Twingle

Thanks Teazer. There is quite a bit of work regarding crankcase breathing both internally and externally. Leaving for the National Titles in 3 weeks today and doing private testing tomorrow. We were rained out 2 weeks ago. All the best Jerry

Well, we finally got the to race the 250 Twingle last Saturday nite at Beaver Creek Speedway.

What a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The venue is a 1/5-mile hard clay short track, located just North of Huntsville, Alabama.

We opted to let the Steven, 33 younger and 33 pounds lighter, ride the 250. I rode the 63’ Harley 175 Hummer. Steven had never raced flat track and I had never raced period !!!!!

But WTH, not getting any younger.

After we chased a few ghost, (broken ignition wire, fuel flow problem, etc) the bike ran great. It’s torquey and very quick out of the turns.

We were hoping to run the 250 in a Vintage 250 twin class with other 60’s stuff, but there wasn’t enough entries, so we got to run against a Champion Framed XL250 and a Bultaco Astro 250.

I got lapped twice in the main event. The CL finished 3rd in the lead lap.

Still Grinnin’

Track prep looks awesome, used to love those blue groove car tracks at night!
