Ha ha, he seemed very pleased with it Brian, plus I chucked in a few other bits for free, so I don't think he'll be gunning for me!

So Bear what's the story on the 'plastic in the oil' situation? All good, or did you have to pull the motor?

We where going to head off this morning, Tuesday.
But decided to pull the motor and will go tomorow morning.
Motors on the bench at the moment.
The primary tensioner is aligned ok and doesn't seem to have alot of wear?
No shavings on the screen so we will bolt it back in and load up.

Cheers,
Brian

Great news, looking forward to the race report.

Better to be safe than sorry Bear, glad though all seems well.

Good luck, have fun!

Well we're are finally on the road.
Camped at Euroa after a six hour drive.
An hour and a half into Melbourne in the morning to pick up my leathers.
Apparently they have shrunk since the last time I used them.

So they have gone in for a few alterations.

From there it's a two hour drive to PI.

Cheers,
Brian

Good to hear you're on your way. Play safe, and don't beat up the kiddies too much. Please keep the pic's coming.

Ah, if only.
It's the kiddies that beat me up these days Brian.

Subscribed. Good racing wishes to all.

Figure Bear's 1st practice should be around 6:30PM Toronto time. Know what I'm doing this evening.

To bad there isn't live video to go with it.

bear · « **Reply #67 on:** January 23, 2014, 11:54:25 AM »

It's 7am and I'm just having a cuppa before heading to the pits.
We had about an inch of rain last night.
Should make things interesting.

Cheers,
Brian

Tintop · « **Reply #68 on:** January 23, 2014, 12:03:22 PM »

I checked the weather report earlier, and it said rain in the AM Friday, and then sun for the rest of the weekend. Your 2nd practice session should be dry, along with the 1st qual.

bear · « **Reply #69 on:** January 23, 2014, 12:04:42 PM »

Brian,
They put the American Vincent with period3 and the 2 BMW's with us in period 4?
There is suposed to be maximum of 24 for the sidecar grid and there are 32 entries.
Look's like some ones going to miss out.

Cheers,
Brian

I want it to piss down Brian.
I'm probably going to strugle physically around here, the rain sould bring them back to me.

Cheers,
Brian

Aaahhhh.......rain the great equalizer. Not going to do a rain dance over here for you though. It'll just get me more snow!

I hear the Yokohama AO48's are really good in the wet, better than the Dunlops, or Avons.

If the Bimmers are 16" / 750's they'll be at a big disadvantage to the Oz 13", big motor P4's.

Tintop · « **Reply #72 on:** January 23, 2014, 03:30:11 PM »

Beat you it Brian.

Well done 3rd in class.

The Bimmer right behind you is the green one in the photo I posted earlier.

How big is that Atlas, can't really be a 750?? Guy's got to have ones the size of grapefruits.

Tintop · « **Reply #73 on:** January 23, 2014, 06:56:18 PM »

Hummmm......wondering what happened in the 2nd sidecar practice. Only 1 lap for Brian.

Not good.
We do one lap.
Then it starts tightening up then locks up completely.
If we can't get a a good lap time in qualifying, we won't get a start.
Only the fastest 24 on the grid for the "Classic".
