[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1331628, member: 17212"] The ignition we will be running is a very simple system. It will be a Total Loss System. Points or an electronic pick-up system with a dual coil and hot-charged 12 volt battery. Mags are great and I have an ARD mag that we could use but, mags and charging systems drain horsepower. A Total Loss System doesn't use any horsepower to produce spark. For a bike that only does short runs, like a Bonneville bike or a drag racer, total loss is the best way to go. IMO. FoxForks. Figuring out what class to run in is the hardest part of this whole deal. There are several different organizations that use the salt flats. They all have different rules for the different classes. They all use Bonneville at different times for their speed trials. When Danny originally built and ran the bike, the rules were different than they are now. I have no doubt we can break his old record since there are many changes allowed in the engine now, than were allowed back then. The problem is figuring out what class and what organization the bike fits in without having to remake the whole bike. [/QUOTE]
