Lets see...

2-stroke + heat + electrical signal + slow starting line = crap.

I'm sorry to hear about the botched run Sam. Maybe next time You could start the bike up right before the run?

I used to get the bike warm before hand but kill it for about 2 minutes before making my timed runs. Helped with overheating and seemed to make a huge difference in response versus letting it run while waiting in limbo.

It is a 2-stroke right? I'm at work and my comp is slow sorry.

Hope you get it fixed!!!

It is a two stroke HT and that is what I did, they don't like getting to hot.

The rider that had gone down the strip before me must have taken his time getting of the track, that or the time keeper not being ready.

I'm frustrated just reading your story Sam.

You need to bring your little petrol powered generator and a floor fan to keep that engine cool when sitting on the line....obviously you cannot depend on the starting line officals to do the right thing.

Derek, they call him the Queen of NC Drag racing in those whites.

He may have trouble coming over to visit the States again.

I had to check in to find out when your planning your next trip over?

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #511 on:** July 20, 2009, 06:36:42 PM »

IIth or 12th November Rob, will be at Valdosta 13/15th then down to MS for a while.
Might be around your way around the 20th.
Hoping to start making plans in the next 2 weeks.
Hope yourself and Tracy are well, keep your eyes open for deer, we're running out of Ducati spares over here

man, since back on the bike I've seen more deer than ever, roads are covered with gravel,
I've drug my foot and the back end has skated in the gravel. I'm about over the shakes.

The duck is running great though.

when you come over this time plan for a meal at our humble abode.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #513 on:** July 21, 2009, 04:42:33 PM »

You bet.

I've just put my request under my bosses door for the time off.
I'll finish work at 6am Friday 6th November and won't get back in untill 6pm Monday 14th December. That gives me 38 days to have fun and I'll only use up 18 days of my holiday entitlement.

Sam.

Hi Rob and Tracy, holiday and flights booked.
I hope to be in your area around 23/24th November if all goes to plan.
I'll then go across to see Mark and my relatives the other side of Virginia, and then the cold part going up to Mikes.

Regards Sam.
