     Eeeeek |
I would want dual discs not for extra stopping power, but for better feel in corners (trail braking). The single disc felt like it was crippling me. | ||

Hi Vic, nice to hear from you again! | ||
| Apex1 |
Good luck to everyone out on the salt!  | ||

Orngm2. I read an article where they put dual disks (all Buell) on a M2 or an X1. The consensus was it made braking too sensitive, and actually hurt handling with the extra unsprung weight. | ||

Jack: Great pics and it looks like perfect conditions for some serious record slaying! Off to dodge the limbs in the street to head to work...this hurricane, at least as it appeared in NYC, is what we used to call a "brisk wind" in Kansas. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US POSTED! Court | ||

Guys, Landracing.com has the commentary up from the first day of racing. TeamElves started the meet off but turned out with broken head bolts on Aaron MPS-PF 2000cc bike. Hope to hear more from our guys but the landracing.com has remarks on TeamElves and what they are doing on both days. TeamElves is getting some much deserved mention. | ||

vik,kevyn, the suspension mods "ractec 1.0 and oil"helped my braking,more than the stainless rotor and ferodo 911 pads" Hillbilly. 97M2 | ||

Good and bad news from the salt ... Conditions SUCK. The salt is so slippery you can't believe it. Much rain Tuesday night. But it's drying quickly and should be improving. Yes, the RR had a problem on it's first pass. Signs of detonation. Something we saw a lot of in development but we thought we had it whipped. Anyhoo, we had enough parts to put it back together but it had to go back to 1650cc in the process (not enough of the 2000cc legal parts). Several changes made to hopefully hold off the detonation this time. Finished it's reassembly too late to get it back on the salt today but it's all done and we'll take another shot tomorrow. Wish us luck. Susan turned over the reigns of the 1350cc S1 to Richard after failing to find a solution to her lifting helmet problem. Damn thing was choking her and she couldn't hold her breath long enough. Richard ran 167 against a 150 record. That's damn fast with only 1350cc and no fairing folks. The bike is classed on M-PF but is running gasoline without any nitrous or anything. His backup run is tomorrow morning. The 166.590 M-PG record is our ultimate goal for that bike. But one step at a time. Ray had a good day, putting a sidecar equipped Blast into impound. Sounds like it's running pretty good. Peter managed 152mph on my M2. This is a 1250 kit equipped street bike that runs on pump gas. He's gotta do that one more time and it'll be official for the 150 club. Then Paul is going to try it. Terry Parsley is running a 600 Blast but he's struggling with the gearing. He'll get it sorted. FMJ had some fuel delivery issues but he's working on it. Lots of other folks here and much more to report, but I don't have more details, I was awfully busy rebuilding a motorcycle as you might imagine. These folks I mentioned are all running Nallin Racing stuff so I try to keep up with how they're doing. We have a BIG group. Probably 50+. Seems like anywhere you walk in the paddock, you see folks with Team Elves shirts. | ||

Several records set this morning ... Richard, Henrik, Chop, and Ray all made it into the books. Quick update on my part of this deal before dinner ... we changed the fuel in both bikes, the RR to combat detonation and the S1 because it was being moved to the gas class. Both changes put us into the weeds on tuning. The gas did not move the jetting in the direction it was supposed to, based on the differences in the specific gravity of the fuel and the advice of the fuel man. Each bike got 3 passes in today and by the third pass, we were getting the tuning close, but we still weren't there. The RR ran 190.8 against a 192.2 record and the S1 ran 165.9 against a 166.6 record. We're hoping that another fine adjustment coupled with the cool morning air and continually improving (but still bad) salt will put us there. If we had conditions like we had last October, we'd already be there. But no excuses, gotta get it done. Wish us luck! | ||

Aaron, any progress reports on how paul..aka snail..is doing with his GSXR1000? | ||

Congratulations ! . . . this looks like a record number of records! My bet is on more tomorrow. | ||

Gallery3 33.6 sucks. I'll redo the galleries (consolidate and upload larger versions) Mon or Tues. I also have video of the 130Club I need to edit and compress. edited by josh_ on September 20, 2003 | ||
