hi all more to come of pre 78 race
 
my 84 250 was lacking top end already on the Saturday it was only noticeable on main straight as it has heaps of low down power ,
before the weekend I tried doing squish band for the first time, machined about half a mm of surface of head using solder to make measurements but didn't realise you had to take some material from the inside of dome in head. So I thought comp was to high making it loose top end.
Just removed head and noticed power valve was in a strange position and was loose. there's a nut on the end of valve which has to be watched as it comes loose even with a new std nut on it .
Shame I didn't check on weekend

cheers arno

G’day all, what a great weekend.  Laine and I would like to thank everybody for their support and kind words.  Many thanks also to all who helped make the weekend a success.

Laine and Bazza (my father) did a mountain of work leading up to

the Saturday night do and without their help, I just couldn’t do it, so I’m very thankful for their help.

 

Sunday, Laine and Tracey in the canteen were put to the test and I think they did a great job.

Shanno and Russell also worked hard to make things run well.

We were running a little behind at first but I think it all went well in the end and will only improve now we have an idea on what to expect from the "big meets".

 

If someone could please pass on our thanks to the lovely Kim for stepping up and helping when things got busy we would appreciate it.

Thanks Mark,  I can't believe how many great photos were taken and Arno's videos. Very cool.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing more as they go online.

I'm still on a bit of a high after the weekend and seeing how well Pete and all those involved did an amazing job organising the schedule and getting through the day with no real problems.
