Well 2nd race meet for me with the 'Busa. I Lite meeting if you will. Palmyra have done a lot of work upgrading the strip & it shows. I spent Friday re-fitting the repaired rad & all the associated plastics. No referencing manuals so, not as smooth as it probably could have been :). You get that.
Out to a cold dewy & very fresh dragstrip for the Friday night Test & Tune.
Traction was compromised @ best :(.
Dragstrips need rubber layed down to operate effectively, this was expected & part of the exercise.
Having not ridden the 'Busa for maybe 3 months combined with not knowing if it was going to stand up or spin up when clutch was dumped (add in being on prescription sedatives) made for an interesting night.
Most runs in the 10.6 - 10.66 bracket, through an 11.99 wheelspin city run.
Bike is running lean though out the rev range, think the cold weather just exasperated the problem.
Having managed a 10.37 PB last year...
Come Sat race meet, ran 2 x 10.6# in qualifying.
10.734 for a win on a 10.59 dial in.
10.551 loss out the back door on a 10.59 dial in.
10.503 win on a 10.50 dial in against an opponent with wheely bars & a 17.30 dial in :S scarry closing speed in the deep end.
10.511 win on a 10.48 dial in.
10.541 win on a 10.48 dial in.
Total 7 runs for the day with a 0.131 sec spread.
Good enough for me :).
In the end as I said it was a Claytons race meet, no class prize monies or trophies.
However there was one prize, $100 for closest to dial in.
This inc Friday nite T & T + Sat racing.
Well the 'Busa came thru for me, with my 0.003 over dial in taking out the money :)
Very happy little vegemite.
Gotta say, sitting in stage for 7 secs after your competitor leaves & trying to run them down appears virtually impossible, she looked to be @ 2/3 track before they let me go, that's the way it looked in my mind as I sat there with my tyre cooling by the second.
What a day, LURRVE my 'Busa ;)
What a FAT time again @ Palmyra
