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

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

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!

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.

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!!!!!!

Joe, you could probably fit 3 smaller machines sideways on a 14ft trailer. But yea, that Sur Trek is a beast. This might be pushing it, but I wonder if you could first put the Attex on sideways toward the front of the trailer and then drive the Sur Trek up. I fit two Attexes on my 5x8 trailer side by side a couple times. I had to take all of the wheels and tires off, but it worked.

Just a little less than 3 more weeks to go.......I'm pumped!!!

I'll have to see if they'll both fit.

I'm putting all my free time into getting the Chief ready. I was in the garage from 8:00am till 7:00pm today. Plan on spending half the day tomorrow, working on it.

I know just what you mean, Joe. I put a 12 hour day into doing nothing but working on my racer. Fun stuff, and its going to all be worth every minute when we're ripping down the track!

Saw Lewis's tires & had to explore my options. While he drifts right or left, I should be able to drift right past him. When I give it a shove it rolls 22 1/2" feet before it stops. This could maybe increase top end by 5-10 mph. Crazy Idea......or not.?

Hmmm....Didn't you always tell me to piant my white rims black? :-)

Will you be switching wheels for trails after the track shuts down?

[whipper-ag]

NO time. So little time, so much to do.
