I think the "street Nats" boys were wetting and oiling the track, with their painfully long burnouts. Could see lots of wet patches along the start and even a green glycol puddle in the R.H. stage box. Times were all over the place and there wasn't that sticky underfoot traction at the start. On one run I did a gentle clutchless roll off and back on shift into second and saw the tacho immediately go into the red line. Thought i'd be clever and run up the inside next time and felt the rear end fishtail and went nowhere fast that time. Wheelied one launch and spun up the next, bit of a lottery night and traction improved with more runs. I noticed on the timeslips that top speeds were down a couple of mph and that my tacho was showing nearer the redline at the finish than usual so I guess that most of us were experiencing wheelslip. Got wet on the way home but not cold so it didn't matter and the bike needs the bits of rubber its' been collecting cleaned out anyway. Thats history now, next outing is Jan 3rd be there or be gay or something.
Most importantly, does anyone have a date and time for the "donut-dunking? I think Rob was saying that its' on the 28th? <i></i>
