Indeed It was a great day of racing! I tried the TaJoe5's T2 007 that I just bought from him and was able to get 11.5. Only at the Main got a few rear spawn out of control, especially regret the third one in which I was not able to get out of the Casey's way soon enough. Need to work more on the set-up.

Hey, how about the sponsor and chief mechanic?

Anyway, thanks to Casey, Bill J., and Jamie with the '008 setup.

Well the 007 came to me with Xray Alum. shocks so when I was transversing parts and electronics I just put the TRF shocks away for some other future use. In other words i am happy whith Xray Alum. shocks that are on it (T2 007) right now.

Randy,
Indeed that black Spur is smaller and it is 104T so now I need to get a few pinions to fill the gap between my 37T and 41T.

I don't own a NIMH pack so no I won't be runing. Going to run offroad for awhile and wait to see how all the touring stuff works itself out during the winter for spring time. Til then I have two offroad tracks 15 minutes from my house.

I figured with the FT Carpet race at Mimi's the following weekend, the 5th would be a good date to get the Mini crowd together for a mass gathering -at least everybody that isn't going to Milwaukee for the Novak race that weekend.

So Todd, Tom, Ray K, Ken, Bill, Chef, Wes, Rod, Senior, Jamie, Randy, the Vacek clan- everybody who has a Mini, bring it out to the C on January 5th for some awesome racing!

OK,
I have been called out.
It's too cold to ride motorcycles.
Brian,
I'm glad to see you get back to the street w the FZ6.
Now you have to come out & ride with a slow Buell & a really fast 675

I'm there Jan 5th to give & take lessons in Mini.
I hope Ray K is not as fast in Mini as he is with that Buell.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
MJ

Glad to be back on a Yamaha. Always been my favorite. Would like to check out your 675 sometime. They look pretty nice.
