If your going to use a seperate circuit then hell why not put another A/C in there. But the 13.5 i have does an awsome job on my TH but it's a 21ft so a little smaller than yours but the outside is a dark grey.

yeah it's been a good year, unfortunately i think tally and Road A will be the last ones for me unless something changes. The thurs before Barber i found out my company is closing this plant i work at. I don't know what to say with all the time i've invested into a year winning a championship and now looks like it's getting taken away. You going to tally?


Rather not spend the money on another AC if what is there will work, but I do seem to recall someone telling me that the black 260s don't stay cool inside once it really warms up. I don't know, as I picked it up during the winter.

That's too bad about your company and job. Have you posted something up on the WERA and GSB boards? Might get a hook up, you never know.

Yes, Tally will be my first race back since Tally in February. I had rotator cuff surgery that next week, and am just now getting clearance to race. Rode my busa to Athens last night, first time I've been on a bike since February and it was nice. Real nice.

I think that AC unit will work and especially if you get it cool in there before the hot afternoon sun comes out. Like i said mines only 21ft so not that much smaller and it's a dark grey on the outside but mine is frigid cold on high.

I haven't asked on the WERA or GSB boards only because i have never been someone good at asking for help but if something doesn't happen i guess i'll have to. I will be at Tally thurs night and instructing for Ed on friday.

Good info, guys, and funny to see a bunch of fellow racers in here...especially ones just down the road.
Just to clarify, I don't race. Nowhere near talented enough to keep up with you guys.


I don't get lost, I investigate alternative destinations.

See a guy in the campground with a telescope, that may be me.

Nah, there is always someone faster, and usually someone slower. Race if you want to.

How much do you think it'd cost to get "Rolling Chicane" stitched onto my leathers?

With the astounding 1:38s I was clicking off at RRR I think I'd be more of a hazard.

I dunno, best I've done there was a ~1.40. Now, that was on a ninja 250, and I've only been there once for a single day, but you still have me beat. Laptimes are relative. That day I was running V6LW and still had some good racing with a guy in Formula 2 stroke, and he finished the race just ahead of me.

Well, it got tested out at Road Atlanta this weekend, and the answer is "fuhgetaboutit". It was hotter than hades out there, and it wasn't a lot cooler in the RV. Tons of people running in and out didn't help, but even without that it was warming up inside by 10 am. The foot traffic isn't going to stop, so I guess I need to shop.

Hahaha! I was on a Hayabusa......turning 170+ down the front straight! Saying I'm slow is an understatement of vast proportions! My excuse is I was riding pretty badly hurt. Managed to crash the bike six days before, I was riding to Todds house of all places, and only had a mile or two left.

Maybe if you hung those plastic strips like they have at a butcher shop, think that would help along with a bigger unit?

I'm 10 seconds a lap slower on my busa than my SV at Road Atlanta. All that straight line might isn't worth a whole lot on a road course.

The side door gets closed, it's just opened and closed all the time. The rear door stays closed.
