    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Heres the pic from Birmingham of me running the motor I built (1175cc) for Denny Lowes cousin. I put the motor in their trunk when the race was over. This motor had a very nice set of R.C. Engineering road race pistons in it. It had aluminum wrist pin buttons that fit tightly into the end of the wrist pins. A little different than the floating Teflon buttons that I preferred.....I ran it in Pro Gas (he was shocked) and I promptly clicked off a 5.67 pass with it. :onthego: You can see him in the pic watching very attentively........Billy

Remember Arias also used the aluminum pins a lot. Kim was a Wiseco distributor. Not a dealer but distributor. He got me on a deal using those things. All I EVER did was knock the top ring land out of them. Tried MTC and those egg shaped pistons with lousy rings. Lot used them but I thought they were junk. Then we tried Arias made to our specs. Shazam. They were heavy but sealed perfectly and didn't break. If we had over 2% leak down something was wrong. I dug around in those vids. for 1992. If my memory serves me right we ran top gas at the rock that year then pro comp at bowling green. Got to the semi's in both. Rider error at the rock and knocked a set of pistons out (wiseco...last set used) in the quarter finals at BG. We went to the line hoping for a red light. Didn't get it. I had a spare but we didn't have enough time to swap engines.

I just dug up some pics. I got to get them scanned. What are you using to do it with?

If you ran that there it would have been quicker somewhere else. That place sucked..... Thanks for the replies. Its been nice going down memory lane. Without a doubt probably the best times of my life. I enjoyed it so much. When I returned in 1999 with the hayabusa's I just did not have the fever any more. By 2002 I was done.
