Not me, although I've always been interested in Legend/Thunder style road racing. A step up from my early shifter cart days. No boring oval racing for me, road racing is where it's at.

Good work mate, well done.
A question for you, when you say "2009 INEX Thunder Roadster World Finals Road Racing Championships", which nations of the world make up the competitors?

Klavdy,

      There are cars being marketed throughout various countries but, I don't know all of them. Pat did provide the website listing all of the competitors for the 2009 season. When we attended the "World Finals" in Las Vegas there were guys there from Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland and Morocco that were recognized during our drivers meeting in recognition of their attendance.

There was a full page add in the sports section of the USA today newspaper last Friday that listed all of the countries they are now exporting cars to. With the same add was also the release of the new name. It was previously "600 Racing" and they have now changed it to "U.S. Legend Cars International". I do not have official word of the reasoning for the change as it is supposed to announced at the banquet on Friday night.

Just checking in from the hotel in Charlotte, N.C.

Isn't that a fight with only one participant?

I wonder if there has ever been a competition between the Legends and the Aussie series cars?

Harvy,
      I had never seen these cars before. I quickly looked through the website, and they under the body look a lot like a Legend car; down to the FJ powerplant. If fact one this page, that looks like a Legend car smoking the tire under braking at the top of the page; http://www.aussieracingcars.com.au/cars.htm

Randy, glad to add to your "FJ 1200 put to the use off" knowledge.

Take a look at the Toyota Aurion page......that's the latest body kit for em..... do you guys have Aurions over there?..... the police use them here for highway work....very good aerodynamics evidentally.


Cheers mate

Harvey-

I am not sure we do have that exact car here in the US or if it's just re-branded.  We have the Camry and The slighter bigger, slightly more opulent Avalon.  Do you have these cars in addition to the Aurion?  If I had to guess, I'd say it's a re-branded Avalon.

Dan.......No mate, different car. At a guess it's midway between the Camry (they build them here too) and the Avalon (not available here that I know of) in size.

I have returned home from my trip and I had a great time. Toured around a little bit and was able to spend a good amount of time with a couple of good friends of mine.

I returned to well over 300 emails that I have completely gone through finally today. I have to go back to work tomorrow and will not be back to the shop until Monday the 25Th. I think I responded to everyone who had sent me an email, if not I apologize. Please shoot me another one and I will reply next week.

Chris and David your parts are one the way via USPS.

Thanks you,

Randy,

I have 2 sets of carb bodies (YZF600 ) that need help.

I let a local guy clean them in his ultrasonic, only to find out that he A. didn't rinse or blow then out and B. used simple Green as his detergent. I The butterflies were stuck shut and everything was coated with a dried film of what is probably the simple green. I soaked the carbs in hot water and sprayed the throttle linkage down with WD-40 to free things up. I also blew out all the internal passages with compressed air and they seem OK. I am just concerned that I didn't get all the residue removed.

Do you think cleaning them in your machine will ensure that they are clean. and if so, how much to do it. Both sets are stripped down and ready to "bake".

BTW just got the computer fixed today and will be sending out the YZF repair manuals shortly.
