Not sure yet.  We don't have a car yet (neither the Avanti or my S-10 Diesel are done) but I'm waiting for a call from young Garrett to see if he wants to get some seat time in the Dodge.  Otherwise I'll stay home and put the time and money into the race truck.

Looks like we're out until next spring.  Too much of some stuff and not enough other stuff will keep me home.  But, man will I be rarin' to go in 2014.

Paint it primer grey, with flames and orange highlights!

oh, wait, those are Ransoms colors.

I always knew that Greg wanted to be like me. :-D
No comment.
Well...both of you like to eat cones, but it will take more than primer to get to where Ransom is...and I don't think that anyone else wants to get there...where ever that actually might be...  :wink:

I'll be participating this month, but have not had any time to work on the bike yet. So the next few weeks are going to be just routine maintenance and prep with the exception of a cut-down tank that was sprayed in primer yesterday and a rear sprocket with one additional tooth. (206+ in 5th, 210 in 6th with 1000 rpm's left) And I swear that I'll have that tank painted black by the meet!!! LOL!!!  :-D

UP one tooth one the rear sprocket? You must have a monster. I got all excited and went up one in front and down two in back on my old putt-putt and didn't have enough torque to pull a fat man into a Krispy Kreme. Best of luck.

I will be there to give it a go.

Yes I adjusted the pulsoid. I am also running a lower bottle pressure. That and a small adjustment to the nitrous delay should hold 60 HP for half a mile.
trying to go 200 KPH with a 250cc four stroke.
