Nancy and I just got back from a strollthrough impound. I got a few photos -- but not Jack and not Billy Shoemaker's bike, although I saw him putting the tarp on it.
Cars in impound -- three of 'em. George Fields, running half of his motor, went 297 on his old 268. Well, he says he did the run on three and a half cylinders. For sure there was no plumbing on one side of the engine.
The Salt Cat is in there, too -- 171 on a 131 -- is that what he said?
And Robbie Cohn, who spun it in the middle mile -- after running 240.7 in the first mile. Like John said (above) -- Robbie will run it to the three and switch off tomorrow.
Nobody else right now. It's a mellow slow time here now, with a few vehicles running. Debbie Dross is on the way to ride Dean Sabatinelli's naked blown 1000 Kawi, and somebody (couldn't see who it was) just shouted hello as they were trailering their Hayabusa to the line. Yeah, that'll be easy enough to figure out -- there can't be many of them here, right?
We got a few photos, and I'll load them in a minute or two. The electric liner bike is in inspection right now -- got some photos. And Max Lambky's bike is here someplace. We took a quick ride through the pits and didn't find it -- must be in line. If we go to the line there'll be a break in the updates --let me get this stuff done before we go. I'll post if there's any big news.
Here are the shots I just took:
Just love the simple plumbing job on this 16V92 intake system:
Here is a set of the electric liner bike:
I've got more, but will load them later on -- it's a bitch trying to see through the glare here on the salt, although right now it's beautiful weather -- light clouds, gentle breeze from right to left (of the course), and temps feel about 75F.
