6x6 Racing at Ashtabula, Ohio June 18-20, 2010

Joe that motor almost starts itself. Looks like you have it dialed in Pal. Will enjoy seeing you again. So much to do and so little time. Looking good!

It's running pretty good now, just hope it holds up. No where around here to give it a good test. Yeah, it's getting down to the wire.
Looking forward to seeing you too and everyone else. WORK...WORK...WORK!!!!!!

I didn't think you had the smaller stock Mikuni on there....that 400 sounds great! I always loved the sound of those 400s, its almost like a big lopey cam sound in an old muscle car when they idle.

I want to bring my Max II on tracks, my '74 Wild Wolf (the super low hour, all original survivor one) to show, and my Thunderchief racer, but unfortunately trailer space is limited so I might only be able to bring 2 machines Who knows, maybe I'll be able to borrow a trailer or find a deal on one that can hold 3 or 4 machines, but there isn't that much time left. What machines are you planning on bringing?

Just bringing the racer. I'd like too bring the Surtrek, but not enough room for both. The Surtrek is 10ft and my trailer is only 14ft.

JP, it's an older 32mm Mikuni. How many machines are you bringing?

Cool, another Chief/Thunderchief style racer! That 400 revs up pretty quick. What kind/size of carb are you running on there, Joe?

Work, Work, Work!!!!!

Last year at, Pine Lake I had all kinds of mechanical problems and engine problems. This year I'm gonging to use the Attex rolling chasse I bought from, George and my 400 JLO. After about a week of messing with the 400; I finally got the problem figured out that plagued me last year. Turns out that the carb has a very small crack in the housing. It would run, but once it got hot, it would start sucking air. Got another Carb and know it's running great.... KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!!

Just need to fab roll bars, chain guards, clutch guard and clean it up.

Battery? What's that?

[lewis]

Well, I got 12 more pounds off the Spider today. I got my new battery. It weighs 8 ounces & has 325 cranking amps. Bridget & I are calling it , the Pocket Battery. I don't even have to mount it, it's so light. It can just hang from the cables.

That's just wrong!

[Joe M]

That's awesome, Joe. Hope you get to complete at least one lap before the body melts.

Whipper

LOL!!!!! This year I'm going to race a stock, Attex.

Scramble engine test.

[whipper-ag]

That's what I'm doing right now.
