...here's try #3, part 2
- I had a blast running my bike! Didn't get much out of it as we were
fighting electrical gremlins & fuel starvation but I got some great seat
time! I also got good experience making less them optimum runs. There's
something to say about practicing what to do on a bad run. I enjoyed my
parade laps turning off just prior to the timing tower but could have done
without the last run where she shut down on me. I pulled the pin & let her
coast as far as I could then started pushin her to get the heck off the
track. Joe's response time to me was excellent as was my pit truck to get us
off the track. Again, invaluable experience on how to handle the not so good
runs. I came away with a few things to work on & that always makes for a
positive meet in my mind. When the bike was running it was running great. She
has great torque & about knocked me off the back a couple times when she
hooked up after choking. I look forward to getting her back together & making
another stab at it. That little Sprint is such a fun bike to ride & handles
like a dream!
I guess it's back to the drawing board for our team. We'll have to make a
plan on which bike gets attention now. Todd's is getting close to done & mine
may need to come apart. We may have hurt the engine on the last run having
run entirely too lean. It's all good tho, it just opens the door to start
working on some of the modifications we've discussed. We're in it for the
long haul so being down & without a bike for a meet or two is definitely not
going to keep us out!
