I've been watching that all week. At least the whole series wasn't canceled. 4 races at MIR and 1 at Atco now. Now i'll have to make a 7 hour drive versus 2 hours if I want to compete with them.

I'll probably stick with making all of the Man Cup races instead.

See you in Virginia Mark.

I heard there may be a Mancup race in Ohio next year. I hope so.

You would only hope that a MAN CUP could be at NORWALK RACEWAY PARK in OHIO as the big NHRA RACE is held at this fine IHRA TRACK owned by the BADDER family, short drive for SCHNITZ and the MPS owner was born in Columbus, Ohio so 2 out of 3 got ties to this location and many former IDBA racers live in a state that touches my neck of the woods. With ICE CREAM $1.00 A POUND the line is long.

I do not know, but my guess would be that it would be at Columbus along with the NHDRO race.

Another angle from this change is what rules will come out of the new sanctioning body for Street ET? There was one individual involved in the MiRock rules who made sure that all Hondamatics ran in Pro ET only. If he's now out of the picture, we might be able to run in the new series in Street ET. They were the only ones who forced automatic bikes into Pro ET. No other sanctioning body that I've found has made that distinction. This change is close to home since I have a Hondamatic to race in 2015 and I'm planning on going to Atco in September...

Pops, you'll now get to see the 10 second Matic and maybe even 2 after Bill quits fooling around.

I still have that $200 for that time ticket " that I see with my eyes " 10 anything, that's all I have heard about for the past 3-4 years 10 second HONDAMATIC SOHC....... I'LL GIVE A $1000 JUST TO TOUCH A BIG FOOT IN THE WOODS , another TV HOAX !!!!!!

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #11 on:** November 22, 2014, 06:14:05 am »

BILL: When that JB WELD broken jet falls into the bottom of the bowl and becomes a 1/4" hole your SOHC will become a 3 cyl. blowing raw GAS out of the pipe. We ran 1105 KZ motors on 122.5 - 125 main jet with Duane Williams head and if we would have used a 140 main, fat lady sing the BLUES !!!! You dyno that motor with the exhaust gas analyzer in pipe and it read 15-1

??
FOLKS : JB WELD will leak gas and in time riding down the road in your trailer = you will have a trailer full of gas fumes.

Good advice Pops. I can only hope Bill will replace that one carb with another or get our expert welder, Jim F to fix that post soon.

I think that's 3 out of 4 now. Bill has had good luck with the metal weld stuff. Nothing a new set of carbs won't cure.

Especially when it comes to welding trailer bearings to their axle!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2014, 09:56:00 pm »

Ooooo, that hurts BUT have you asked him about the new bearing?

From what I understand, it made it home...

but barely!

Jim F · « **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2014, 01:32:05 pm »

I welded one that was in 3 pieces last month (Emulsion tube) and it worked fine after he ran a tap threw it
let me know
Jim

POP's no dyno time! The stuff I used is Quik Steel sold at Wal Mart, stuff works well. Not a fix ll, but sure has worked for emergency use. Jim F would be a better fix. I'm building a new set of round tops, and still got the RS's and plan on getting with Pop's on the 33/31's! K. Trailer jokes I can stand! Deserve them, we been lucky!

Pingel petcock O ring finally gave up the ghost. Wouldn't shut off. Trailer #1 on list for 2015! I'll post a pic of plug after pass with 140 mains. Here you go, Bill

Will be at ATCO in SEPTEMBER standing at the ticket window with 2-$100 bills for that 10 anything on a HONDAMATIC SOHC MOTOR..... lot closer than SGMP.
