I have also only been to speed week, although many times.  I hear that the finals can be pretty cold.  We'll see.  Good luck at mirage.

Are you going to make an El Mirage meet this year?

If everything goes well at Bville we will go to the Nov. meet.  Maybe we can break into the 240's?

No I meant cold.  Not for me, but for the fluids in the car.  We added some shut off valves as safety features for draining all of our water containers in the car.  sorry Scott I think I just hi-jacked your thread.  Troy

Got the bike on the dyno for a short time today. We made a real soft first run just to make sure everything was good with the drivetrain and the new motor. All went well and it was clear the bike was on the rich side of things on the main jet. We didn't make any changes as it was more of a shakedown pass then anything. We made two more passes and had some problems with the sniffer/gas analyzer so I couldn't make any changes and then be able to see the affect they had.

So all in all I am happy as I found out that all of the motor/trans work I did held together on the dyno. Checked the hp on the last two passes and both were 110 rwhp @ 7000 rpm with a great power curve that had no dips or spikes in it at all and created power nice and steady all the way to the rev limiter. I have the rev limiter set at 7000 rpm, but may play with it after some research on what will be a safe rpm to rev to without blowing the motor.

We fill that once back on the dyno after it is repaired and some jetting changes, playing with timing a bit and maybe the rev limter we may be able to pull another 10-15 + horse out of the motor.

So for just setting up the motor in my garage by sound and throttle response I am happy to this point with the 110 horse out of the little 82 cubic inch motor.

Ok, I finally got some video of the bike today. I bled the brake today so I thought I would take it out for it's first run.

Video one is 1:37 long and you can really hear how good the bike sounds and video two is 1:50 long and was added because it was kinda hard to see the bike with all the cars parked along the street.

I have'nt done much work to the bike lately as I have kinda been taken a break, however it is almost 100% race ready. I still have to do some small minor stuff to finish along with saftey wiring the bike.

Nice sounding ride.  I was hoping to see a little tire smoke and a wheelie.

No wheelie here.......althought the front end did light a few times.
