This weekend sees the first outing of the JMR Racing Suzuki of Juha Leino at Motopark Virtasalmi drag strip.
Good luck Juha and Mike, let's see some 9s. ;)

       Juha didn't race last season Sam so he'll have to get back into the groove. That being said he has the engine to do it.

Hi guys, I had fun for sure!
Only managed a best of 10.420 / 225km/h but that's my fault, the bike runs very well ;).

Beat a Busa in the first elimination round and lost to another Busa on the second round due to a breakout.

I really need some practice ::).

Don't worry about the time Juha, in 1970, there were only three bike this side of the pond running quicker than that, at least you were quicker than the Busas ;D ;D ;D ;D and normaly asperated to boot. ;)
