As many Bonneville racers have been heard saying over the years “sometimes the salt wins”, and much to our dismay was the case for us this past August.Naturally it was a bit of a let down after setting an AMA National record in 2012,but we are already planning and looking forward to next year.
The old XLCR still had an issue with shifting, but after a great conversation on the salt with Dan Baisley of Baisley Performance(who drag raced Ironhead XL’s with huge success), we will be putting all of his suggested transmission modifications first on our list during this upcoming off, or perhaps I should say non-racing winter season.
