I guess it takes a combonation of big balls and a shallow body of water to be out on the ice....go Ted!

Great weather today, plowed the strip, made a few shakedown passes and so far so good, still on last years tune up from the warrior, but it seems to be a whole lot faster.

Got up into a crazy power wheelie, made a few quick adjustments and all is good now.

The Proline suspension is perfect, leaves real hard.

I have to work with the carbs a little, still a little too rich on initial hit but cleans out about 30 ft out.

Looking forward to some great progress this weekend, once I get the jetting and chassis squared away I will start turning up the boost and reclutching.

I will caution everyone the ice is still soft and should stay off unless your traveling 1 at a time and NO large groups.

All in all this weekend was a success, Got the chassis dialed in, got rid of the rich stumble and got the clutching close, now I have to gear up 1 tooth so I can stop eating belts at the finish line, it shifts all the way out then burns the belt at the cone.

Several guys where there with radar guns throughout the weekend all reported 131 to 133 mph in 660.

Now I have to work on the ET, it is good but there is a lot of room for improvement.
