THE MINER

A member of the family

BY LARRY BARNES

Courtesy Indian Motorcycles, www. indianmotorcycle.com Like so many other motorcyclists, my Dad was directly responsible for getting me involved in motorcycling. But the sport gave us much more than just the fun of sharing a hobby … it gave us the opportunity to become “best friends.”

My father, Donald W. Barnes, was born in 1920 and grew up during the Depression.

His father (my grandfather) operated small bicycle repair shop out his garage trying to make ends meet, so I guess you could say my father got his introduction to two-wheeled transportation from his father, which makes this a three generation story. But my Dad, like most boys do these days, quickly developed the urge for something with a motor.

When he was about 20, Dad started racing dirt track and TT with his brother, Clifford, as his tuner. He became a state-ranked TT expert in the late ‘30’s, winning about 35 local and regional races. His favorite racing mount was a modified 1929 Indian 101 Scout. My uncle had changed cylinder heads for more performance and mounted a larger front wheel to keep the frame from digging in while cornering. Pretty advanced stuff for those days. They bent the hand shifter in such a way that Dad could shift gears with his knee (don’t ask me how) and not let go of the handlebars.

Unfortunately, World War II halted his (and so many other’s) racing career. And when Dad came back it was time to settle down, marry his sweetheart, Dorothy, and raise a family (me and three other kids). But Dad hadn’t lost his enthusiasm for motor-

cycles. Together he and Dorothy opened an Indian dealership in Wooster, Ohio, across the street from his father’s old bicycle repair shop.

When Indian folded, Dad sold off his remaining stock for, and finally his beloved Indian 101 Scout. I still remember it going out the driveway in the back of a pickup truck. I guess Dad figured he’d never need it again or maybe we needed something for the house that the $50 he got for it would buy. (Big mistake.)

Mom, without telling any of us, tracked down the guy who Dad had sold the Scout to 30 years later. Unbelievably, he still had it. Well, most of it anyway. Apparently the guy’s son was good at taking things apart but not very good at putting them back together. Dad’s Scout had been completely disassembled in a dirt floor basement and left 20 years to rust. But Mom bought the priceless pile of rusty parts for $500 and gave it back to Dad for their 40th anniversary. And so began a restoration process that took another five years until Dad’s 1929 Indian Scout 101 dirt tracker was restored to its original factory condition. When it came time to ride it for the first time, he jumped aboard and took off like no time had passed at all.

Dad, Mom, and the whole family really enjoyed having the Scout back as a member of the family. Dad would ride it in community parades and we’d all go on outings with the All-American Indian Motorcycle Club.

It meant the world to him … and no visit of mine was complete until we went to the shop and discussed what needed to be changed, fixed or shined. And of course,

Car Buying Made Easy What to consider before hitting the sales lot Buying a car may be one of the biggest purchases you make in a lifetime.

started one more time.

Unfortunately, Dad got to enjoy Scout for only a few years before he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The motorcycle then became his reason to live. If only he could get well he could ride again. But it wasn’t meant to be. The last time he was able to be outside the house, I rolled his wheelchair out to the shop to see his beloved Scout. We sat him on the seat and could see

through our tears that he was reliving a ride (or maybe a race) that he had experienced 50 years before. I’ll never forget the moment when he feebly pointed at a spot of impending corrosion and I knew he was reminding me to take care of the bike when he was gone.

Dad died in 1996 and the Scout is mine now. It will never leave the Barnes family again.

Vintage Spokane racecar returns to Indy SPOKANE – Back in the 1960s and 1970s Spokane racecar builder Jim Tipke produced some of the fastest and most innovative openwheel race cars in the nation.

Years of success, such as winning the famed Minnesota State Fair, plus money from a group of local motorsports fanatics realize the dream of trying to qualify favorite son Tom Sneva for the USA’s preeminent race – the 1973 Indianapolis 500.

The months of hard work, mostly by Tipke, lasted just a handful of laps when a burned piston just wouldn’t allow the speed needed to be competitive in a time when giants like Andretti, Foyt and Unser ruled the Brickyard.

So the grassroots group loaded up the car, drove it back to Spokane and stuck it away in a variety of places over parts of the past five decades. It had never been started since until Tipke’s friend, Tri City attorney and open wheel racecar fanatic Mike McKinney suggested they do so.

Last Saturday the homebuilt four-cylinder Offenhauser was at Indy again to be part of a special exhibition of vintage racecars that had previously run at Indy.

“He’s been bugging me about taking the car back there,” Tipke said. McKinney, who owns a couple of old Indy cars himself, checked into the rules and found that Tipke’s creation was legal to go back and do parade laps the day before the 500.

All this came about just when Tipke was headed to winter in Yuma, Ariz. But some of the people at his company, Tipke Manufacturing, went to work tearing down the motor and fixing what went wrong back in 1973.

When Tipke returned from his winter break the car was pretty much ready to fire up for the first time in some 40 years. They tested the car at Oregon Raceway Park in remote Grass Valley, Ore., between Biggs Junction and Madras, Ore., in late April. It ran real well Tipke said so the plans materialized.

While the car was at Indy, its original driver, Sneva, was not.

“I’ve been going back every year but this is the first year I’m not going back,” Sneva said in a May 19 interview. “It’s too bad, I didn’t realize they were going to have the car back there,” he said, but added there are grandkids graduating from high school at the same time so there’s a different priority for Sneva, now 65 and living in the Phoenix area.

Though disappointing, his first trip to Indy was unforgettable, Sneva said.

“It’s been a while but you don’t forget those kind of things.”

The 1973 trip had actually been planned to take place in 1972, Sneva said. “There were all kinds of problems, number one the funding from a group of private investors, so the car did SEE INDY, 4B

its impact on the environment. Repowering also makes the vehicle more fuel efficient which decreases harmful emissions, further helping to protect our planet.”

With repowering, a vehicle’s engine or an identical one from another like-vehicle is completely disassembled, cleaned, machined and remanufactured/rebuilt.

Unlike used or junkyard engines with an unknown performance and maintenance history, remanufactured engines are reliable and backed by excellent warranty

programs. Remanufacturing also saves an incredible amount of raw materials that would have been used in building a new engine and energy used in processing discarded engines and vehicles.

“Engine remanufacturing is not only an environmentally sound decision, but it lets you keep more ‘green’ in your wallet,” White said. “For the cost of an average down payment on a new car or truck, you can repower your current vehicle, gaining years of reliable service and improved fuel economy all without monthly car payments and higher insurance rates.”

Child safety seat tips

BY PETRINA GENTILE WWW.VROOMGIRLS.COM

Seventy-five percent of all child safety seats are installed incorrectly. Are you the one in four who knows the right way? Use VroomGirls’ 10 simple steps to install your child’s car seat correctly.

These tips are easy to follow on your own. But if you want added peace of mind, attend a car seat safety clinic in your area. To find one, go to: www.nhtsa.gov/cps/cpsfitting/index.cfm

1. READ THE MANUAL Sounds obvious, but most people scoff at it. You really should make an exception in this case. Read both your vehicle owner’s manual and the car seat manual from the manufacturer. Check the instructions for the proper installation as well as other important information such as the weight and height limits for the seat.

2. BORROWED CAR SEATS

STOCK PHOTO

Be cautious with borrowed car seats. If you borrow from a friend, check the seat carefully, and ask if it’s been in the car during an accident. Make sure it has all instructions and hardware, it has no discolored stress marks or cracks, the harness is not worn or torn, and it has a properly working buckle and latch. Also, look for the sticker from the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) or the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS).

3. ANCHOR THE CAR SEAT

Never use a car seat that is older than seven years, and read the instruction manual.

Pre-school kids weighing 20-80 pounds, and those who are shorter than 4 ¾ feet, should use a booster seat until the age of 8. And remember, children under age 13 should never ride in the front passenger seat – they’re always safest in the backseat. If a front seat airbag deploys it could cause serious injury.

5. APPLY PRESSURE

Then, properly thread the seat belt or Universal Anchorage System (UAS) through the child safety seat, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Cars manufactured after Sept. 1, 2002, are equipped with UAS and lower anchorage bars which provide another option for securing the child safety seat in the car.

Kneel on the child safety seat to push it into the vehicle’s seat. Use muscle power to tighten the seat belt or UAS. Make sure the base of the car seat is tight, too. Grab the seat and shake it side to side. Don’t be gentle – use serious force because you want to make sure it doesn’t move in an accident.

It shouldn’t sway more than an inch from left to right.

4. CHOOSE AN AGE-APPROPRIATE SEAT Car seats are made to fit children at specific ages and heights. If an infant weighs less than 20 pounds, he or she should always travel in a rear-facing car seat. Toddlers who weigh between 20-40 pounds and are about one-year-old should ride in a forward-facing seat.

7. AVOID “DUMPSTER SPECIALS” Never use a car seat if it has been in a collision. “It’s a dumpster special,” says John Kelcher, Auxiliary Constable and Child-Seat Restraint Instructor with the Ontario, Canada Provincial Police. “We do not recommend you use

not get finished in time,” he said.

And despite not being able to qualify his own car, Sneva got a break that might have helped pave the way to his 18-year racing career that included a coveted victory at Indy in 1983.

The biggest problem was that they could not get the motor to stop leaking oil.

“We’d only get five or six laps of practice before they black-flagged us,” Sneva recalled.

“We were able to get through the rookie test with the car,” Sneva said.

Amidst the problems, a silver lining appeared and it may have been a bigger influence on Sneva’s career than passing the rookie test.

Sneva and company were parked next to a car owner, Marvin Webster.

“One day his driver is late and he offered me a ride in his car because his driver hadn’t showed up.”

Within a few laps Sneva had the car running five to six miles per hour faster that Webster’s regular driver. “That got people

looking a little bit (at me),” Sneva said.

Sneva, who retired from racing and went into the golf course business, has a new generation of the Wolf says. .

another person’s car seat. You don’t know what the child has done in the seat and you don’t know if it has been in collision.” So invest the cash in buying a new car seat.

8. TIGHTEN THE STRAPS Put the child in the car seat and tighten the straps. Check the tension on all straps – they should be tight enough so you can only fit one finger between the child and the straps.

Even if your child whines don’t give in and loosen the straps – the result could be deadly in a collision. All straps should lie flat against the child’s body and the chest clip should be positioned at armpit level.

9. TOSS OLD CAR SEATS Never use a car seat that’s more than 7-years-old. You can double check the manufacturer date of your car seat – it’s printed right on the seat. If it’s older than 7 years, dump it.

Don’t use it. Be sure to look up recalls regularly. You can SEE CARSEAT, 5B

When to replace tires

BY HOLLY REICH WWW.VROOMGIRLS.COM

Is it time for your tires to hit the graveyard or can they go the extra mile?

Here are some simple tips for tire health. The experts at Michelin, Pirelli and the Rubber Manufacturers Association give us the scoop on when to replace tires.

It’s time to hit the graveyard if: You see metal If you see metal in your tires – even a glimmer – go directly to your nearest tire dealership and have them replaced. A glint of steel means you’ve waited way past the point of when to replace worn tires.

You see Lincoln’s head Tires are worn and unsafe with anything less than 2/32 tread depth.

CARSEAT FROM PAGE 4B

contact the manufacturer or visit the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Office of Defects Investigation at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot. gov/cars/problems/recalls/ childseat.cfm.

10. SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS IN YOUR CAR Check for flying objects in your vehicle – even a bottle of windshield wiper fluid or an umbrella could become a projectile and potentially deadly in a crash. Make sure all loose objects are securely stored in your car. It’s a simple, often overlooked step that can prevent serious injury in a crash.

Examine wear patterns by using the penny test in each tire groove on all four tires. If you can see the top of Abe Lincoln’s head when the edge of a penny is placed in the groove of the tire, the tires have come to the end of their useful life and should be replaced.

Your car pulls to one side If wear is uneven, alignment may be off. Improper alignment can accelerate tread wear and affect vehicle handling. Properly maintained tires usually wear at the same rate, so Michelin recommends changing all four tires on your car at the same time, whether your car is front, rear, or all-wheel drive. If you can only replace two, put the two newest tires on the rear. This can help you better handle hydroplaning or over-steering in emergencies.

Your tires are six years or older It is tough to predict when to replace tires based on their calendar age alone. However, the older a tire is, the more likely

it is to have weak spots.

While most tires will need replacement before they achieve six years, it is recommended that any tires in service six years or more (including spare tires) be replaced with new tires as a simple precaution.

It’s winter and you have summer tires If you live in winter weather territory, then winter tires vastly improve traction on wet and icy surfaces. You’ll notice the difference immediately while driving on slick roads. When weather turns warm again, switch over to all-season or summer tires, which give a smoother ride on dry pavement. If you live in an area that has minimal days of frost, allseason tires are good for year-round driving.

You see signs of uneven wear Your tires may have irregular tread wear if there are rough patches or unusually smooth areas on the tread. Also check monthly to make sure there are no nails or other sharp objects in the tire.

There’s several ways to determine if you tires need replacing. Consistent maintenance will help elongate the life of your tires.

Can your tires go the extra mile?

The Rubber Manufacturers Association and Pirelli Tire North America joined together in the campaign “Be Tire Smart – Play Your PART.” PART is an acronym for Pressure, Alignment, Rotation and Tread – the four key elements of tire care. Here are the details.

PRESSURE The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that properly inflated tires will improve vehicle fuel economy by 3.3 percent and save up to 12 cents per gallon at the

pump.

Buy a tire pressure gauge.

They are inexpensive and easy to find at any auto supply shop or general merchandise store like Target.

Check your tire’s air pressure first thing in the morning, before you leave the house and while the tires are cold. Once you drive on the tires, they inflate due to heat and friction. They will give you an unreliable reading if you check them once they’re warm. Under-inflation is the leading cause of wear and tear on tires.

“Tires are designed to

operate when properly inflated with air,” add the Michelin gals. “Check your tire pressure every month and before any long trip. Fill them up to the recommended pressure in your owner’s manual or according to the placard on your driver’s door jamb. And always check your tires when they are cold.”

ALIGNMENT Misalignment of wheels in the front or rear can cause uneven and rapid treadwear. Get semi-annual

check-ups for alignment, or more often if your car dips into a particularly jarring pothole or bumps violently against a curb.

ROTATION Regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires will help you achieve more uniform wear.

Rotate tires every other oil change (every 6,000 – 10,000 miles) and don’t

forget to include the spare if it’s full-size.

TREAD Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip the road in adverse conditions. Remember that your traction on wet roads, and even dry ones, depends entirely on the integrity of your tires’ tread.
