Also, the airbrakes should have been locked.....

I didnt see any outriggers on there either, they usually just have a rear blade that keeps them from pulling backwards...

Must be a gasoline rig to, sure isn't pulling enough vacuum to run brakes off that diesel...

My bad... I should have said pressure. I just changed my vaccum operated fuel pressure regualtor and was thinking vaccum due to it for some dang reason. DOH! Bill

Thinking wrong. My specialty this last week. Where you racing at? I am currently planning on hitting the dunes Saturday and Sunday to get some more eyeballs on the machine to help me try to sell it. I hate even riding it as then I do not want to sell it. (Its listed in the for sale section here and elsewhere.)

I get a few tire kickers who want to take it out and trash on it. Not happenin. But somone serious will come along.

The DNR will not let me put a for sale sign on it on in the dunes so I park in places (Test hill and the beach) and I get a fair share of people jsut asking about it. Bill

Put a sign on it says for Barter....

Oh, I think odypilots and myself are going to run some race laps at i96 speedway on Sunday....
