Heck, Cali has survived PVA, Brady, Street, Lewis, Howie, Gross, Emott, Monty and a whole bunch more pikers. Watt's one more ?

While I am kept in bed at the hospital, Kamo-san has kept building Kamo-Can-Am's for us & our Team Tokyo racers in the States.

I will be home within a week, joining him to prepare for the Cup.

We hope we cold develop better F-1 chassis until the Race.

 

I hope I will race with you in January.

 

I would like to thank for all the warm  words from my retro slot buddies for my recovery.

 

Thanks a lot and Keep Racing,

John asked me what the weather might be like............I told him to bring shorts!!!!!

[JerseyJohn]

Lol Brian First time for shorts in January.. Hay Brian Im on cali at 10.30am J9 looks like your shop will be my first stop...JJ

[Duffy]

...I told him to bring shorts!!

Ohh no. Telling JJ to bring shorts is like offering a gas can to a candle. We tried to warn you, Bry, we really did.

duf

[The Bugman]

[JerseyJohn]

LOL got you wild man. I will be leaving in the middle of Jersey Winter so when i get to the air port I will give my coat to my daughter. I just hope she brings it back when she picks me up !!

[JerseyJohn]

HAy Westies. Ive built a AAAAAAAAAAnglewinder for coupe, what gearing and pitch do you Amigos Use?

 

Thanks

[Craig]

Hey John,

 

The last time I ran Anglewinder Coupe the gearing was 8/39 64 pitch. That should be a good starting point for you.

[gascarnut]

I don't think 8:39 will cut it on the flat track, try 11:37 rather, or 12:42 in 72DP.

[Jason Holmes]

Duran told me he runs 10/39 64p  I have ran 12/42 72p

 

jason

[gascarnut]

Duran can probably drive with all those brakes from 10:39!

 

I have run 10:37 quite well often, but for me the 12:42 72DP works best.

[Tom Eatherly]

Yep, this is sounding pretty good. A lot of East coast racers coming out maybe? That would be nice! See you guys in Dec for a warm-up race or two. And some much needed practice! As Tim Neja says; "Lets race!" This is going to be awesome.

[Craig]

Sorry John,

I should have waited to get home before opening my trap. 10/39 is what is on my car.....My bad!

[JerseyJohn]

Seems like we have a span of 3.5 to 3.9 to 1. Thats a decent range to work with. As Im not a big flat track guy, I think the 10/39 will be easier to drive.....

[Tim Neja]

Today's weather John---73 degrees and Sunny!! It's not too bad weather out here this time of year!! Enjoy!!

[redbackspyder]

John, many of us have been using 64p  and 11/38 or 12/39 with a falcon 7.   Just FYI,

First of all, I would like to thank you all for your warm well-wishes for my recovery.

 

I am still in hospital for heart problem since November 26 but feeling very well now.

On Tuesday I will take a close examination of heart, then being released from hospital on Thursday or Friday if the result is OK.

 

I am very sorry to inform that I have decided not to race at the coming Checkpoint Cup.

Kamo-san & other Tokyo racers have also decided not to race at the Cup.

 

Physically, I think I could make it to the Cup but my family is worrying about my health.

 

After released from hospital, I will redesign my plan to race in the States after March.

 

Keep racing,

 

Haruki
