"l t was so infe rior ," C.R. say s , that be was forced to ta ke ma tt e rs into his own hands a nd s ha pe it up, ·Soon th e machine was running a lot faster than I wan t ed to ride it, " Axtell recalls. So he deci ded to team UP with a pro rider and thus he ent e re d th e hecti c worl d of professional racing, becoming so i ntrigued that he gav e up his au to mechanic's j ob to dev ot e full time to tuni ng an d building ra cing e ngi nes . So su cc essful ha s he become that for the past four years Axtell ha s owned one of the fa stest and winningest mot orcyc les in the nation. Sammy Tanner , nat ional number 7 get s all th e glo ry fo r Axt ell's e fforts. but th e y split the prize mon ey 50-50. Finding the available engi nee ring and testing faciliti e s inadequat e fo r tuni ng champio ns hi p machi nery, la st year C. R. op ened the doors of his new speed and fine tuning establishment at 5210 San Fernan do Roa d in Glendale , Calif.

It meas ures t he fl ow of a i r that is capable of passing through a carburetor, manifold por t and cyli nde r head . In th e s a me room at t he opp osite end from th e fl ow meter is the dyn amometer . Being present when the dyno is runni ng is one of th e most fant a stic expe riences one can ha ve . Th e noi s e a nd the great feeling of po wer is almost un belie vabl e. You have to wear s pecial ear covers when th e dyno is runni ng. Axt ell's dynamometer is a powe r absorbtlon uni t, tha t is a mean s of holdin g a power plant at a given rpm and recording t he loa d i n foot pounds of torque , whi ch det ermines th e horse power of the e ngi ne .
