Karl, didn't Andy say you could mix a little C-12 with his new U4.1 to pop the octane up a little. Didn't know if you were considering that.

Just a little reminder ... you guys may not want to "fill up" all the way.....I have run on one bar showing on the 12's fuel gauge.....1-2 gallons max to keep the weight down ;-)

hmmmmm.... maybe slosh some U4.1 into C-44???? hmmmmmmm.
I am gonna resist using any hybrid fuels so i can see what the pistons look like after running the mile w/C-44 & 14.5 ("low") CR.

I'm only taking a backpack. Riding to and from there. Thanks Jeff.
I just need a place to keep my stuff, stay away from the sun. A place where I can hang the
"Kawasaki ZX12 Racing" banner.

Yep! Rick Beggs who is now sponsoring me (R&R Cycles) is giving the bike the once over and doing it all as far as teardown and build-up. Roadracer, just got 2nd and 3rd @ Daytona last week in the GTU class.
R&D is shipping the trans from FL monday, should get it by Wed, and he'll be wrenching this week/weekend. HOPEFULLY everything gets buttoned up some times this weekend so I can give it a go....maybe Warp12 will meet up with me at the spot we have semi-nearby for a proper thrashing to make sure everything is running right. I think I have enough nos left for another blast...then off to the nos shop to refill everything before TX....

hey Osti!
You and Bill startin' to mosey around yr garage collecting all the bits and pieces?
Since MM won't be showing up with his signature bottle of scotch, i'll have to visit my Pakistani Package store guy. 
The wife and weezer making the trip? Helena wants to meet 'em.
Helena's going to the Mile as is Buddy's wife and his daughter & SIL (i think)
Wideout's wife and Son are probables.
Two car loads of TFA extended family are also coming down.
Gonna be quite a crew.
Buddy and I are thinking of heading to the track EARLY Sat to get in the gate and stake out space.
Gary,
How is Andy coming with Roberts Busa?? You coming to Space City this weekend and pick it up??

Karl,
TFA north is ready to roll!! Bikes are ready to go. Bill and I will leaving around 11pm wed night. Hope to hit your front porch at supper time thurs.  I have a deal for you...You provide the yummy BBQ and I will bring the scotch. It is the least I can do for you for letting us crash at your place. Unfortunatly the wife and weezer won't be making the trip down. They will be staying at home. My wife's mom is coming to town that weekend and will be staying at our house. It will just be me and Wild Bill. I will have room to haul a couple of people from Moo City to Goliad if need be.
Hope the weather holds out.
See you in a few days,
Ryan

Anybody else going from San Antonio? The shop where I'm getting the bike Dyno is going to have a tent advertising the shop over there. Other than that I don't know any other bikes going from SA.
