Just a quick note to thank all the folks who stopped to chat in impound. We had some good luck, despite wind and weather, and got to spend every day (from Saturday) in impound. It's a lucky event when you don't need to set up a pit.
Results were a 154+ APS-PG-750 record for me, a 158+ APS-PF-750 record for my son, Marc, and a 133+ MPS-PG-650 record for my friend Dan Wagner. Marc did a great ride, despite leaning the bike into the wind....all the way down to a bent exhaust pipe and ground heat wrap. Dan pulled the record up with one of my de-stroked "680-to-650" engines (my 750 engines are a little small). His engine is 647cc and made the record with 4 bent intake valves and a cracked head (on the first pass....yes...my fault).
Perhaps next year some much stronger 650 class engines, for both bikes, and then a full 748cc from my current 680. As we used to say in Colorado, "God willing and the creek don't rise."
Also a big thanks for all the great SCTA folks, especially the MC tech/impound staff. Everyday, non-stop, always patient and fair.
Thank you, gentlemen!
Have a great build year, everyone, and hope to meet you again. JimL
