[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 38970, member: 2781"] Sid here . Our racing failure s so far have been , Bonneville , one pushrod ate one ball end on the twin , and the single burnt out its coil . At Ohio mile. The magneto had its stub drive end shaft break loose , began to wobble badly . At Maxton mile , first runs there , exhaust valve seized up in the bottom guide . Still we got records at all three venues , not great but some satisfaction in it . See the Record books for verification . Between single and twin we completed 10 runs across the 5 mile course . That's 50 racing miles over the salt on our first attempts there . Travel there and back home took 3600 miles . Done on a shoe string as was building the two machines . [/QUOTE]
