Just a little use less information ...........Back in the early 80s the Byron dragway in Illinois got rained out 7 Sundays in a row ....... I had a good friend that worked there (lived there in a trailer and watched the place too) and he told me the owner almost went bankrupt over it ..... they even came and re possessed his caddy for missing payments.

I went to 4 of the meets keeping thinking there is no way the weather man could be right but he was,

I'm not worryed about the rain out in fact it'll give me time to
do the clutch arm mod.and maybe get the air shifter in time.

That's the way to handle it. "When it rains lemons, make lemon aid."

hey dave, i seen on the news that the Austin area got hit hard .hope there is no flooding near you.

We're all good got lots of rain but we're not in a flood prone area.

Heres the f^^^ked up part of all this rain since I make a living repairing
lawn mower's this time last year we were worryed about no rain and nobody mowin
right now ain't nobody mowin because we've had too damn much rain too fast.

Makeup date will be June 7th.
I should have plenty of time to do the clutch mod.
but not the airshifter that will have to wait on the next bonus check.

Did the clutch arm mod today and it seems to work like I planed.
The pull at the lever is a lot lighter and now have two times
as much useful travel at the lever.
Whipped up this little plate to bolt to the arm as a test piece.

Turned out the little plate worked better flipped over.

I'm going to run it bolted on for the next race and see how it works then I'll
cut and weld it and get rid of the bolts.

Good idea, more leverage. I wonder if I can do something like that on my Z1.

Steve I think with your ball and ramp with the push rod setup
you'd be better off doing a hydro clutch setup.

Anyways bikes ready weather chick says it's gonna be hot
but dry this weekend and I ain't got a damn thing to do but wait till Sat. morning
and load the campin gear.

I have the worm drive set up. If I can only find my extra arm or buy a used one. I was thinking about that today coming up here. My cables would last longer and be easier to pull.
Have a blast out there and put up some pics. At least I can see what's going on out there.
