What´s it all about..

Rules in Pro Twin Bike mandates that the rider starts the bike using the onboard system, I kick start which gives the advantage of carrying less Amps and  less weight. The disadvantage is not being able to set mech. comp. much higher than 13,5.  A few years back the pushbutton racers got a change to the rules allowing remote batterys which kind of took a bite out my advantage, but I´m not whining about it. But what the hell I wouldn´t mind a class with no wheelie bars and Kick start only...... It´s kind of complicated to explain, but I still believe I have some advantage, running much less complicated electrical and the fact that I´m challenged to be properly tuned at all times. I do have a remote starter when I´m up on a lift or stands, and it has saved me a lot of grief when lost in tuning and little time to T/S.

Good weekend

Ran a 10.16 at Tierp Arena, personal best and I got som good data, totally different baseline after the headwork and I´m down on mainjest to numbers at the lowest end of my chart. Everybody else was trying to get richer on fuel as the air was 100%, and I couldnt believe that my A/F log recorded I was already fat, so after going against the data and loosing topspeed I ended up with the smallest Main Jets I had...and I´m back, and really satisfied. The winner Mikael Bagge/Warrior Racing Yamaha Turbo outperformed even himself and ran a super final aginst Keneth Holmberg/Swecomposite

Magic @ Tierp Arena

Last week of September in Sweden can be compared to places like Anchorage, of which i have limited  experience, but i general here in Europe drag racing is very dependent of weather, and right now we got warm  blue sky and dry, for a dragracer this is Tropical, add a robust forecast for continuing warm and dry and the ambitions rise, cause this may be what we have to remember for the reminder of 2011.I`m thru tech Inspection and seven Pro Twin Bikes are in,

A-Check

Tension is building up for the last and final race at Tierp Arena, no less than 33 TopDoorslammer (Outlaw) are registered and the bandnames for the final party in the GoldenBarn are actually known....so as of tonight i´ll start race preparations with leakdown and removal of the fr. head to correct an oil leak which came as a result of having to do a makeshift fix earlier when the return line from the fr. exhasut tin was soldered shut. I quess the Quality Inspection Engineer was of duty at the tin manufacturing plant............. but what the hell it´s intersting to see what the chamber looks like after the last w.o.t. runs.
