Only 61 votes in so far.  I suspect that people who cast their votes prior to the server crash did not re-vote.  I posted reminders on the boards but the overall voter turnout is comparatively low with 4 days left.

Just a thought Don, to check if your vote is still valid, you will have lost the option to vote, if this is not the case, please vote again.
If your vote is still valid, the option to vote should not show.
I can't remember if I cast my vote before the crash or not but my option to vote is not there any longer.

Congratulations to Harald and his Supercharged EFI 550K show bike.  We look forward to seeing you get the bike tune dialed in to see what kind of power the bike is capable of making.

Congratulations also to Cam, Supersportsguy and innovativems.  Cam was neck and neck with Harald for most of the polling period.

Well Sam, not a good way to kick off a new year, you voted for the runner up, hahaha.

Congrats to all for being nominated in the first place, a great start to the New Year.

To add to what Don said, Harald took the early lead but Cam pulled him back at half track, I thought we had a race on our hands but the power of the supercharged bike told at the finish line where it mattered  hahaha.

Happy New Year to all our contestants and voters.

Sam. ;)
