Maxton April Meet Whos Going?
« on: March 03, 2011, 09:36:49 PM »
Hi Gang. Well theres less than a Month to go before the April meet whos going?
  We are heading South with our home built Lakester looking forward to making a few more shake down runs. After such a brutal winter I can not think of a better way to celebrate Spring than making a full throttle pass on the Maxton monster mile.  :-)

We had our last chassis dyno session yesterday, with good numbers. One more thrash ahead on the tranny. "Maxton" front spoiler repair and the new GTA rear wing install are going on now. We're well on our way to escaping the snow and getting into the fire ants. See you in less than a month.

Tomorrow/this weekend, I am Pulling the Stude around to the other side of  shop 2, to the lift so I can put her up in the air to change rear wheels and tires, change the oil, check all the steering and suspension bolts and joints etc... may re-gear the rear. Get the hauler ready and double check all my safety gear and equipment.

I may put some sort of air intake in the grill for some fresh air to the radiator and maybe to the carb ?  Still thinking ?

See you all in a few weeks.

Fingers crossed to be there with the ZX-10 and 6rr.  Things went from promising to a mad thrash with some big last minute set backs.  Hope to see everyone there.

Amy and I will be there but don't know about the camaro. Too many snow events and rain (No inside garage space, thats where the tools and parts live). :-P  But we are thrashing away. It will definently be there in May. :-D

The turbo ZX10 is ready, and I'll be tuning the nitrous ZX10 today to maybe bring as a backup.

My lovely wife Leslie and baby boy Ben will be joining me, looking forward to seeing everyone at the event and the banquet.

Not sure you folks from up north will be able to handle our lows in the mid 30's or highs in the mid 60's. Don't forget to bring your extreme weather gear.

Nancy and I intend to be at the April event to do our volunteer work but not race.  Neither bike is ready to race -- and even so, we'll probably only give the production ZX14 a single run or two for tuning - before heading to Bonneville this August.  Back to April -- we will not race unless someone invites me to take his bike down the track.  I'll probably therefore pack my leathers as a "just in case".  See you in a month, folks.

 It was in the 90's when we last visited in September. Sounds to me like "good air"!

Actually sounds a bit like PA right now.   :-)

 Its going to be great feeling mid 60's temps. Heck in front of my shop theres still a mountain of snow its going to be June before this stuff goes away! Test driving the Lakester around these snow piles is a site to see. If the temps drop to low at Maxton I will just keep my fire suit on LOL

The weather may be tough to take. Your lows are higher than our highs here in Western Mass.
