Re: the slaughter circus

I would like to wish Trevor and the team all the best moving forward. Every time Trevor ran we all stopped and watched and hoped he would lay down that 300mph pass. Enough shit can go wrong with our blown 100cc bike let alone a streamliner. There would be nothing better then to be sitting at Bonnevi...

Re: Honda MG & MF 750

Have to agree on that rule about a fuel shut off. If you turn ours off it will run for another minute with the big bowl. And the fuel line cover is a pain in the ass on a small bike. Actually makes it harder to make the fuel lines secure. Anyways it is what it is, see you on the salt.

Re: New Tech Inspection Tents

Hi guys,

could you let me know what size of screw is needed to secure tarps and tents. We have cut a bunch of disks to screw through for more leverage, how deep we need to go to secure?

Cheers JP

Re: A couple of little bikes

Hi guys, we are also running a 100cc bike. And came across the same small frontal area for a tyre as you.

Re: Fuel Line

Re battery boxes, we are running a Lithium-Ion 12v battery. This is a dry cell sealed unit (like a RC Car has). This surely does not require a metal battery box. The battery rule must refer to liquid filled batteries, is this correct.

Re: Fuel Line

I just spent a day going to a number of different auto shops. AUTO Barn was the winner for the fire proof sleeve. Comes in a number of sizes and is soft enough so not to bend fuel lines if you have a corner. For our 3/8 fuel line we use number 8
