    weekend at Summit Point

    I had a great weekend at Summit Point Raceway Park. I kind of got a late start Saturday morning. I had a good ride. I only saw one cop. I blew by him at 80mph. I cruised between 80-90mph however I only averaged 56 with the stops for water, fuel, and pulling over to check the map. I would never be competitive in a Iron Butt competition. The track was beautiful the people were very nice. Even the corrner worker apologized for yelling at me cause I was walking to a place I shouldn't have been going. I met up with Ken Kyler what a cool side- car he has. He has a GS750 engine in there now, I think he can shoe horn a 1100 engine there with no problem. Them Side-Car racers are a tight nit family of racers. I did learn some things about motorcycle camping. Never put your helmet on the ground it will attract ANTS! It took me about a half hour to get them all out of there. And pack a chair with you! You need a place to sit. I'm just learning. Overall it was a great trip. The motorcycle (BMW) ran great and got me home safe and sound... Norm

        The track in Canfield is gone? I used to race there in the late eighties.

          hey Norm - it was great seeing you at Summit. And I am planning on a built 1100 soon. I envision a 1200cc big bore, 1 Piece Ti Valves and racing spring Kit, etc. Might be able to hang with the big-boys after that
