    Shannonville Pro Track circuit, 2002, SV650. I finished 7th out of 21 bikes.


    When was your last race? If you did track days for 25 years that's gotta be some sort of record.

    Talledega 1993, on an RZ350.

    Major transmission problem caused high-side going into bowl in ccw direction, 4th lap, leading my very first race. Had just got past a John Deer green Honda on the brakes the lap before for the lead.....

    After trip to hospital with concussion, and 2 weeks of my life that I don't remember, I returned to race again.:rolleyes:

    Never raced but the first one attended was 1987 Taaldega for a 6 hour. Crewed for an RZ350 running LW. Not sure what our team name was Team Zed maybe? Dunno, we ran through a number of them.

    2000 SV650

    2nd in Sat solo
    1st LWT SS
    1st F2
    2nd HWT SS

    Bike died on pit lane when the Solo was over. Ran VP on Sunday and it was

    a little better. Stripped the carbs when I got home.

    Should have been
    138-140 main
    17 pilot
    middle clip on needles
    2.5 turns on air screw

    Actually had
    152.5 mains
    15 pilot
    one needle clip on top, the other second from bottom
    one air screw 2 turns, the other 6 turns

    The carbs were the only thing I didn't rebuild before I raced it. :rolleyes:
