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!
