straightliners didnt really happen so back into etbike at the pod. 1st 2 rounds ruined by the weather so off to round 3. qualified 4th with a 10.48 on a 10.46 dial in but beat fair and square by Paul Adams in the first round on his gsxr1000. slept on the line and was out in round 1! etbike is not an easy class !

I just cant afford to blow up the kat so thought a 1100/1200 engine in the gsx would let me have some quicker fun while preserving the old skool Kat.

why do you want to swap the GSX engine?
Personally, I would be interested in some goodies for the Kat
What have you changed there on the engine so far?
just thinking of doing some sprints/rwyb on the gsx so thought a bandit or gsxr engine would give it the oomph required. would then limit the kat to etbike and run it safe as it is , 1170 , flowed head , hd billet clutch , welded crank , rs carbs . but then thought maybe go for it and sell the gsx which should give me the dough to run a fair bit quicker on the kat!

Got a bit of cash and thinking of an engine swap for the Gsx, or should I spend cash on some goodies for the Kat? Thinking of keeping kat as it is for etbike racing and getting the gsx in the 9's . What you all think.

looking great mate

Good to speak to you and some great improvements in your times there! wont be long til you are in the 9`s

First outing of the year tomorrow at the newly laid Santa Pod , looking cold but maybe dry so might get a go. Entered 10.1 acu class at the straightliners event. just serviced the Kat and removed the nitrous bits that I dont use at the minute. lost 6lb off the bike and 20lb off me so looking for a normally aspirated pb if possible.

I left the fuel tap on my gsx750es project on prime like a pratt and the fuel has got by my needle valves into the sump. I started the bike before noticing for a couple of minutes and guess I have cleaned a lot of the oil off of places its needed! drained the fuel/oil mixture and have filled with oil , run for a while , then drained it again and fitted more new oil and filter. it seems to have lost compression as it flies over on the button. I have new needle valves in the carbs now . would some oil down the bores maybe help bring it back to life or is it likely fucked? thanks. Gary.

Another year in etbike , hopefully with Carl on his gsx750 in it too. only 4 rounds though so may do some straightliners. If I can get close to matching my first 2 years in etbike I`ll be happy and if carl can go a few rounds it would be great.

Here`s the final standings in the UK Etbike Championship. It was a great year for me , runner up in this and the Santa Pod championship too. Had my first round win at Race Rock n Ride in May which was amazing. Thanks to all the other riders and teams for making it such a friendly class to race in. The old Katana never missed a beat all year and thanks to Ronald Hester we now have a second bike in the team for Carl Hesterto race next year. Thanks also to Marie , Steve, Carl and Ricci for turning up and supporting me , making it all worth it. Thanks for all the online support and it`s great to have the support of the Oldskool Suzuki crowd too , need to get Carl signed on as a Winged Hammer!
Roll on 2018 , watch out for G & C Racing.http://www.eurodragster.com/news/17points/uk/etbike.htm

Bit of a poor weekend racing for me . The bike and me were both suffering in the heat , eventually managed a decent qualifier in the last round with 10.68 on a 10.63 dial in but as everyone was on fire this weekend only gave me 10th place, and a first round against no1 qualifier and super consistent Phil Pratt. I zoned out on the start and with a .3 reaction time it was all over bar something untoward happening. It didnt and Phil came by backing off to an easy win, I broke out anyway with 10.53 on my 10.6 Well done to Phil and all the other et bikers. Im off for a break in the caravan with Marie to try and cheer myself up.

Hiya - how's it going? Was hoping I might catch you at the Isle of Man meet. What's the leaderboard looking like?
Sorry , struggling to do anything but the etbike rounds this year , will be at Donington though! Kat ran nice and consistent at the summer nationals at the Pod a couple of weeks ago. Got through to the semi finals along with my main 2 rivals! The event was then cut short after a nasty wall to wall crash involving a lovely chevvy bel air , I think. Pretty much me level in first place in the overall UK championship and 2nd in the Santa Pod one. Loads of points still available though so anything could happen . http://www.eurodragster.com/news/17points/uk/etbike.htm

Had a great weekend at race rock n ride at Santa Pod. Only 2 qualifying runs due to the weather but managed 4th of 14 bikes with a 10.75 on a 10.60 dial in. Eliminations on sunday started with Steve Moor followed in round 2 by Giselle Moor and then Fiona Moor in the semi final. some very close racing with 3 members of the same family saw me in the final against Philip Pratt for the third final in a row! I had a fair start and ran 10.68 on 10.65 , Phil struggled for grip and amazingly I took my first ever et bike win. well chuffed and with Carl Hester having a few decent rwyb rides all in all was a great day. It was a hectic weekend with me and Carl both running and I failed to meet up with anyone other than a quick chat with Paul Morris , nice to meet you! Very close in the points for the uk championship now , on to the summer nationals in 3 weeks where I hope to stay in touch.

Just a short update before I am off to Race rock and Ride at the weekend for round 4 of et bike.
Round three was cut short due to rain and after qualifying a poor 9th , 8 hundredths off my dial in! I made it through to the last 8 after Paul Adams red lit on his nice gsxr1000. Unfortunately that was it as the 5 oclock scr curfew stopped proceedings. Off on friday to the all bike(nearly) race rock and ride , looking froward to it. Still holding 2nd in the championship.
