At last we started racing, fueling problems and 40 mph headwind Saturday meant no good times. After a few repairs Sunday morning hit the track and played again. Managed a new PB of 10.32 @ 139 mph. Onwards to the next meeting, the 9s is looking good!!

 

That's a good start gas working well then

Back for 2019 on what feels like a different bike, yet again.  At least we got to test the handling around Santa Pod at the first RWYB meet. Pleased to find that the slammed front end does NOT make it handle like a house-brick and it runs true.  Calling Saturday windy was a gross understatement as I was blown off course more than once by 40mph gusts. Fuelling issues meant the bike cut out at the end of the first run and ran out of oomph on others. Times were depressing, like going back 2 years.  A night in our Podavan drinking Bailey's from chocolate easter eggs helped and in the morning Sweary B checked the plugs and drilled the breather out a mm or two. That was magic and the bike was back to it's fire-breathing self. Now I could concentrate on learning how the new multi-stage lock-up clutch reacted and on getting the NOS to come in and stay on. The throttle on-off has got more leeway now so doesn't shut off at the slightest release. And wow, when the NOS came in it flew. Final run in the morning was a new ET PB, new top speed of 140 and 9s doesn't feel like a pipe-dream now. Looking forward to next RWYB. Only frustrating things is that my Sunday PB would have put me 3rd in RWYB challenge instead of 9th.

Onwards...
