O Slim
 Tell me you will bring that bike to Maxton . I always look forward to seeing you and Nancy . But I would just love to see that bike in person.
 For myself. I am planing to get into the 100 mph club some how. :cheers:
Thank you to all the volunteers

John,

2009 goals are to rebuild the Triumph 600 with low compression pistons, add ice water intercooler, increase boost, improve aero, etc. I was considering dividing the tank for fuel and ice but may look into Slims option of moving the fuel tank to under the seat and using the original tank for just ice so that I can lower the profile.



If it all comes together in time I would like to go for 200+ at BUB.

PS: Not to ruin your image John but your encouragement at BUB this year was much appriciated.  :cheers:

Tod,


I like the Triumph and being that you are running in a smaller engine class you have a great wall of salt to climb, 200 is a worthy goal and only one 600 open bike has ever been timed at a speed greater than 200mph.  A few others are making the trek however it is a hard journey, if you need pistons or rods let me know as I offer a racer discount (must run a Wossner piston decal) to all LSR racers from 50CC to AA configurations.

Your Triumph has an actual compression ratio of about 12.4:1 and could make in excess of 200 rear wheel HP with the right combination..a certain 500cc bike made 200 + so these are realistic numbers to shoot for In a turbo configuration. :cheers:Thanks for the kind words however please remember I have a rep to keep so lay it thin on compliments or send them to me in a PM  :-D.

Good luck and if you need anything my business line is always on..714-369-8879

Goals: Make it to a few LSR events and hang out with some classy people.  :cheers:

215mph at Maxton on the old 12 would be nice as well.  :-D

Scott,

If I can even do one of my 09 goals I will be happy, I say every year the same thing about the "new dedicated bike" however as time runs out I stick with the same old stuff..I have a few ideas that I have not seen anyone use and I look forward to trying them and if we have good salt and "if" I have this new magic motorcycle then I would hope for greater speeds than "we" are seeing now..

The old 2000 ZX12 has been 210.xxx mph at Maxton. A little JohnnyCheese built stroker with about 68HP of N2O. I am around 255lbs of natural ballast material though.

Maxton goals, hey?  A handful of 'em...

First of all -- we hope to attend at least four of the five events.  It's difficult to get back from World of Speed in time for the September racing, so we might miss that.

Second:  We're hoping to have three bikes (that's right THREE!) to race this year.  You'll get to see the little 250 turbo - the Flamingo bike - for the first time in a couple of years.  The nitrous ZX12R should be back in action (the last time it ran was Maxton October '06 -- when I windowed the case.  Then a quick 17 month delay for the new crankshaft that "will take about 8 - 10 weeks after receipt of deposit", said Farndon Engineering.  Anyway, the 12R should be there.  And the new ZX15R - the one that Nancy and I each made a run on in October '08 at Maxton -- that bike will be there and tuned up, going for the honest P/P 1650 record.  I've had to back-burner the turbo 14R, darn it -- money's got to stay close to home in case we get to getting the new (motel) business started.

Third - - we hope to see all of our friends and co-racers a bunch more times.  That's the icing on the cake for us.  We've been enjoying getting greeting cards from some of the best and fastest folks in the world.  Who would have thunk, back in the pre-racing days -- that we'd be exchanging cards and thoughts with all these folks that hold records of speed?  It's wonderful - and we hope each of you have a super-duper holiday season - and will be with us this coming year as we try to Be safe, have fun, and GO FAST!
