IS CYCLE X RUNNING THE 8.20 BIKE ?
« on: July 19, 2013, 03:52:57 AM »
CYCLE X 8.20 :     NHDRO and MAN CUP race at INDY will have the best 8.20 racers and I thought I read that they were going to run their SUPER 750 SOHC at that event ?  Bryan asked me at Columbus NHDRO was I coming over to INDY for this race and I told him running 2- time trials and 5 rounds with the other folks having two buy backs IN 4 1/2 HOURS was not my type of BACK TO BACK  racing = I will come over to watch and meet old friends from the past years [ COWBOY BOB NATIONAL # 2 NHRA SUPER/PRO DRAG BIKE 2012  won a $2000 race at INDY last month on a CM400A HONDAMATIC after I gave him the school on racing TURTLES ] I know he will be there with NHRA #2 bike and the HONDAMATIC 400CC.

I talked with Ken and saw the bike about 10-weeks ago.............Ken was getting ready for minor surgery to repair a hernia......and the bike needed major surgery to become a runner.  I'm planning a return trip to his shop over the next few weeks............

Dennis, tell Ken that lifting these 750 engines by yourself will cause hernias in OLD guys  ;)

I thought the frame was already built.

Sam. :-\

PS, my old brain,  ;D I remember, the carbs fouled the frame with the altered port angle. :-[

Sorry :  I put down 8.20 but should have put 8.90 as that would be a great number for a SOHC/750 to run on the 1320' Man Cup At INDY would be a great place to set that number in the books for HONDA.
