October at Maxton, who is coming?
« on: October 12, 2010, 06:02:23 PM »
With just over 2 weeks left to get ready, who is planning on being there ?  One last high speed fix for 2011, then the long winter to update, upgrade or whatever to find a few more mph.

See you all there....

The 996 is still in the shop but should be ready.  Metal fuel taps and braided fuel lines that should meet FIM rules are being installed.  Wiring in the kill tether and a baseline dyno run should have her ready to go.  The company that was going to fabricate the aluminum chain guard threw in the towel so I have gone to the company that customized my trailer.  It will now be in 1/8th" steel instead but that is ok.

Just in case... The 500ex is getting a mechanical timing advance key installed with before and after dyno runs to check the impact.  That bike may see some drag race or track day duty so the advance key will stay unless it drastically impacts top end.  I would like to bump that record up a little but really want to run the Ducati instead to get a feel for her and pick up my C license.

Baby bike should be ready. Will be there if it is. Maybe if it isn't, need to fix to keep winter interesting.

John, if you are there you know I would be glad to have you help just like last month.  You did a great job and I hope you know I really do appreciate it.

See you there,

We think that we have solved the high speed miss in the WABBIT and will know for sure tomorrow, but regardless I along with a few of the Blue Bird group will be there in our usual spot next to short shutoff.

Randy Dupree is still recovering from his knee surgery and will not be there this time.

I will be there to take my Silverado for one last stroll down the Monster.
Next time I race it will be in this, in some form or another. /CGALT? I don't know if it would be legal, the top is chopped more than 3 inches.
 
May take me a year or so. But I will hopefully be able to come up next year and volunteer if possible.

Bud --

Build it as a Comp Coupe and don't worry about it.  Might not be real competitive in CGALT anyway.

As always, you know I'll be there.  Part of the furniture.  But no Buzz Bomb - recovering from the fire and updating several areas of the car.

Let me remind all would-be volunteers - PLEASE let me know if you're coming!  Also, any preference for position, etc.  Ken - we'll miss you but it's important to keep Ms. Leslie happy, too!  Now that you have a proven high-speed Triumph there's little left to prove (for now).

Dan (and anyone else that might care):  Nancy and I intend to be there for this last meet of the year.  I want to hear how Charles is already ending NEXT year (re-read your post, young feller), and I want to have one last chance to be together with our fellow racers.  And - it'll be a chance for me to experiment with live audio streaming from the ECTA track.

I'm not sure if we'll be running anything -- but be there we will.  See you in a couple of weeks.

Oh, yeah, Dan -- put us down for our usual jobs.
