You don't need much heat to get aluminum to expand so yes don't over heat it. And if you do get it to move and then it stops let everything cool back down to ambient temperature then repeat. To get the bearing to drop out of a water pump housing on a XCR 800 simple place the cover suspended bearing side down and use a heat gun on the top side. Small amount of heat and the bearing drops right out. Works good.

Head appears to be aluminum. Guess would somebody pulled the bolt out and got crap down the hole and either crossthreaded the bolt or gauld up the threads.

Aluminum expands at a lower temp than steel. There is a sweet spot while applying heat that the Aluminum will expand more than the steel that it my break the bolt free.

Was told today by a guy the stops at Mullen's shop that Brian, Mike and Benji Lacrosse are all running Lethal chassis's but have their own little twist on them. Mike's IMCA stock car is also a Lethal and he wasn't sure what Benji is running for a stock car chassis as Benji does not own the stock car.

Here's a grade school friend's couple that he had at Iola today. It has a streetable 427 in it.

Different ways of looking at it. It's also shifting to a higher gear technically. I'll go with what has worked for me over the years and with testing.

Enjoy and good luck. Your own private hell tour with the mod?

Curious why no 141?

Think he passed away.

This is only the 2nd local race I've been to this year. Busy this weekend and early part of the week. Heading up Nth next weekend. Then working Road America Xfinity Race the following week/weekend. They do have a IRA sprint car special at Plymouth that Friday we'll go to.

141 speedway has a 10K to win IMCA stock car special tomorrow. My schedule just never seems to line up to get there. Talking to the guy behind me thought he said they had 128 cars last Saturday and even with a short rain delay they still had all the races in before 10:00. Alway hear good reports on the way the program is run and the track prep from there. Tonight if they wouldn't have graded the track they had a good chance to get the full show in. The IMCA stock car and mod features were both 1000.00 to win tonight and the mod would have been a good race I think.

It's a nice wide track and normally don't wreck much. Little disappointed. The track had a good low and mid groove and the high groove was a little rough but guys were still using it and making passes. After the heats and LCQ weather was coming and then they decided to grade the outside grooved for about 30 minutes. Was 8 laps left on the IMCA stock car feature which was a good race and they never got the mod feature in before rain came in. Mullens are no longer building the Madman chassis and I believe they are running David Stremme's Lethal chassis I'm sure with their touch.

Seymour Outagaime Speedway

Nice Friday night at a 1/3 local dirt track

We're good with the landowner. Good guy

I was surprised when he told me Alliance picked up the cost for all the signage and material

Talked to the club that went through this and the steps they needed to take: 1) Permission from the land owner as normal 2) Contact the Solar company and normally the land owner will have a good contact stating point. In the other clubs case it as Alliance Energy 3) Once you have a good starting point and find the correct person to give you tentative permission they will forward you to the project manager. 4) Contact the project manager and they should have the grid layout. Arrange a meeting with them to review the grid. They will not break up any internal design of the grid but will look at the outer parameter. They normally leave anywhere from a 20ft to 40ft access are on the outside parameter. This is where they will let you look at options of where to put the trail. In the other clubs case they altered some of the outside corners for easy of grooming. 5) Get a contact name and number of the company that will be constructing the panels and under ground wiring. See if you can meet with them to let them know who you are and that there will be a snowmobile trail our the outside parameter and if they have any questions give them you contact information. 6) Once the project starts stay is contact with project manager to see if they have any questions 7) The route will have to marked heavily. For any additional signs, post and other materials keep a sperate invoice for everything that was included for the reroute of only the solar farm. I was told it took a little work and submittals but Alliance Energy actually reimbursed the club for all the signs and material. We'll see how this works

Wouldn't know but I'll take your word and probable experience Carry on

I've not missed a ride yet

We are the same in Wisconsin with the wind turbines where the trails goes by the base. With the fencing around the solar farms not sure.
