[interested bystander]

The important part to ALL the above re: 200 mph club is - "set a NEW record"!!!!

30 days, including travel day.   We got 14 items left on the punch list.  I am totally jazzed about getting there.  Had dinner with some folks last night and talked about the event.   They race dirt track....eyes glazed over in arout 1 minute.  Realized it is something you can only experience, not describe.

Not sure of which organization you are talking about but for SCTA that is not true. To set a record you only have to average 0.001 mph greater than the existing record. You can get a record but not entrance to the 200 Club. For the 200 club, some of those records have to be exceeded by 10, 20 or greater MPH. The exact amount varies by class. Those minimums are not capricious but are based on careful evaluation of existing records in similar classes.

Saltfever, I think IB was saying you can't get in a 2 club unless you set a record.... True in all of them as far as I know.  While the Bonneville 2 club has minimums, it has nothing to do with the scta.  And any 2 club record that is exceeded will get you in the club at Bonneville.

Wife says I've got 14 more punches left on her item list. Maybe the eyes glazed over is one of those "If I have to explain it...." things.

It has been a long and painful winter.  Electrical Gremlins have run wild.  The good news is I think they have all been chased away.  We will know soon.  Opening the 26-28th at Texas.  If it stays together we will see you in April.  We are also breaking in a ZX-10.  Bone stock at this point, but hope to start building soon.

[roadracer]

Well it seems I will not make it in April.  We were testing in Florida and had a serious oiling problem.  The 636 has to be torn down again.  Looks like May for us.  Hopefully that will be the 636 and the new 10.  Hope April is a blast for everyone.

I am going to miss seeing you .Good luck with the engine .Like Burt Munro said ."When it all goes to bits. You just dive in and make it better."

Thought I was Ready, well I was, but my Wideband o2 died on the Dyno, found a small oil leak also, has to stop testing, was grinding the tires off, couldn't tie the truck down had enough to keep it from slipping. Guess I have to depend on the Concrete dyno for numbers.

Mike,

I agree,,, the real test is on the track... see you in a few weeks.

Went by the shop yesterday and they still haven't put the the new/used/built motor together to do the swap but at least the bike is mear the bench!  I told them if they don't finish it in time I will just have to chose something else from the floor to run, like Ali's 12 for example!   8-)

They seem pretty confident it will be ready next week though.

 Car doesn't run yet. It should be all done this weekend though. See you all there.

Bike was on the bench but the motor wasn't assembled and swapped yet.  Down to about a week so I may be in trouble if the new/used/rebuilt motor doesn't run and they have to put the original back in but I don't expect that too happen.
