Kind of depends on any new rules, but for certain a new motor, tweaks, and some sort of testing session BEFORE I pull it 1500 miles. :roll:

Going to pull the stock engine out of the bike and stick in a warmed over 998cc unit.  Next years goal is 160 mph at El Mirage and 150 mph at Bonneville  :wink:

What should take me a couple of weeks to get done will probably end up being a major last minute thrashing, the weekend before the May meet..

Still trying to get over missing the last two events. (thanks mother nature) I will be rebuilding the "Red Rocket" for next year and cant wait till May. I will still have my fill of El Mirage as I take my chillens dirt bike riding there often.
