About Fairing

There are a lot of really cool looking bikes in the past years with full body's, I always wonder how they handled. I know my King Rat with that little fairing on it didn't handle well at all, that's why you didn't see it very often on the bike. Actually it had a better average without the fairing. It was hard enough trying to make a full pass and keep the front end on the ground with out fighting the ill handling part.

By the way, I didn't know Larry rode that bike. Don't like hearing about anyone crashing, it hurts.

This is a Brazilian Magazine, came out in May 2008. The Master Jumper on the front cover, I got the last page in the book, have no ideal what or how wrong the article is.

How long does Nitro last

Frank,

Yea, a fuel mix will change after that long, and Alkie does evaporate but not as quick as PO. Man, that was a long time for a gallon of Nitro Mix to sit around. Also did you take in account of the Temp of the mix and what temp your hydrameter read at.

Starting Rollers at Lions Drag Strip


I rememer the car The Chicken Coupe and I remember when they put those start rollers in. It changed every thing, bringing all the action right there in front of the spectators. It made it easier for all to get there machines started and it was exciting as H*ll.

Racing the Olden Days


Look what Bazza dug up for me. Look at the date and the price to watch a day of Drag Racing in those days. It's kind of hard to read but it's $1.50. And that's Clem Johnson and the Barn Job.
