Bill,
Just my thoughts on this but but maybe you should leave Purple Rain as your street bike and build Calender Girl into your ET bike. I know you want to go fast, but Turbo bikes have never been very consistent for bracket racing, especially ones with no bars. Unless you plan to spend some big $$$ on electronics to fully manage the turbo, I don't feel this is the best move for bracket racing.

Sorry man, but i just had to put that out there to you.

He's already got an ET bike.

So what does Mr. Green intend to ride when both of you show up at the dragstrip? Lol

By the way, we've got to figure out how to get your bike down to Brandenton. No room in my trailer but i do have friends...........

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #64 on:** December 21, 2012, 12:39:58 PM »

I'm up for it if it's OK with Billy but I won't book a flight until the Manufacturers can guarantee 100% that the event will take place.

Sam.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #65 on:** December 21, 2012, 03:59:33 PM »

Frank interesting! I was thinking like Sam.....addled minds think alike!

Was thinking of turbo as quickest ET bike.Samauto to race seriously!!

Sam, let me know, it'll be ready. The fun has just begun!! Bill

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #66 on:** December 21, 2012, 05:06:44 PM »

Billy, I've been out and am very tired but if things are ok with you and Frank can get the bike there, I'll look at getting myself over.
I have a contact that might be able to pick me up if I fly into Tampa or Clearwater. It could be game ON.

Sam.

Sam, I have an old buddy/roommate from college days in Tampa I plan on utilizing if I'm able to go. He's been warned

We could work something out I'm sure. Place to stay if necessary too. Gotta warn you though, he can be a drunkard! You'd fit right in.

Logistics! This ain't no steenkin UPS

dragracer · « **Reply #70 on:** January 07, 2013, 06:00:13 PM »

Got to coordinate with Bill to get the bike. I may not get to Bradenton with it until friday morning though. Grandchild is in school and i'm the taxi driver-lol.

Looks like it'll be the wife, me and Sam dialing Samauto in for the weekend. As a precaution, Jon Weeks, we're putting you on standby so keep the phone handy for some last minute, long distance dial in adjustments from the Hondamatic expert.

jweeks · « **Reply #71 on:** January 07, 2013, 06:25:10 PM »

Frank,
It's been a standing offer to Bill, Sam, and Jim or anyone else working on a Hondamatic that I'm only a phone call away.

Hey Bill,

Any idea on how many of the ATL races you will make this season?? I see the schedule is up. We had planned to run the season at ZMAX but it appears they won't even have a bracket program this year. We are now leaning towards Commerce instead.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #74 on:** January 22, 2013, 10:28:09 AM »

Way cool.....all I can....finally concentrate on consistency!! Don't know if we'll do any good , but we'll have fun.Hey Jim, this means Frank and Glady's annual pig roast be in Commerce?

Even more reasons to show up.Great news!!

Bill
