Skirts are just cosmetic.  I'd knock the other side off with a brass hammer and rock on lol  :quad:

Hope nothing else was harmed!

The broken skirt may have resulted from something alse coming apart. Be sure to check rod bearings and wrist pin bearings before you put a new piston in. The oil passage for the rod may have some aluminum built up in it also.

As Mike Holmes says "It's all gotta come out"
It locked up. It has BIG chuncks in the bottom end which sucks because I just had that crank rebuilt before putting it in that motor.

Yep, at least Saturday/Sunday.  Might head down Friday evening.  Got a pretty big group going, couple trucks and jeeps 3-4 R's in there too.

Might be pretty chilly in the evenings!

It is supposed to rain. I have been watching the weather all week. I was planning on it until yesterday and decided I didn't want drive over there and get rained out. Now I dont have a bike to race anyway.

We should be in South camp as well.  Got my lights figured out late last night.  I probably won't make it down until Saturday though, i'll be on a red/black bike with red beadlock rings (sticks out like a sore thumb).  Dang seat cover didn't come in so it has an ugly dull red cover on it.
