Re: Record Updates

Not sure how this thread became about checking engine capacity,we clearly don't have the time or the people to be doing this at speedweek. What I said before was "why aren't record runs backed up? Bit sick of seeing records set and no other runs within 25MPH." Competitors should have to ba...

Re: Record Updates

Hooray at last! I have been wondering when someone was going to pickup the fact that some of the motorcycle records in PG ( Pushrod Engine: Gasoline class) have been set buy bikes with DOHC engines. For example P/PG1000 set on a GSXR1000 Suzuki and P/PG1350 on a GSX1300R Hayabusa. Also why aren't re...

Re: Longford Flying Mile

I agree Jim, it was a awe inspiring demonstration of brass balls that I witnessed, and regardless of the start line, it left me picking my jaw up off the paddock. Crazy stuff indeed.

Hi all
Also gotta say that I can't wait till next year when everbody starts at the same place and there's no more crying about Grants Hayabusa being 40 odd K's faster than everbody else. Doing 291 kmh (not 281) on that bumpy track was no mean feat regardless of where he started!
Cheers Jim

Hope you e...
