Status: offline 		hey all.

found out what was up with my hyper 21. NO COMPRESSION! ZERO! With the flywheel off I can spin the piston with no effort at all. Not sure why that motor got bent so quick. Cant be more then 2 gallons through it.

Anyway, installing the OS now but ill need to pick up a new flywheel and clutch from Stampy tomorrow if he has got'em,

Joe just emailed me back about the race. Should be easy to find. Its a straight shot down Rt29 and you make one turn when you get there so should be easy. The buggy class is open so its run what you brung.
He said he hopes to get a guy from Roanoke to run the race since he has a stransponder set up but not sure if thats final. I thought about offering to do it but Im not sure if I will be able to go or not. Anyway I guess we will talk more about it this weekend.

Status: offline 		Bill - I had the same thought about using your existing flywheel etc.... should fit.

If Stampy doesn't have what you need - come on out on Sunday with all your stuff -- maybe a couple of us can help you patch something together until you can get what you need.

Yep -- the more I see of the ofna engines the more I want to move far away from them. I currently have the hyper 21 8 port race engine - but it will probably be my last ofna engine. You are going to love that OS RG - it is a great engine I have been very impressed with it. I know that Manders loves hers - I doubt that anyone could pry that thing away from her.

yea the flywheel will fit but it seems kinda wore down. New one was cheap! picked up a clutch (man was mine in bad shape), a 13t bell (was a 14) and the new flywheel.
Now if I can just find the time to get it all put in and broke in ill be golden.

Ill talk to you guys about the race in Amherst this weekend, I at the very least would like to go and watch (maybe drive). Should be a good day. Hell, its father's day, I can do whatever I want right?

Manders wants to go but she is not sure about racing but does want to go and watch. Don't know why she doesn't want to race -- I am sure that she would kick some major boy butt down there -- oh well, maybe Kevin can talk he into racing this Sunday.

Eddie I told you that last Saturday you knuckle head! Im not sure what time I will be there on Saturday. It depends on what time I get up and I really need to get the mower out and bushhog this jungle I call a yard.

I wont be able to go to the race on Fathers Day. I need to go see my Mom and then I think the family is going to the cemetary since its the first FathersDay after the fact.
Most likely I will go run some at Scotts later in the day.
Besides its not looking like this race is going to be a big deal. It seems like something that is just thrown together and you guys might be racing they same people you usually race.
I hope you guys do go though to check out the track and the locals. Someone needs to take some photos of the track so I can see it. Also talk to the local guys and try to get them to come up here to race.

Bill bring your stuff by on Saturday and wecan hook it up and break it in for you. If you want I will work on the setup and see if its the buggy or the driver.

Status: offline 		yep Scott called me last night and confirmed what Fast Eddie had said about Wayne working and that the racing is at his place on Sunday. Hey Kevin - I told Scott about this site and explained to him how to find it -- but if you can you may want to show it to him today (Saturday) so he too can get logged on here. This site has proved to be a good tool to communicate with each other.

Bill - you are going to love your buggy when Scott and Kevin get through with it. Scott told me that you had some trouble with istalling the new clutch -- that thing can be a bugger the first time can't it? I have learned alot from Kevin and Scott re: set-up etc... that has really helped me and made both of our buggies run and handle better. Probably one of the reasons I have not yet upgraded to a newer buggy yet.

See y'all on Sunday
