They used to be. I think the K&N now have a different country of origin than the hiflo and that's when the failures started happening.

A lot of the failures are related to the nut on the end of the filter of the k&n, the hiflo I have has no nut on the end. They do however make a race filter that has one on it. 

Hiflofiltro or oem. I'm sure wix are fine as well. 

Another k&n failed at Daytona this past weekend and caused another crash.

 Looks like I’m out for this one boys. Just starting a new job and I think it would be bad form to ask for a vacation day in the second week. Ha ha. We’ll see you at Pitt Race at the end of April. 

Congrats John!

Il be curious to see what you get on 68 if you go to NC bike.

I figured 10 as well, and 3.10 for fuel.

I have a rough estimate of $310 for fuel round trip on fuel to nc bike and back from my house. Divide that by however many people are going. I think a day at nc bike is 170 for non elite members? Would have to check on that. 

And of course most would get slightly better fuel economy than I do pulling the 5th wheel. 

Its not too bad just not my cup of tea after being on it a few times. And the pit area sucks if you dont get there early. 

It is cheap to run so theres that. 

Leaving in 24 days!

As long as I have body work.... 

I am beginning to hate it compared to every other track, but its worth going to a few times. 

Dragging bow in the light bulb this year fo sho!

I just hope my bodywork is done in time. 

I installed the clip ons this weekend, and installed the ftecu auto tune, and fast frank underslung caliper bracked with longer line. But I need to call fast frank as I might have to send out the lightech adjusters to have them machine them to work with the new caliper bracket. 

Correct, leave mid morning "ish" that friday. 

@TimTheAzn and I are "probably" heading to nc bike april 6th and meeting up with a few others to ride that weekend. We are going to weather watch for temps and rain and go from there. I also have a huge list of things to do to the bike make the trip but as long as the bodywork is back from paint I am a go. Will be back 2am ish on the 9th. 

@F4iguy showed some interest in going so he has a spot if he goes and has a trs. 

If others are interested in going and can ride share everyone is more than welcome to sleep in the toy hauler. Or if John doesnt make it and someone else has a trs I have another spot open. I think I could also install another plate in the back and haul 4 bikes in there if needed. 

I had a 04 vfr800 asphalt black, I really do miss that bike. I know you were concerned with the vtec speed but it wasent an issue for me. Now that im on faster bikes maybe I would say otherwise but in the  street it was awesome. First track day was on one please ignore the crappy riding. 

If we go the night before il probably bring the toy hauler for people to cook or sleep in, have A/C or whatever but that may complicate the bike transport. Maybe ride there the day before and we can figure it out for the ride home.

Or if we go the day of we can use the enclosed with wheel chocks to aid in transport. Have plenty of time to figure it out.

So I'm going because winner winner chicken dinner. I have no way to trailer my bike there and I've been told I do not want to ride there, do a track day and ride home. So who has space on their trailer that wouldn't mind stopping by Massillon to pick me up? I do have a 5000 watt generator we can use and one, maybe two easy ups. 

 

So who can help me out here? I really don't want to add a hitch to my impreza and buy a little trailer that I have zero room to store. 

I pass through there on 30 on my way. The toy hauler is setup for a pitbull trs. What bike are you riding?

Or I can maybe take my buddkes enclosed with wheel chocks.

They make a q3 in that size?

There is a ton of time to be found entering that chicane before the keyhole. 

Not sure about local places. 

But there is a guy called barnacle bill who can clean and repair. @TimTheAzn has sent his out to be repaired by lizzy I think her name was?

Either be there or nc bike im sure.

Will try to talk the family into staying in the camper.

I need to pick one up as well. I have ryans helmet I have been saving and my old bell I can start with. Pretty sure they will fit in that model.

All I could think is, "why is it so quiet?" then I distinctly remember the sound of my Arai 2015 IOM TT LE scraping the ground . Need to mount that bad boy on my wall somewhere.

Ikea makes a case that works well. 

You definitely have some time to think about the mistake you just made before hitting the ground. 

I have a set of pumas I can lend as well. But I think they are an 11.
