Seems strange that the Barber website shows nothing about the AHRMA
event...from reading the AHRMA website looks like motel rooms will be non
existant.

Getting close to race time in Alabama. How are you preparations coming

along?

I am still planning on heading over but I will only be able to get away

on

Sat. Can you send me any info as to where you will be staying

so I might

make reservation.

The bike is moving along, although at a slower pace than I had

hoped. I'm
at

the point where everything we do involves fabricating custom

pieces. Last

night we welded plates onto the frame for the rear sets. Today

I'm working
on

tying the linkage to the rear sets. Next, its off to the muffler shop to

bend

some tubing & make the 2 into 1 Tonti frame race exhaust fit onto the

Loopframe.

The frame mounted fairing is on & looks really cool. The Mikuni

carbs are

fitted & I finally found some velocity stacks for them so that birds &

small

rodents won't get sucked into the valve train. Still quite a bit of time

consuming

work to be done, but I'll make it. This race will be pretty much a shake

down

run for all the changes & give me an idea about what I need to address

over

the winter.

I'll be camping at the track, arriving Thursday night 9/25.

Practice all
day

Friday 9/26, practice Saturday & Sunday morning with racing starting

around

noon both days. Track info & directions at.

I also plan on making the last race of the year the following

weekend at

Talladega GP track. Camping at the track again & pretty much the same

schedule,

practice all day Friday, practice Saturday & Sunday morning with racing
beginning around noon both days.
