Good to hear so many people are thinking about coming to Grattan this
weekend. There should be plenty of good Guzzi racing action - loop frame,
Tonti frame, and spine frame. We (MG CYCLE bike ridden by Dave Fulkerson)
run four races per weekend in two classes with a Tonti frame. The classes
are Formula 750 and Formula Vintage, one race in each class on Saturday then
the same again on Sunday. We enjoyed our first 1st place finish down in
South Carolina the weekend before last, followed by a 2nd place finish in
race two, but in the third race we suffered a valve failure which sent us
packing for home. Luckily, no major damage was done, but it sure looked
ugly with that roller rocker poking through the hole in the valve cover....
We finished putting it all back together tonight, fired it up, and only have
to safety wire it tomorrow before we load it in the van and head for
Michigan to try it again. Stop by and introduce yourself. We'll be sharing
a garage with a few other guys, and hopefully we will be relaxing and not
having to work on our motorcycle! Was nice to put faces to names in South
Carolina.
