Bill, Jim,

We should try to make a few of the saturday bracket races at Atlanta Dragway this season once you fellas sort out those minor growing pains on the dyno. I will have to bring the SOHC as all my other bikes are quicker than the allowed 9.90 ET which requires an NHRA license. They run the bike program on the 1320 so it won't be hard to dial it now based on the seat time and data you guys have collected over the last 2 weekends.

Those were my thoughts to Frank, the sooner the bike stops going faster due to loosening up, the easier it will be to dial in the ET.
Off home in a few hours, great being with you and give my regards to Gladys.

Hey Sam, I should have got you to bring back my JMR cylinder head in your suitcase :D

I would have had a case of Boddies waiting.

We would be hard pushed to get it from Boston in a few hours Nick:D :D :D but you can still have some Boddies waiting for me if you wish. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi Scun, there's more to come from just the motor wakening up, with the bottom end of the fueling sorted and a little gearing change, you'll see a completely different animal.
