The Hogs Gone Wild racing series is returning to Shadyside Dragway in Shelby, NC tomorrow and Saturday. The Friday schedule includes a Harley versus Metric 16 bike shootout. I've decided to enter the class with the old Supersport. I haven't raced the bike all season long but plan to try my luck in the saddle at this event. I'll probably enter it in the gamblers race later that evening.
And to my good friend Jerry, nope, I have not freshened up the engine yet. I'll be racing on a wing and a prayer that it stays together. My local machinist is back up to snuff now so I'll be taking it apart soon to get the head rebuilt with new stainless valves. Those stock Honda valves have served me extremely well for the last 25 years but it time to upgrade. Nope, it won't add an discernable horsepower to the package but it'll help seal up the pump.
If anyone on the forum lives nearby, come on up to this event and hangout. Unfortunately, I won't be there for Saturday's feature though.
