Rest in peace, Steve.

Sold.

Thanks for all of the interest.

I'll be visiting trackside, just the same!

My body has been telling me for a while it's time to stop racing, and let someone else get out there with a sorted out fast rig. Black/yellow XS powered rig, currently running as #69 Chrome moly frame, migged and tigged by others. I can braze.... Frame design based on Paul Whittaker's design, but wi...

Well put, we missed them at our comeback......

I/we haven't been out to play, for a variety of reasons, but we finally got out for Saint Eustache. It's been repaved, but the cars have made ripples in some spots. Better than it was. Still turns the wrong way.... and it kind of hurts, not running at the front. I can see your tears already! Barber....

If you had a great time, and now have a starter, why aren't you heading down to Ste Eustache?

Ian

I found myself out of a job last week (plant closings, 2600 out, one shot), so the toys will need to help keep things going. I'll get the pictures up later today. It hurts like hell, selling, I've missed not being out the last 2 years, but if we're not going to be able to be out there, better it's o...

Thanks Paul, Vic. As Paul wrote, I'm suddenly unemployed, and my whole setup is for sale. Very competitive rig, spare motor, tires, gears, lots of other stuff, as well as my enclosed 6x12 enclosed trailer. $11,000 takes it all. I'll be posting the details later on today, or contact me at bruce_id at...

We can't make it either.

Ian & Sandra

If memory serves me right, there's someone down your neck of the woods with a Norton powered outfit, that would only require slight modifications to put back on the street.

I believe you already have his email.

I know I'll hear about this later, but how can I resist?

Ian

Not sure if Sandra and I can make it, IF my memory is correct, that is the weekend of her college graduation. Kind of important for her, and the family. If it is not, we'll see what we can do. What will be the license requirements? AMA membership, as in the past when the event was run by/with the US...

Thanks for the invite, but I too, will have to pass this time. The nerve of people having a wedding on a race weekend! And it's not even mine!

We'll hook up one of these days.

Ian

Pencil the Bruces in.

This will get me in some hot water, a close friend of ours is getting married that weekend, and they made sure that their date would not interfere with our racing.

What kind of numbers are needed to make this happen?

Whittakers
Bruces

Who else?

Ian

Pretty good synopsis.

"Fatigue" was arm pump, mostly caused by finding neutral on downshifts. You can really go deep into a corner in neutral....

Have the oil fill removed, am now trying to cram gears inside!

When do we see Mr Wragg at the track?
