I don't think that we had one of those at the Willow Springs race.And don't forget the all important GREEN FLAG that starts the race.
I will see what flags Grange race track has if I ever get out there......
Only 19 days to go.........

I an running those same parts so let the competition be warned .See Ya in the pits...yes you will. I will have 4 bikes that will race. Two of them will be 2-strokes and two will be 4-strokes.
I am sure that one of the 2-strokes will cause controversy with the motor I have built. Let’s just say it’s made by a relative of Frankenstein....and his friend Puchy
The stock slat heads are prone to warp and blow head gaskets even more so if milled . Just not enough material there .Jeff, Your Bike looks great, can’t wait to see it. what is the part # for that Puch head? I’ve been looking for one for my ride and don’t know which one to purchase.
And D*cDave, don’t talk too much sh*t on the stock head because I’m going to be running a stock head at the Grange and if you remember I was running an unaltered stock slant head at Willow aswell……
Actually, the cylinder, bearings, connecting rod, piston and rings, intake, and Carb are all stock manufacture.
The only thing that is not stock on my engine is a modified intake manifold from MMechanic, air filter and exhaust from SBP, Dellorto main jet, and Jaguar CDI, which these don’t really qualify because it’s not part of my engine, it’s ‘bolted or added on’ to the engine.
3 weeks till the big race, and I’m ready…………I hope
I an running those same parts so let the competition be warned .
Nothing like a tight squish band .I'm shooting for 1.5 mil piston head clearance squonch band are dudes tacking bore and stroke?
I had some question about race dates so here is the plan
so everyone has lots of notice.
SoCal Motor Bicycle Racing Schedule for 2012.
It mainly comes down to the weather, daylight hours and being able to
space out three races in a year with enough time in between them.
Also avoid holidays and other undesirable dates.
When you consider all the above there really isn't a lot of room to move
the 3 dates.
I announced the Oct 22nd race right after Willow Springs as Sept 24th but
after looking at the weather reports for the last 10 years moved it to Oct 22nd
because the average temp goes down 10 degrees from over 90' to about 80'
I am glad the date was moved because Sat Sept 24th was 88' at 11.35am
and still 90' at 3.55 pm. Too hot to be wearing safety gear and helmets.
If you look at the Grange Race Track calendar there are almost no races
in September and October is booked solid for every weekend except for the last one.
Why? because it's too hot in September!
On November 6th daylight savings kicks in and it gets dark at 5 pm which is
really miserable as the days are really short and winter weather is starting.
There are no permanent lights at the track.
Never going to do a Grange race in November or December for many reasons.
Never going to do a race in August or September as it's way too hot.
That leaves October as the only choice.
I am paying attention to the weather this month and the race may be moved
by a week or two in October 2012.
I can give you the same reasoning for a race date in late March or April but
am still not 100% decided on the exact date.
The 2nd race of 2012 will probably split the time between March/April? and Oct
and will deal with the heat by being a night race under lights.
Anyone have some feedback?
a rose by any name -I spell deuce duce so squonch band is just more of the same dyslexic fun. speaking of fun I got my "NEWSED" that's used but new to me- parts to replace the piston on my RAW motor it lost the pin that holds the rings in place scarring the cylinder and braking the small beveled gear.I had a time of it porting as the cylinder has different ports, higher and smaller with a 90* edged transfer port the fist cylinder had the angled port for better scavenging so I went with a bigger power port and piston port as I run a reed block should be fine.Nothing like a tight squish band .

I'll build it to day and I guess we'll see how it runs
P.S. squonch!
You do not need any kind of drivers license.Do I need a CA motorcycle license to enter? I don’t have one anymore.
Your bike does not have to be registered.Does the bike have to be registered? Silly question but it’s not registered. Most of the bike is built from E-Bay parts.
There is no timing tower at Grange that measures speed.Will the timing tower be operational or just the radar guns? My speedo only goes to 50 and I still have a fist full off throttle so I don’t know how fast it really goes and I want to.
If you wear a leather jacket you do not need to wear elbow pads.Would I need elbow pads if I wear a leather jacket?
There are no special requirements for pads.Are there any special requirements for the elbow and knee pads?
DOT helmet is good and required.I have a DOT helmet. It’s open faced. Will that be okay?
You do not need to join any organization to race or ride on the track.It’s a 430 mile round trip from here. Do I need to join anything?
There will probably be trophies and there are all kind of prizes fromWill there be trophies for the winners? Never got one of those.
138cc Whizzer up against 160cc bikes. I’m not sure I ever will.
You must sign a waiver and get a colored wristband before you get onDo I need to buy insurance or sign waivers or what?
You can pay at the track on Friday 21st or on Saturday 22nd at the gate.Is there a registration deadline or can I register at the track
Sorry. I don't know of any Whizzer clubs or Motorized Bicycle clubs.Do you know of any Whizzer clubs in Southern California?
Of course that is fine if anyone wants to sell or trade parts.any used parts or venders allowed?
They're not used they're 'newsed' as in new to me, spare part trading kept more then one bike on the track last time at Willow Springs - nuts, bolts, pedals and tubes with 5 patches on them all good stuff when you need themany used parts or venders allowed?
Bring what ever you want to sell.i bought some part's on a whimm [like 2 sets of suzuki forks] and some other used and new stuff i need do a little clean up thats all thanks. dennis
