    At about 11 am PST in my shop in a chilly 27 degree Toledo WA the germinator came to life. We lit it off and it ran like a new baby. It has only been 18 months since that sound echoed around my place. The neighbors are so happy, just when they thought it was safe to put away the ear plugs. Dave Germain

    Isn't Toledo pretty close to South Sound Speedway? They should be used to that kind of racket! Or is that Tenino?

    None the less, I wondered why we did'nt see you at the tracks last year. Now I know. Good luck in 07. Are you going to do the whole divisional deal?

    WooooHoooooooo...the Germinator fired right up, just like it
    should , when you put a fresh engine, and a new car,
    and new electronics, wiring, switches, oil and fuel for the first time.
    The dose of alky was just fine,
    two fire ups with 0 probs 0 leaks, and a clean filter to boot.
    pulled the bottom end down, just purrrrdy and new,, its all good.
    sitting in the seat was a nice feeling again other than no
    safty shied on the drive line, it was all good. got my first wack at
    the positive/push morse cable on the loud pedal,..boy that is different
    it likes wide open,..and fast,, motor saw 7100 at the first stage and i
    quckly caught it and realed it back in at 5400 and held her at 6,000rpm
    for about 4 or 5 seconds to collect some data,....A+ all is well
    Excellent job Dave Germain she`s going to haul azzzzz
