    Any WERA lurkers going to do the AHRMA event on the South Course this weekend? I see a lot of familiar names on the pre-entry list: Joyce, Andreson, Pooler, Dixon (the anti-WERA :rolleyes:), Mercer, Cummings, Roper, Rickard, Wells, Moore. Buff says he'll be wrenching for some west-coast guy...Henning, or something like that.

    Who'd I miss?

    Yeah I'll be there with my old pipes. We'll see what they try to protest me on this weekend. Fingers crossed that nothing happens to the bike and I'm full straightaways ahead of second again and make them feel dumb for protesting me last time. Got a couple of new guys from Nashville with me too.

    Are the new guys doing riders school, or have they already done that?

    Hey JW- is pffffft the sound that a Honda with stock exhaust makes?

    They are schooled up. John did his at the Vintage Challenge at Barber, Eric did his with me at Nashville last year. Eric raced at Barber last year, but hasn't been able to make any races this year so far.

    I'm planning to be in Jennings and may go to Talladega. Did my first race in mid Ohio. I'm trying to finish my GP350 as my Yamaha CT1 will not be competitive in GP350....I actually don't know if I can even race it on GP350 just for the fun....any input on the viability of use the CT1 in the event the 350 is not ready will be much apreciated.

    A CT-1 is usually what I ride for WERA 350GP (in AHRMA 350GP the competition is too tough, won't cut it). Haven't been able to beat smartypants JW recently, since he got his Honda sorted out. But I've put my on the podium more than a few times, at well attended races. Check some of the Mylaps results. If you see my name or Jack Parker's, that'll be a CT-1
    Shoot me an email if you want to talk CT tuning. jay.c.anderson at ulalaunch.com

    You were missed. Speaking of that race, I'm too embarrassed to admit why my motor lost power, but suffice it to say it wasn't anything very exotic, and digging any one of the 4 other carbs out of the box would have fixed it in about 3 minutes. :eek: Too bad, that was an epic race while it lasted.

    Hope not to be fooling with the CVs this weekend...gonna try a set of Mikunis if I can get them sorted this afternoon.

    I did not realise that is labor day weekend, Ill be there. Doesn't look good for VIR this weekend though. 450 is running and shifting, for now. 350 is still pushed into the corner. It won and then broke the camchain at Mid-Ohio. It will stay parked until I am no longer pissed off at it.
