My triple would slide the rears even if you jammed it down hard on the asphalt. I only weighed 125 in those days. I sure pitied my Pop! The darn thing would catch and run out from under him every time. Sure was fun to drive, though! My ONLY competition was Dick Wyatt of Wyatt Enterprises in Cocoa, Florida. Dick had a new Rupp Lancer with dual Dick Collier (S&S Oil) 820's. He even had pipes. We were very evenly matched. We did not do time trials, but drew numbered balls out of a box. Whoever started in front of the other would always win. Since it got boring having Dick win half the time, and me the other half, I redid the 1200 with dual Mc30's and went back to B Super. No competition there, either, so I dropped back to A Super. Almost as much fun, and people to race with. Ted
