Good thing we had 2 front ends . Johnnies little insident tweeked the f4. Belly pan was deemed the issue for the oops in T2. We are good at swapping front ends out now. back to the f2. at least the bike is back to ballanced with the stock Hawk rear shock. Please leave us plenty of room out there the wallow is going to be hard to control.

If anyone needs a last minute replacement let me know.

I'm guessing the RSP team bailed then?

[Paul_E_D]

Yes...

[rolker]

Fack, I'm suddenly looking for a seat in this event. FZR cylinder was cracked. Hit me up if you need a fourth!

I can put a call out on the lists for a 400 cylinder?

I would strongly advise AGAINST aiding the enemy in this case. After all, KB's loss is our gain!

Fail.

Just a a heads up I believe USCRA requires the throttle cables to be wired as well.

[Kurlon]

Fail.

I can confirm that. That includes to the throttle and any inline adjusters.

USCRA 2012 Rules Committee Meeting Summary
Proposal 1: Adopt the use of transponders for all events.
Resolution: This topic was discussed and will be tabled for the time being. There are
issues concerning costs and having to potentially employ NHMS to facilitate
electronic scoring.
Proposal 2: Race results should be posted to the official USCRA Yahoo message
board/website within (7) seven days after conclusion of event.
Resolution: Scoring for any event will be the responsibility of the Race Director(s). Race
Directors are to collect all scoring sheets and final results by the end of a race
event and should transcribe and submit those results electronically to the
Webmaster within seven (7) days of the conclusion for that event.
It should be noted that Peter Booth has assumed the role of Webmaster for
the club. In addition, Shane Rivet will help to create a spreadsheet that can
be utilized for scoring purposes. This spreadsheet will be made available to
Race Directors. Thanks guys!
Proposal 3: Please allow floating rotor for (single disk only) bikes in HWSV class.
Resolution: This proposal was not passed. No rule change will be instituted. UH Ohhhhh. no problem for our bike.
Proposal 4: Allow tire warmers in the Formula Singles class.
Resolution: This proposal was not passed. No rule change will be instituted.
Proposal 5: Please allow me to run a turbo kit on my sidecar, but only me – Marcus #98
Resolution: This proposal was not passed. No rule change will be instituted.
Proposal 6: Masters to be split into 250cc or less and above 250cc. The only age

over 350cc minimum age requirement is 50 years of age as of the date of the
event. Eligibility will remain for Period I, II, and III machines only.

How do you wire a throttle cable? Is this at the tube side or the carb side?

With safety wire and safety wire pliers

BTW...we ended up swapping safety wire pliers. I want mine back!

Mine are the ones that stick. They're Motion Pro.

[Mustang]

Do we actually have pits setup on cold pit, NASCAR-style? i.e. would an EZ-UP be useful...or do we just have to go back to the garages to swap riders, get gas, etc?

[palanon]

Oh, my gooodness!! God help me. So many deviants, sooo much time!

Oh, the humanity!

Stop the madness! Think of the children!
