The track definitely had problems on the big end and the shut down area. Way to rough for my liking. I won't be back to race there.

I think I'm good again Jerry. Due to less than desirable traction i wasn't able to leave quite as hard as i wanted so it actually helped me with adjusting my clutch release to the new clutch pack.

I forgot to measure my stack height before I did the final installation. I try to have a repeatable set up whenever i install replacements. Thanks to the new parts, my ET's are back to being consistent. Its hard to dial in a bike when the short timrs are all over the place. I've gotten slack on my overall maintenance and the clutch was one important area that went lacking. I won't let that happen again.

Frankie is your chain too long or worn out?

There's more droop in the chain in the first pic than the second pic. It might be from the bike squatting more at the launch, changing the angle of the swing arm. In any case, I would consider some sort of chain guide?

The chain was a bit to slack and needed to be tightened. Those pictures definitely show the amount of squat and how it affects geometry of the suspension in relation to the chain tension.

 We're proud of you Frank. That SOHC hauls!  Did it spin at the hit in the round against the chopper guy? That dude runs the wheels off of that chopper, a lot of laps makes a difference.

You are observant Don. Yes, it spuns off the line and thats what contributed to my loss. That lane prep wasn't the best. I has been running the left all day but lost lane choice due to chip drwa. He put me in the bad lane which was wise on his part. Not certain why i just didn't dial up and ease off the line but it cost me the win.
