Oops, that was my bad At least it held until we shut it off after the cam break-in.

I was very surprised when it started right up on the first try. I've enjoyed every minute of the build, but that first start-up is always special. We have lots of loose ends to tie up over the next few weeks, small stuff like the brakes and rear end . Should be fun...

Geoff, you get my PM about the "secret"?

 

[Geoff87]

Hmm..... no.

Last PM was about the floor....

 

[Hawaiian Turbo]

There's that word again..... "secret"

 

[HI85WH1]

Thats the one...

I found filler on the Left 1/4... and little patches here and there...

YOu want me to take pics?

 

[Geoff87]

Nah, I think I'll pass. Thanks though.....

 

[HI85WH1]

OK... scrap pile here you come... gotta pull the almost new windshield first...

I'll let you know if I come across anything else...

 

[71RSZ28]

Successful track test!

No times, just eighth-mile MPH tuning passes. It was still running at the end of the night so I'd call that a success.

Hey Tommy,
How'd Derek do on his bike later?? And congrats to Geoff for not breaking anything as thats something to be grateful for.. I suppose that he will be racing again this coming Friday?? (weather permitting) Hopefully he'll hit his 100 MPH 1/8th trap speed goal.
