May 2009 Maxton event

[TURBO KING]

Congrats to Bill Warner on top speed of the meet at 247+ mph!

He has now soundly eclipsed my speed of 244 to become the fastest owner-builder-operator at Maxton.

I hear he also set the record for the longest boosted run at Maxton ever by staying in the throttle a little too long!

Congrats to Trilly on a new personal best of 241+!  Way to go!

Congrats to Pushrod Tom and Mike G. on their new records on Pushrod Tom's pair of BSA's.

Glad to hear everyone was safe.

Bill Warner's run was frightening ... he ran off the end of the course almost to the white shack ... I was the run before him and when I was on the return road and watched the Crash Fire Rescue start roll ... definately disconcerting ... Joe

Here is a photo of the little 250 run. We ran 111.XXX last year on motor only and came back with nitrous this time. It was the only pass we made, plus it was the riders FIRST maxton pass ever. Due to weather and the riders time we didnt get to make another one plus we hit the limiter in 6th. We didnt know the bike would make this much power in nitrous so we didnt have the gears necessary for more. I feel sure we have another 4-5mph in there with more time and tuning and seat time for the rider. So if anyone gets too close we may have to come back and make some more passes. As for now we are 7 mph up on the old record so that should hold us for a while hopefully !!

I would like to publicly thank John Bullock for helping me out tremendously.  At the April Maxton race I put a big hole in my motor and had no way to come up with the parts to build another.  John hear of my situation and offered me all the parts I need and just said replace them when you can.  I have only met John a few times and for him to to this shows how nice of a person he truly is.  John is also the person that back in 2006 stepped up at Maxton and offered his bike to a little Canadian girl who wanted to try and go fast.  She became the first woman at Maxton to go over 200mph because of Johns offer and now is the Fastest Woman in the world on a Motorcycle(241mph).  Although I did not make a stellar showing this last weekend, I hope with the help John provided I will have a similar title of which Trillium holds.

Thanks again John, I'll try and do a good job.

Gee thanks Walter,
You didn't have to mention the boost thing 
I am not sure why my hand rolled back on the throttle after shut down.  I will address this over the next month so it does not happen again.  But for those that want to know what the run log says I did.  Chopped the throttle at the line and then when I reached for the brake rolled back into it to about 50% throttle making 10psi of boost.  Hit the corner at 177 with a rear wheel spin of 11-15mph. When I took the left side of the cones (not to hit the cones) rear wheel went off the track side ways (spinning to 220mph) back on the track to hit a cone (broke my right side fairing)(crap!) and then I made it to the end of the track..... no problem 

Sorry to all for the 5 minute delay
