Update #3: It's 12:30am and a Frendly's parking lot is our new shop
Leon and Chumma are stripping down the engine and working on the head, the bike was leaking a bit of oil and we need to let it cool and make some adjustments. Short video below.
All things go well and we will be at the track at dawn. What a trip.
Update #2: Badger The Film - Update 2
So Rob and I are in Trenton, in the RV catching up on emails after having a sweaty 12 hours of shooting, I lended a hand on some of the bike sorting but Leon, Chumma, Ron and Mark did an amazing job getting this thing to run. It is a monster. The feeling of the team was electric and everyone pushed through the heat and frustration. It's funny this project has been really unique in that when every one is idle tempers flare and emotions are high, but when it comes to working on The Badger, the actual bike every get a zen like calm and pulls it together.
We shot a ton today take a peak at the video and pics on this update to get a sense of the day.
Update #1: 3 Days to Go
Thanks for your support of the film, we need to try pull through and hit the goal. We are picking up th RV and loading the gear tonight then, we are heading to Mid-Ohio tomorrow morning.
We are shooting the 9 hour ride out, race prep and gearing up for Sunday the big day.
Here is a pic of the bike as of Monday, lots of progress in the last day and we are on a train to Trenton right now to shoot the final build and the engine's first start.
Pete & Rob.
