Hi guys... I gave up drag racing motorcycles after I became ill and had an ileostomy in 2014... my daughter still races a drag car (with a motorcycle motor in it).

I thought that was it for me... but SOD IT!!!!! I'm now in the process of building another bike, hopefully I'll be racing it next year. Because money is tight, my daughter (bless her) said she'll take a year out so I can race... what a great kid!!!

This is my last bike that I built 6 years ago and now lives in Malta.

Onwards and upwards... NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!

Pete,

Beautiful bike, man. I hope the next one is just as nice, just be sure to keep it shiny side up! Your daughter is awesome for letting you race this time around. Keep us posted on when you get the next one built and racing!

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Pretty quick car... Don't you find it a pain with alcohol, having to drain it down after each meeting? It's what we had to do to Rhiannon's junior dragster that ran on it... or the "white death" occurred. We had it once in an older JD of hers and had to throw the carb away...

It used to be a pain....but solved that problem by installing a 1-gallon fuel cell, 4 GPM pump, tapped the manifold below the carb with a needle valve.....run around in the pits on 110.....only use the methanol when I hit the burnout box........so just run the carb out/dry......no draining....
