Next Friday at about 4pm and Sunday at 11am are the final 2 road races of the season.
I have been working over my ol' Z1 in preparation for practice Thursday and all out racing Friday afternoon.
Entirely updated fr forks/axle/wheel/brace, new pist rings/valve seats cut, sharpen trans dogs, rebuild rear shocks, and some cosmetic maintenance as well.
I will be degreeing the cams for high speed today, and breaking in the new engine tomorrow.

Long story made short. The week before the race I was practicing and testing at a Jenningsgp trackday. Last session of the day the #2 cyl liner spigot broke apart ruining engine...never had this happen before. Just a few days ago I completed full engine repair. It is tight and strong. Dec 1&2 at Homestead in Miami is CCS grand finale with vintage classes. I'll be there!
