I just got the bike in the garage last week. Between work and the weather held me up a bit. Bike was in the trailer in back yard. Frozen into the ground. Had to lay plywood down and roll it to the garage, Haha. Made a super handy motor stand out of a car stand. I bought some parts found one of the piston has gauling inside the hole for the pin. Bummed me out, now need to order pistons to match my block. Oh well. Live and learn. Bell, going to keep the air shifter, I'm running auto shift with the air. Street, lucky its only one bike I'm working on. For now any how, haha. Hopfully I can just add fresh gas to my street bike and go.
 
Re: pics from phone...I think you have to send them to a photosharing site first, or send them to my email or yours and then get them on a desk computer... There are smarter people tham me when it comes to this. If you want to send them to my phone, 847-334-1688... I can play with them from work...

small fortune is better than no fortune.

small fortune is better than no fortune.

apr 27~28 is my first points race -- was trying to get 3 bike all together - But I'll be lucky to get 1 and have it tested before competition. Good thing I have over a month to tidy things up after the first eevent.

I'm waiting on custom CP piston and a crank from pearson...

I have 3 sets of sump snorkels and oil pans that I am modifying today

got the 33 smoothbores fired up and still need 1 step richer pilot ...


delay boxes are legal in our class again hooray!!!! crossing over with out cross talk and knowing how to set the box is a secret talent of mine.. :-\\\

bought 3 chains and realized buying parts for 3 machines at once is a big pill to swallow.
 
Wishing everybody here a safe and prosperous year. Go get em boys.
 
Tripp, three bikes sound like a handful. Are they for back up or you having others ride them? I was just looking at parts I collected. I have enough to build two motors, but I have more money into one motor then I do in the running race bike that I bought, Haha. WTH? Haha. Oh well its been like a man style Xmas every week, Haha.
 
#1 is my box/slider / car tire for div3 summit points rte.66 and GLD
#2 is a pro street 9:50 index DOT tire type bike
#3 is a beginner 14 second barebone slapper.

at certain races I can ride 2 of them -- and the other is for spoiling points and making the number to raise payout.

sometimes it pays to take a collection from the other racers and put a warm body on a bike. them winner goes from 350 up to 500 .. 5 guys pay $10 and winner gets 150 more.

good luck everyone get out there and do your best!!
 
I might have an extra warm body... Do we have to get a NHRA number? And is it ok if he had a heart attack last summer? Maybe he is not so warm.........
