Maxton April Meet Whos Going?

[Turbo26T]

Is The 9 AM Gate opening time only for Friday? What about Saturday & Sunday??
I really hope this doesn't turn out to be a Cluster- *^#+ !!

I was hoping actually expecting to be able to camp out in the pits. last year it looked like there were people camping out, my whole trip was planned around that. Worst case there's always the Wal Mart, last I checked self contained campers are welcome in their lots. What about check in Friday if it's raining?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Camping has always (I think) been allowed in the pits - at least as long as Nancy and I have been going to meets there.  But - remember, the rules are all changed now thanks to Gryphon.  Again -- if you've got questions that can't wait 'til the meet, get in touch with Joe Timney.  His contact information is available in the members section of the Forum.  And 'til you hear it from Joe -- don't take anything for granted just 'cause it was so last year.  Wal-Mart is a fine option - and you can do your shopping while you're there.  There's a Subway shop in the store, so that'll take care of your eating needs.

 Received great news today the torque converter has been rebuilt Dynamic Racing Converters dropped everything to get this taken care of. A one day turn around its just unbelievable thanks Harold. The Lakester will be back together by Tuesday evening. No time left for a dyno pull so the Maxton Monster Mile will be the dyno. If it wasn't for my son Ron this would not have taken place his help is making this look easy hes one heck of a crew chief. So our Ford flathead V-8 powered Lakester will be running trying to add a few more MPH to the record.

Wow Dean!  Now that's a nice racer friendly forecast.
See everyone Friday. My Honda made it to the dyno last week for jetting changes to accomodate the lack of air filter.  So it is ready now.

[MiltonP]

The Duc is not looking likely to be ready as the body is still on loose with cutting and mounting needed and I don't feel like pulling her from her spot on the racks and putting her back together again just to get back in line for the rack to start over.  The screen from Gustufson is also unlikely to show here before Friday, so.... the Ninja 500 is now prepped and maybe I can bump her record and get a record in the books with the new team name.  I may even need to stick a slightly smaller expert bike jockey on her and get the record even more respectable. 

Hey Dean,  I will try to remember to bring my Duc's front fender so at least I can see if the mounting points on your extra are going to be reasonably close.

It won't get rid of them, but cheap liquid detergent will keep 'em at bay. Kinda like the hemp rope/snake thing. Smoke the rope and forget to worry about the snakes.

I will be in late Thursday but we cant get 2 hotel rooms ... Comfort Inn and Clinton Inn are both booked up ... might have to stay in Lumberton ...

[ronnieroadster]

Its a go the Lakester is running again  My test pilot Ron Jr also known as the Crew Chief left two nice black tire trails from an off idle launch the lines continued into second gear the torque converter works GREAT. The team at Dynamic Racing Converters are first class. This time it took less than three hours to put everything back together were getting faster each time. Maybe this time it will stay together for more than a week 
 That's great news about the Kowalski banger Lakester the workman ship on the car is amazing. Fitting so many parts in such a narrow package is a very hard job I thought our drop tank body was narrow the Kowalski car is even narrower.
  Maxton here we come.
