And perhaps a book to read, there's a lot of waiting around, just ask Bill, one of his favorite sayings is "hurry up and wait"  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

     I'll be a broken record on this. The tree coming down takes 1.5 seconds. You see the first yellow before getting on the gas.  That means that you are actually at full throttle for about one second. I've said that if it holds for 2 seconds, it will work for us. If you power brake it for say 5+ seconds, the rear wheel will creep.  We want the highest possible pressure to delay the process as long as possible. That's why the line lock allows you to pump up the pressure as much as your foot can create. As with any new pad/rotor surface marriage, it takes a little friction to bed the two together well...   Slowing down at the end of a Friday test and tune pass, after getting front braked to a reasonable speed, you can use the rear brake a little to help them seat in well. It will work.  It has for me. If the bike moves on the starting line Friday, I'll help detune the bike until the brake will hold it still for the tree. The drivers of the hondamatic need a little practice with the setup to get used to the system. If it held with the rear wheel in the air, it should hold with the rear wheel on pavement.
     When the next suggestion comes in for how do we get a 10 second time slip from that bike, I'm getting an unlisted email address....

Started packing Jerry, looking forward to meeting you after all this time and returning Godzilla 1 back home.
I'm hoping Billy440cars and John JTB can make it as this will be my last trip.
Quite a few things have gone tits upwards in the last few days for me so I'm hoping this one will be the best.

SAMS-A-MATIC MAN:  Hope you have a great day at the track, only wished you could have raced at the NORWALK TRACK in OHIO.  As I have found this track to be the best of the best, Valdosta is second on my list of fine ,smooth tracks but  with the $452 cost round trip for gas I can race every WED.NITE and every weekend at my home track in OHIO. I will go to the CUP race at INDY as many of my old-time friends and racers live in the part of the USA.  Hope your bucket list get full in VALDOSTA GA.   See you down the road= CHEERSPOPS BK911

Oh heck, somebody just woke up the sleeping giant. Calm down boys, its a team effort. Give and take for the common good- A win slip for Sam Green. Thats what started the international effort and it should ALWAYS remain the central focus.

SOHC Invasion on its way- minus one SOHC :-(.

Dang Mark, i was hoping you would show up down there. Won't be complete without you. I guess you'll have to join Bill and I in Commerce next season for a few races. We have also started our own local series at Orangeburg Dragstrip that we hope Bill and Jim will attend- C.S.R.A Dragbike Association. Check out our group page on Facebook.
