Mike, you have yr shit together, but just like Rob, you can't stay away from the 1/4mi = scrambled guts
I just took my heap for a lil road test, make sure air shifter, logging all fine.
Yup, all good, pulling like a mo-fo in the 61F air.
Doug, we just might have us a runner.
One of these days doing 11500rpm 1-2 shift tests in my subdivision's 35mph test zone is gonna cost me

Thanks Karl. I decided to freeze the design and work on sorting out the pit bits. So far I decided to leave the lathe at the house.

I have it narrowed down to:
Nitrogen cyclinder (tires and air shifter)
Bike stands
basic hand tools
impact sockets for front and rear axle
electric impact
Generator
Computer
hand held weather station
ezup
fuel can
cooler
various lubricants
helmet
leathers
boots
gloves
AND
My wife has kindly allowed me the use of my balls for the event! What a gal.

I test drove my heap yesterday and then reworked some minor things. She's going to run and hopefully hit that big 200 number.

No but Johnny now thinks the dyno was reading low based on what the other bikes are reading so I think Yes.

Ryan,
TM site says that "gates" open at 2pm on thurs, so you figure TFA should have a good contingent in line on thurs to secure pit area?
Is the normal mc area gonna be reserved for MC's??

I always do what I can for the MC group. I now have the trailer and can most likely grap a few cones to block off some area as well.
