    Got a call from Kevin Drum this morning.
    My exhaust should be here next week!!!

    I plan to tune her here but for the trip to Texas, I'll just do a global "add fuel" and hope for the best.

    I finally got a chance to get the muffler and bracket lined up and scribed.
    Hope to get it sent to Kevin this week.

    While that happens, I'm adapting am S2 fuel cell to my 1200RS Westwind so I can ride it.
    The RS tank has a destroyed lining and needs to go to California for repair...

    Alcohol in the gas affected the lining, causing it to harden and flake off, leaving the fiberglas exposed.
    Can't find anybody to do this so I'm going to unseal the bottom piece and re-seal from the inside.

    I have updates from this year..

    Went to both Colorado and Fall Texas miles, bested my fastest run in Colorado with a 178.4mph.
    Texas air is thicker but for 30 hp gained, I lost 40hp from drag, best speed was 173.4.
    Maybe I'll finally break 180 next year.

    What does it take to take on such an endeavor?

    I'm kind'a bored....

    What about the Salt Flats? Could the SX earn a 150 MPH award?

    Just wondering.

    And bored.

    Entry fee for the US Mile events is around $600.
    My RS cost me a hair over $20k.
    Race prep, supplies, fuel, hotel - around $400-500

    Lots cheaper than 150mph in a 75mph zone.....

    No plans for Bonneville, salt and magnesium don't play nice together.
