Retiring from Drag Racing

I came to the realization that my drag racing days are over. The projects were gathering too much dust and the space those bikes are occupying is now needed more for street bike projects.

I just sold my 7" tire bike as a rolling chassis to the guys Son who had the most success on it. That kid had been on the hunt for it ever since I bought it back in 2012. Its now going back to a family that can enjoy it for what it is.

I am pulling the engine from it tomorrow or Saturday depending on how dirty it is. I stopping working on it in late 2021 so there is going to be a bit of cleanup required. Its being collected on Sunday.

I may sell or keep the 1327 engine, not sure just yet. I was talking to my engine guy and he said a local vintage sidecar guy might want it. It does have some 40 Lectrons on it that could be parted out. If I keep the engine for street use those are too big with no idle circuit.

I am also parting out my alcohol injected bike. The key items to sell off are the custom 43mm injector bodies, fuel pump, fuel tank, hoses/fittings, tuning bits, and the Mallory Sprintmag magneto and wires. That frame has the number ground off so it will be scrapped, but I can use the swing arm, forks, wheels, brakes, and engine. It also has a top notch paint job on it so that will see the streets again
I was so excited about the prospect of reusing the 831cc engine in it that I bought some big Mikuni round slide carbs for it to mate up to the non stock spigot spacing.

Its been a long time coming but I think its for the best.
