Oh yes, the new 1498cc engine is working fine and I managed to improve my PB four times over the weekend, first time with only five or six runs on the new engine. First 9.443, than a 9.435, 9.399 on a solo run during the eliminations and 9.377 in the finals as my opponent redlighted and I had no reason to hold back
238.61km/h was my best terminal speed of the weekend.
So, long story short:
I qualified second and won the race, my son qualified third and lost in the semifinals due to a missed third gear and he is now in third place of the juniorbike championship.
6.598 is his new PB @ 1/8 and 180km/h terminal speed.
A big thank you goes out to Sam Green and Mike Rieck for making it happen
