Lambky Liner update. The liner is done for this year. The only glitch this year was the clutch. The three plate slider clutch is not adequate to hold the torque being generated. Clutch holds and pulls strong in low gear, but after shifting to second, the clutch no longer holds. The only option is to take the liner home and build a longer jackshaft to accept more clutch plates. At least we went fast enough to collect Bakkers prize money.
Congrats to Craig on his record.

Bummer about the clutch, real good about the prize money...and the best part is no major stuff broken!  It was great, Max!  Thanks so much!

[RayTheRat]

Oh, yeah...way to go, Craig!!

Off topic, but does anyone know of a hotel/motel with hardwired you know plug you laptop into the ethernet network?  We are going to be there for the Cook/Loctite meet at end of Sept and need a good hookup to upload video.  Any help appreciated.

Hmm, Max may be able to fix the clutch and make WOS after all.

I don't know of any lodging facility that offers hard wiring for the internet.  A few of the non-casinos have wi-fi available, as does the West Wendover Welcome Center.  There are probably other "hot spots" in town.  I don't know who might be willing to let you plug into their cable or whatever, but there might be someone.  How about calling Kerri or Linda at the Welcome Center and posing the question to one of them?  They'd likely be able to get you a better idea.  Here're the phone numbers:  Tel:   (775) 664-3138 or
toll free:  866-299-2489

I put videos on Photobucket and then post the link.  It requires, of course, that you can be online out on the salt (I am so endowed).  Uploading the video doesn't take more than a minute, usually (YRMV), so it's not too cumbersome.

Jon (who, with Nancy, will be there for the Shootout).  Ask Mike Cook if you can buy one of the customized coffee mugs that we've made for him for the event.

Slim ...   "Doping it for fun"?     ....    I would prefer "doing it for fun" .... which it certainly was.  I have new admiration for you and how well you do the play by play. It is not easy.

Heading back to Long Island and the fun 45 hour drive. To update, the staff at Bub's was outstanding. Rex Svoboda ran the tower and it went exceptionally well. The team that worked International course - short start - mile 3 was really good. I was able to get names yesterday ( I am getting better at this ) ; Dalton (Dad) Collier, Cathy (Mom) Collier, Bob Collier (son) - Starter and last but not least a real gentleman  Nick Roberts. No rider left mile 3 without a personal briefing from them. Their enthusiasm was obvious and order was the rule. The chief of Pre-stage ran a great show, thank you Chad.  He maintained order and everyone was treated fairly. Can't say enough good things about Pre-stage.  Dennis Manning was policing the course constantly. Great event.

Congrats on the top speed, pretty amazing that a 750cc bike could do that, WTG Greg & Jim, team A-Ward!
