Off to BUB's Speed Trials
« on: September 01, 2006, 10:32:20 PM »
Group,

Im finally off to BUB's.

We got the bike together Thursday night and fired it up, found we had a cylinder leak in #3. Had to take it back apart and wait until Friday morning to get new head gaskets... Got it back together and fired about 4 pm... Go to mount body work on and nothing fit. Clearance issues because I got different turbo and the exit pipes were in different spots, compressor outlet was in different spot etc etc... Anyways we are on the trailer and heading out at 10pm tonight and roll into wendover I would say about 6-7 am...

I have nice selection of movies to watch so hopefully time goes by fast... Reporting will start Saturday which is just inspection day on the salt and event starts Sunday.

Don't know how you do it.  I'm too old for that schedule.  I'm about ready to go, but won't leave until 6-7 in the morning when you get there.  I should be there between 1 and 2 in the afternoon.

I'm beat, but looking forward to this,

Sum

Good Luck to Jon, Sumner and ALL those going to BUB. I really hope the salt is good and you have record runs. I wish I was there too.
