Hi all, just a quick update on Sundays Thundersprint, a brilliant day.
We worked on getting the bike running right up to Saturday evening, so didnt know if we would make the Race, the bike only turned a wheel Saturday evening & if you scroll down you can see the video Suzy shot of me testing outside the house!
Luckily all the gear linkages worked & the motor ran strong, but with only 20 miles to bed in the new brakes & scrub in the tyres Saturday night we were not realy ready for Sundays Thundersprint.
Well we loaded up the van about 8.00 & set off at 3.00 in the morning to get to the paddock by 5.00, scuitinering was a worry but she sailed through & i quickly signed on & walked the course.
The paddock was amazing with Ex world Champion Phil Redman & Sammy Millar also racing, couldnt believe it when i was in the rides breifing with these guys & Steve Parrish.
Practice arrived at 7.30 & the runs went really well with a best time of 31.9 & the bike launching & cornering very well (just kept saying to myself over the run dont drop it dont drop it !)
The crowds were amazing the paddock full & great responce to the bike & the finish, thanks to Robbo & Pricey who turned up to give support, when the final runs were called i decided to try to chip my times down & if possible get below 30.
All 3 runs went very well faster each run finishing with a 29.24 i was made up.
Thats it for now i will post more pics as they come in, & now get down to improving the brakes & aim for a low 27 next time
