Tried to sell one of my bikes so I could afford the travel costs - can't give a GS away - I will not make it . hope you do good.

Thanks Trip. I sure would like to win one of these races. If money's tight and you have enough for gas we have room for one more in our in our room if it would help you save some cash to make it to the race.
look what I will racing because I am lacking a couple parts for my Pro ET bike. Remember that Top Gas chassis I had for sale that I sold to my brother. Yep I will be riding that. Heck it's half my parts on it.

DANG that thing looks like a weapon! even without a front fairing it has been a great looking machine from the start.

nope, no can do -past the point to get there - I did not make a lot of money this year , people just did not spend at the bike shop like usual -

I wanted to just bring a street ET bike and be a part of it. My big bike is all apart already.. in a small way I am very glad someone did not buy my silver lunchbox so I will be watching on live timing - if it is on .. Teasley, Gadson, can ride those street bikes - and the Grothus family have been kicking pro mod tail. Klemme is going to Pomona - all my friends are still drag racing and I am putting studded tires on my dirt bike for the ice. bummer when the season is over. riding on the ice makes the winter tolerable.

So now I have raced and beaten Ricky Gadson and Jermey Teasley in Street ET.

I spent all day watching the live web feed. I knew it was you when i saw you getting ready to stage. Was a shame that it had to be called due to noise curfew.

I was in it until the end. They ran out of time 9pm curfew. I was bummed I was killing it yesterday. I really think I could have won the class.
The car tire bike was something else to ride. I had never riden a car tire bike before. Had a lot of trouble with the auto shifter. So after 4 passes wasted I decided to just shut the auto shifter off and shift it my self and I got a some what clean soft pass it went a 8.94@146mph with a 1.30 sixty footer. I turned up the slider and 2 step to 4000rpm studder and the slider was set at 4400rpm and I got a 1.24 sixty footer and on the last pass I turned it up to 4200rpm studder and the slider at 4600rpm and got a 1.22 sixty footer both my last passes I blew the passes one I bumped the 2step button on the shift to 2nd gear it went on the delay box. The button is to close to the air shifter button. And the last pass I got a lesson on what happened when you line up a car tire chassis bike a little crooked. It goes straight as an arrow so if you line it up a little crooked it is going where you point it. I guess I pointed it towards the center line and ended up crossing it. My brother will not ride it anymore. He is scared of it. He finally admitted it to me. He would not even get back on it. It is a hand full to ride but scary to ride hell no it was a blast. If I had known that a car tire chassis bike was this much fun I never would have sold it. I am going to end up with it back most likely. It needs some tweeking the foot pegs need to be relocated and the handle bars are to far of a reach for me. Then I can turn the launch up to get the sixty footer in the teens. I be happy with some 1.18 to 1.16 sixty footers.
