Broke clutch at 5000rpm in second.  Won't be able to fix it on the salt.  Leaving tomorrow.

Wow...so sorry to hear about the damage, any hope to fix it locally?

Has Sam Wheeler arrived on the salt yet?

[narider]

Glad to hear about Rob.. whew!!!

Max, sorry to hear about clutch issue, hope you'll be able to fix and return for WOS, Shootout or WF?

Jon... awesome reporting thanks and everything's coming thru fine.

How did that blue Kaw do? Looks like same bike that was at SW.

Tell Nancy to visualize her runs and get course feedback from "those that are in impound with 200mph bikes"

You know this isn't helping any of us get work done out here right?

  Maybe the Strasburgs in Salt Lake can help, racers from speedweek went there for help and they are Bville racers and drag racers. Don't have # but somebody does. Its worth a phone call.

  Slim could you relay this message to Max?

Yeah what he said!? Does inspector gadget...err.. I mean Stainless have any thoughts on fixing it locally?

Six States on 17th South near 3rd West in SLC does good clutch work.  Strasburgs are in Lindon, UT, 35 miles south of SLC.  Good machine shop but I don't know about clutch work there.

I got in two runs on the short course today. I got 197 on the last run but the fishtailing and tire spin were pretty severe. I was constantly backing off on the throttle.
But the high point of the day was when I took my daughter into impound and  then to have her record certified. She ran 131 on her qualifying run, then 137 on the return run. This was on my Honda CX500T which can't go that fast.
Here she is. Leslie Porterfield watch out.

Just found this in the pre-entry list:

566 Baling Wire Racing Delisa Bartholowmew 500-MPS-PBG Honda 1983
567 Baling Wire Racing Don Pearsall 1350-APS-BF Suzuki 2003

All racers deserve a name! So the daughter is Delisa and if I'm understanding correctly this IS a factory turbo pushrod engine. Very cool! (yeah I had to go look it up!  )

Congrats again on the record!

The primary chain that links the two motors together broke. Because of clearance issues it took out the cases also. So they are done... Ack Attack crew offered beer.

Sam Wheeler is on the salt, he was at the far end checking things out...

Thanks Amo.

Bummer!  I was routing for them!
Thanks for the update!

That sucks for Max Lambsky and the whole crew, for us interested bystanders also.  Sorry.

Good luck to Sam Wheeler, the 'little engine that could' 

[rlague]

Is Sam getting ready to run?  Or is he just checking things out?

How is the salt?  How is the wind?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Okay, we're almost back on the Salt.  Did a quick run to lunch and supplies.  Wind was east at 3-5 aas we passed the windsock on I-80.  I'll see what there is when we're at Land's End.

If you are enjoying the photos that Ray the Rat is taking (and I'm posting) -- please consider sending a donation to the site (use the Paypal button on the home page) and earmark it for Ray.  I'll make sure he gets it now (not once we get home) to defray his personal costs for the work he's doing.  He just called to say he's got more photos for me -- I'll post either on the Forum or in the Gallery (there are new ones there this morning, as well as yesterday's).

For that matter -- you're always welcome to say thanks with a donation to the site.  Nancy and I appreciate them -- but, to tell the truth, the nice words from you are darned near as good as money (just not as negotiable at a store).

Mosre posts coming.
