I'd love to go, but I have two piece leathers with 360 zipper and I think they require a one piece for the unlimited class.

I have a two piece leathers with a 360 leathers too. But as a beginner they will only let me go to 140 mph. Heck I do that on the way home from work :hys:

Recheck the rules I think they changed their stance on the two piece suit.

I might go as a spectator but i think I will save my money and wait for El Mirage. the last of my turbo parts should be here by next Tuesday, then off to the tuner. Still looking for someone to do the tuning........

Excellent, I'll have to re-check. I just printed them out when they first came out.

It's hard to find fat boy leathers for a good price, LOL.

Dang Karl, your on top of it! I just checked as well, hope they are working on it.

Did you put shrink wrap on the bike for Miami?.......or do you still have one last dyno session?

I'll be at JC's this weekend, fingers crossed.

Congrats on the up coming wedding, only two more to go!

Hello, Everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself and invite all of you out to try out what we hope will develop into one of the great race sites on the west coast for asphalt mile shootout racing.

I know several of you bike racers have expressed concerns about our initial rule book release and the safety requirements, and on our forum you will find a couple of threads discussing this, hopefully to your satisfaction.  We are pleased to welcome aboard Scott Horner as a key Technical Advisor for the bike side of our rules, and we will certainly try our best to get it right before this inaugural event.

Regarding leather riding gear, we are essentially clarifying our statement to read that the standard 2-piece leathers with the 350/360-degree zips will be allowed for Unlimited racers.  Look for this and other clarifications to come out in the Rule Book as we continue to revise it.  As we promoters are car racers ourselves, we are still coming up to speed in the bike world, but with the help of Scott and input from experienced racers, we will get it right.

Another concern many of you have expressed is the inability to come and race unless your vehicle can return to the paddock under its own power.  Our main reason is that the return trip down the parallel taxiway back to the Paddock crosses two active runways (not the one we will be using -- there are three total runways at Mojave) and we initially felt it would be difficult to coordinate the push/pull vehicles at the finish end and get everyone back smoothly.  Since enough of you have commented you might otherwise come, I have decided to revisit this issue with our Mojave hosts to see what/if/how this could be supported.  Stay tuned.

While it is true that our first event will be only 1 day, we intend to make all future events 2-3 days long.  The decision to run a 1-day event first is to build a relationship with the Mojave Air and Space Port folks, our hosts, and to learn what we can logistically do in a day.  As we develop, expect us to add in record classes and bring our program more in line with current ECTA, SCTA, and other timing groups to give you records to shoot for.  This first time, though, we just want to show both our hosts and our participants that we can execute a clean, safe, and fun event, and we hope to see a lot of you there.

Best Regards,
Mike Borders

The new rules are posted on mojavemile.com   I think most, if not all the concerns of the rules by SCTA/ECTA members have been addressed.  Basically, SCTA/ECTA legal bikes and gear are good to run at this event.  I am looking forward to a great time, there are a bunch of us going out to have fun/test early in the year..  Entry is $199 or $210 if paid with a credit card.

 I have run 200+ on the runway in May of last year and it is a nice venue.  There are great people behind the Mile effort, give them a call with any questions.  Bike guys can contact me if you have questions.  Only 70 grid spots left!    Scott Horner   headsuplv@aol.com

Jay, are you going to make it out? Spectate? Run?

I'm still working on getting Cheese to make an appearance, If you said you were thinking of going I am sure
it would increase the odds. LOL



As a side note I did hear some fella from up north of ya might be heading down with a mean turbo 12.

Depends on house closing date, LOL.

I'm about to go to the frigid garage and pull down the motor, get it ready for a trick Y2K head.
My plans for mojave are getting firmer...
You up for a quick dash to California?

Yep, I heard you were getting a trick new head, I hope it keeps building to 13K! Did ya shave a couple of mm off them intake runners? It would sure make it fit a little nicer in the frame with that Monster stroker you have, LOL.

Yes sir, just let me know as things get firmer on closing, but don't try to force anything.

Hey Karl if you get a chance and do not mind, can you email me the TFA Logo that goes on the shirts.

Thanks a bunch,

Gary

PS:fixed the pan leak on the old Busa, just waiting on a blow off valve spring. Someone had mine cut to the nub.
PSS:Cheese may be putting the old Copper Top back together soon with a very nice header from Mr. Horner at Heads up performance! (Shameless Plug)

Thanks Jay!  I really think these guys (MKM Racing) have a great thing going and I volunteered to help in any way to help produce a successful event.  We have a tremendous base of west coast speed freaks that need a venue like this to enjoy.   It also has attraction for out of town racers with the airports proximity to Los Angeles.  Are you bringing the 'Vette out?
