Maxton May Meet - Who has work to do ?

[roadracer]

Thanks Charles.  Good luck getting your ride together.

Charles, looks like Dave and I will be making repairs to the Camaro. When Dave pulled the plugs, it went lean on the 4 corners to the point #7 melted half the ground strap. We have 80% Leak down on that cylinder. We are hoping there is something stuck in the intake valve and nothing else. Worse case we dingle hone it and throw another piston in that hole.  We will be figuring out the lean 4 corners thing though. My engine builder is calling his intake guy to discuss the fuel distribution problem. The funny thing is its always fine on the dyno, but always 4 corners lean on the track no matter what our setup is, blown or NOS. Just goes to show a dyno is just a tool!!!!!!

Eric, I wish you the best as always, but let me warn you.  Two bikes is a stressful weekend full of work.  Take it from a guy who has been trying to run 2 bikes with the wife/owner as the only help.  It becomes more like work than a good time.

Ya I know it. That is why it has not happen already

X (and Dr. J., too):

Nice Bill Hoddinott stories in the B R N this month.  Thanks for letting us have a peek inside your builds (and heads).

Thanks, SSS.  I was thrilled when Bill H emailed me about wanting to do an interview for Bonneville Racing News.  I mean this is the guy that interviews the big teams with the fastest cars and bikes on the LSR planet!  I'm sure it was our exposure here on Landracing.com forum that got his attention, so thanks Jon.  It was a great experience and Bill makes it easy.  I was also surprised by the number of pages and photos that BRN devoted to the interviews with Eric (Racer X) and I.  Eric and I hope it shows that small bikes are a blast too.  Thanks go to Wendy Jeffries and Bill Hoddinott for the stories.

Congrats on the BRN article.  You and Eric certainly deserve the exposure with what you do with those little bikes.  I am amazed each time you guy's run.  It's cool to see ECTA racers getting the well deserved recognition.  See you in May.
