I just posted this poll.  I just voted in this poll.  So far I've gotten 100% of the vote.  Thinking about canceling the poll.

Man I wished I was going to the BUB event just for this reason, who will be the fastest in 08'?

Good luck Max, I have enjoyed watching your liner come together.

Hey Willie,
 
This is what I know about front engine lead:  When running two Triumphs (vertical twins), Boris Murray ran 3 to 7 degrees.  He ran a single row roller chain, I think a 530.  Not sure on that.  Anyway he started at 3 degrees, and when the chain stretched to a 7 degree lead, he'd put a new chain on it and start all over. 

Dave Campos, when he ran a double on the drag strip, kept his at around 5 to 10 degrees.  The Easy Rider streamliner ran 5 degrees, however, the 5 degrees hung in there pretty good, as it had a HYVO chain between the motors. 

Bonny Truett, with all of his doubles, ran around 10 to 13 degrees. 

I've run everything from 0 to 15 degrees. The Vincents seem to like around 7 degrees.  At least when it gets to 7 degrees the chain lasts longer.  I get more runs at 7 degrees, so I deduce that that's the sweet spot.

Good Luck on this year's racing.  See ya on the salt.

What you have accomplished has been inspiration to me, thanks, and I hope my vote is wrong for your sake,

Willie,

Max has stated he plans on running in the sidecar class first to get an FIM "World" record and then remove the side car platform and run against the other liners (also FIM) for the title of "World's fastest Motorcycle"

john i know nothing of FIM if he goes the fastest ever will it be a streamline sidecar record or  a sidecar record or is there a differance at FIM  willie buchta

[bak189]

Willie, under FIM rules the is no "normal" sidecar class or is there a streamliner class.......just a sidecar class..............However, there are displacement classes....250c.c......350c.c.....500c.c.
and so on........the sidecar World Record that was set in New Zealand a while back was for the 1000c.c. class at 170+mph. and at this time is the fastest "official FIM" sidecar.......Now for example Max and his Vincent liner with the sidecar attached will go for a open FIM record in 2000c.c. (I am assuming 1000c.c. per engine maybe Max can tell us the displacement of his iner).......Now AMA does have "normal" sidecar class and a streamliner class...................................
For 2008 I am (Bakker Motorsports) putting up $1600.00 price money for the sidecar class.....and it will be split between the "normal" sidecars.....
(like yours...mine...and Johns) and the streamliners. (like Max.....Craig....and John Renwick)  I hope this somewhat explains it.........
         

[bak189]

Boy, I hope I got the last post all correct..........
maybe one of our lurking FIM officials can correct me if wrong..................................................

Has anyone heard from Craig? I saw him at the last El Mirage meet, but only got to talk with him for a few minutes before he had to go. Curious as to how is sidecar liner is coming along.
