Shakedown RWYB

As planned we are off to Shakespeare county raceway this weekend for some more Testing and carb setup. It's all a bit last minute but i managed to get the nitrous bottle filled and have secured a top up at the track. Usually it's not a problem getting gas as the Motorshack van is usually there. But this weekend it's at Santa Pod so it was going to be a problem. A fellow racer is going to do me a refill if i need it. Which hopefully we will and the carbs will be set up within a run or two!
We will also be running some demo races with a guy i know called Kevin marshal. Kevin's bike is very similar to mine but he doesn't run it in the ACU championship, normally he runs it at National Sprint Association events. It should be good fun!

The event is billed as the British Mini showdown, so there will be lots of Minis no doubt. Not sure what the track prep will be like but i'm hoping it will be ok or i could end up learning nothing. Anyway, there's no webcam, no live reports and no nitro FM so there's no way of following the weekends results. However i have my camera, the mini onboard camera and the laptop so i may post on here if things go well and theres anything worth blogging. Alternatively I'll have lots to post when i get back!
