deluge that lasted for a couple hours.  Outside of car & trailer got drenched.

Tom,
you are from N.S.? 
You do Loring?

Can I get a barrel of it?  I'm thinking:
     1.)  Rinse bike (or car) thoroughly with water, preferably at Miller Raceway where they have a "firehose" size wash station.
     2.)  Remove tires and seat.
     3.)  Immerse entire vehicle in 1234
     4.)  Blow dry
Seems like that should do it.

Long ago, Japan Air Lines belly flopped one of their Boeing 707s into the (salt water) bay while trying to land at San Francisco airport. They almost made it, but if they had "landed" 50 ft or so closer to the end of the runway, they would have run into the end of the pier.  As it was, nobody got hurt.  They used LPS1 (many gallons of it) to rinse out and recover the engines.  I've got a couple of cans of LPS1, 2.5 and 3 which is almost gone.  I haven't seen LPS for a few years, but it worked good for me while it lasted.

I was wrong.  It was a DC-8 and it landed over two miles short.  It was refurbished and stayed in service for 34 more years.  They did use LPS1.

Karl,
Yes, I've lived in Nova Scotia for 38 years.  I now have a house in Colorado as well.  The best of both worlds!  I ran at Loring last year and plan to be there again in July.

Excellent on Loring; TeamFatAzz was there in force last July, i was running a green Busa.
What were you on/in?

We'll be there again this July, love that event AND the lobster fest #4 which will follow it near Bath, Maine.
Come by TFA pits for beer at the end of the day, we ALWAYS have beer!
