I'd love to, Charles.  Do you have an easy payment plan?  A dollar down and a dollar a month for 25,000 months?

Now Dan, even though the cost to duplicate the motor would be very close to your guesstment...

I am sure we could work out a number far less than that...

Motor has dyno time, 1 half pass and 5 runs (all 5 class records) Plenty of MPH left in her with more gear or a 4 speed,, she does not like the automatic (lose to many RPM's between  2 to 3 shift)

If you would like to seriously consider, we can work out a deal..(hmm around 1/2 price) but no financing...LOL

Charles - speaking of moving in @ Thanksgiving, how about updating your build thread? Inquiring minds want to know...    vic

Terry,  I understand...

Due to economy and more so the stock market's nose dive,,, I may have to go a bit slower on the Studebaker than I had planned...I wanted it done for Maxton in April,,, that is still the goal, but to do it right and to my desired standards, it may take a bit longer.. If I can't do it up my way now, it will go slow till it is done right,,,, Once and Done,,, no re-do's

I take the long shut down because it's easier, safer and gives me time to cuss at myself after the run.  I take how ever long it takes.  They can wait the extra 20seconds.

I think its besr to take the long shut down if it is pushing it to make the short on.

I have used both. If you are comfortable with the short turn off, then you should take it. If not then you should continue down to the long chute. This is briefed in the rookie orientation and is a best practice. There is negligible time difference with either one. Lower speed vehicles take longer to go down the course to the time traps and get off the course quicker at the short turn off. Faster vehicles get down the course quicker and take the long turn off. Joe and Keith have it working so well that there are 40 runs in an hour. I doubt it is possible to get more runs in even if everyone used the short turnoff.

I can usually use the short shut down running in the low 200's on my busa but sometimes I make runs that I think require the long shut down so that's what I use. Do what it takes to slow and exit the course safely because the small amoiunt of extra time it takes to clear on the long shut down doesn't compare to the time, not to mention chance for injury, it takes to start racing after a rider falls trying to make the short shut down. I may be wrong and if so the trible elders of Maxton can correct me, but as far as I can remember every biker who has went down has done so in the shutdown area of the course,

Most of the time problems seem to occur in shut down.

I don't think I'm out of line at all to reinforce - use the long shutdown if there's ANY question in your mind that the short is not safe for you.  At a current top speed of 108 MPH, it hasn't been much of an issue for me, personally.  Maybe next season I'll have some decisions to make.

Charles - we should have a chat.  It's a bit out of my reach to pay for it all at once, but maybe I can work something out.  I really do have an interest.  I'll need more specific info on the engine - please PM me with details when you get a chance.
