Open sport nationals 2015

The debut for new bike went well. The firstrun was a solo - no nitrous  'handling pass' just to check everything is ok. It was a huge relief when it went absolutely arrow straight, with no issues whatsoever, the time was a 9.0 at 145mph. The next couple of runs i had the nitrous back on but had problems with it at full throttle, it left the line ok but would nose over after a couple of seconds then not take full throttle at all. The best time being an 8.6 something at 137mph. That evenings investigations revealed i'd wired the nitrous solenoids up wrong and almost certainly the cause of the problem.
The next day we made it to the pairing lanes on 3 occasions and each time it rained. Eliminations didn't happen either due to non stop rain that day too.

And so, we have to wait 3 more weeks until the National finals at Santa Pod to find out how it goes. Now i know its ok i really can't wait.
