oh yeah... im laughing at my computer now.... he he he. How about..."the older I get, the better I was!" 

[Buggybaz]

Well you asked for it Artie Fartie! (my bro-inlaw hates bein' called that!) ....Here we go.
EVERY time I drink BIG mobs with ma Mate, Al Cohol, I can just GO n GO ALL night/morn! No kiddin' Mate! Ive heard of other Blokes havin' the dreaded Brewers Droop  But I seriously have the opposite prob,I can go n go for avg 4hrs....it's like liquid Viagra.I can GO,stop,GO,slow down,GO,stop ,turn around,try new position,full control,etc.
NOW all I have to do is intergrate all this into the Racing with a drip feed-tube off the helmet?

[Reidy02]

You're a bloody show off Baz!!!

[Buggybaz]

Ha Ha Reidy,just wait till my HellCam version comes out.I'''ll send ya the unedited version Mate.
Well it's been a while,not much to report on the Drak.
Motor is still doin' well after it's rebuild-touch ma head!,and have spent most time on becoming familiar with the TRA Clutch workings.Big thanks to Ozpilot Brendan who has taken on the Madona role of adopting a clutchless-clueless person. Thanks Mate!
I am,we are,he is,closer to desired results.ARE we there yet?....
Without the backup of a snow laden,sled shop on each corner country situ,we have had to adapt,adopt,address,undress drink our way around it.Made up some shims for the primary spring to raise engagement from 38-3900,to 4100.But I want more.I did try my hand at grinding a groove across the ramps to raise engagement,but it did no good,at least it did NO bad anyway.Hence the shims.
Also made up some TRA button holders from some 2mm ali.Working on 2 diff TRA's with only one set of button holders SUX!!!!...ONLY took me 2 hrs of hand cutting, filing etc,to get JUST the right gap,to within a Poofteenth of an inch,to grab the buttons like a coordinated pair of gently squeezn' butt cheeks!
Also made a TRA clutch holding mandrel, from ex hydraulic ram, for the Eng mob to balance my TRA's.
Next Northam Races are this Sat,so should have some trackside and HellCam vids for ya's.........IF'n ya good!
So in the interest of buggy forum content......

Wow Baz....
You must have the patience of Jobe

You sure have a way with words, Baz! Have fun at the races.

[Bugpac]

you wanting a ass setup, speak with Dynamo^Joe, he flew to the Uk from Canada last yr to tune a cpl guys draks for them... They had 583 engines in theres tho,

[Buggybaz]

Spec:Who/what the heck is Jobe?

Davo:You should see my way wid murds wuddled after a few Mate!

Bug:I emailed Joe a while back and he was extremely helpful,but I really need to ring/call for advice/info as emails + time diffs are just too damn slow and hard too keep the Subject warm,plus then awaiting days for parts.Joe is very busy now and the last thing he wants after work is to get a call from some Downunder bloke speakin' in some sort of foreign,wierd accent!
Also fellow Drakie Johno in UK does have the same 600,but Joe installed the OEM stock 583 ramp/spring setup.
I want to try the #286 ramps next,and 230/350 spring?

Anyway here's an update pasted-
Here's the last vid of the weekends TRA testing at Bakers Hill.
Had a Mega time,thanks Troy n Bev. 
Only downer was missin' out on New Norcia's Inaugrial Race Meet,( next time ay)and # 3 Son Bevo breaking his kneecap in 2, in MX bike prang.
He's in RPH awaiting surgery,1 today,now cancelled-no ef'n beds!  and another during the week.

Back to the vid.
It's the best I could get outa er,considering what I had to trial with.
200/320 spring(with 5.6mm shims),#300 ramps and worked best with #1 clicker and empty adj pin.
Still 1600rpms short of the 8,000 rpm peak Whorespower Band.
Need a higher engaging spring,230/350lbs and Me thinks the #286 ramp? 
I will eventually get there................No pain,no gain?
