Well, I am glad the forecast looks great so I won't get to hot and bothered volunteering.  The intake cam from Mega isn't going to work with the fancy three stage head job from Fast by Gast and I don't believe it will run well enough with the stock intake cam to be worth the expense of assembling and swapping the motor with the original still on the bike.  I also don't see much point in running the original motor assuming it is still intact on the bike though I could probably get the lightened flywheel on there in time for some change.  I wasn't home to get the call so I will see in the morning. 

I have an appointment to fix the rv generator next Monday down there, otherwise I would probably stay home and get drunk and save the money it will take to get a working combination in time for some later event.  Fast by Gast had the cam specs so it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.  Megacycle did warn about piston/valve clearance with the cam but I am not sure what their solution is.  Maybe I can turn the spare motor into a sculpture and sell it!  Don't worry, I'll cheer up once I hear, smell and see something running this season!   :cheers:

Just came in from the shop.  Vicky has had all her vital fluids changed, the valves adjusted, the lugs checked, the suspension checked, tires checked and air pressures checked. All nuts and bolts checked and rechecked. Fire system checked, seat and seat belts checked, door net re installed and checked.  

Packing list for gear and trailer printed out, will lay everything out on Wednesday and pack truck and trailer and load car on Thursday.

So just about ready... hmm better check my lists again,,,, I did forget to send my money for the banquet.. so I guess I will miss the festivities Sat night. So I have to put that on my Checklist for next year.

did you tighten the loose nut behind the wheel?

My first trip to Maxton was the  Oct 09 meet and I got bitten hard by the GoFast bug...So, I'm really  ready for this weekends meet...My question is, whats the odds of being able to get all the way into the pits ...Seems like theres gonna be a HUGE crowd and the possibility of having to park along one of the local roads & hike in... That ever happen?
My old age knees don't let me walk for as far as I used to  ( go figure...)....The Oct 09 meet wasn't crowded & I drove all the way in & parked ...did take my bicycle and was just the ticket for getting  around...
 Thanks,
  Stan

There should be no problem getting into the pits at all.

Hey Cajun,  You can use my Banquet ticket if you want.  I am staying in Lumberton so it is a bit of a hassle heading back afterwards.  I gave a few thoughts to making some T/O passes with the truck but will save my money for the bike work and will be volunteering.  Better now than in the 90+ weather in June!  :cheers:
