Doncha just love Weslakes?

Any updates?? We lost the Oct. and Nov. El Mirage meets and are now deep in LSR withdrawl. Any info would be great.

Hoof I think you're right about Tom Evans There aint much he doesn't pick up on I spent Bonneville speedweek at motorcycle tech this year and learned quite a lot from him G I often wonder how Tom learned so much. Did he learn by doing or seeing? : - ) But I'm grateful he's there and hope he will be...

Tom Evans is our head scrutineer. I think he was a consultant to God when God was making the lakebed. He knows most of the dodges. I won't say he knows them all. I ran a fiberglass primary chainguard on the Norton for years. It was'nt until the primary chain let go just before the lights and took a ...

Nice plan indeed! Except for the already stated fact of photographers plus when I filled the oil bottle with water the tech people sealed it with tape and paint. Photos can get you introuble too. At the July El Mirage meet my deadman activated. Its located on the right handlebar beside the throttle....

Last year at World Finals I ran afoul of 7.F.12. I had built a seat with a slight curve and it was deemed illegal. I had to take a plastic quart oil bottle and fill it with water (and it was sealed and painted) to push my butt forward to clear the curve of the seat. Screwed everything up as I had ex...

LOL! I have heard it mentioned that traction at El Mirage is overrated!

I want to shout congratulations to the team!!!! But all I can think of is 394 exit speed!!!!!!!! Holy Toledo!! What will happen when they get it sorted?

Greg, It was my pleasure to shake your hand and have an all too short chat. Congratulations on the 201 run (red hat and all)!! I would love to know where you and Noonan and the rest find grip for such runs! A big tip o' the hat!

Hey Bones, I met Greg at El Mirage. What can I say? Two red hats and 203 on a crappy lakebed. Really nice guy. A pleasure to talk to and I learned a bit about lake Gairdner. I ran OK. Like I said the lakebed is pretty bad. I found a good spot between the car tracks for about a mile but I hit a soft ...

I noticed that. I thought speedtv was the only ones that could screw up forum "improvements". I think this is the photo I put up earlier. If you need some better ones let me know and I'll go shoot the engine. I hope you let me a few bits at Dave's!!!LOL I was at Cody's place today to get s...

I've got Bonneville on the brain right now but a thought struck me (didn't hurt). If the Vinne survives BUB are you going to run it at El Mirage? I've been running El Mirage for 14 years and have never seen a Vinnie there. Would be sweet!

Some packing!!!! Good luck!. See you at El Mirage.

Well, I've made it to the last day of having to sit on the beach and watch the shark biscuits surf. So far I've surprised myself as I haven't bitched or moaned once. But the cloc sure does slow down here. As soon as I get home tomorrow it will speed up again as the Bonneville thrash begins. I (think...
