Amazingly, we have a slim points lead at this stage, but 70 points isn't a safe margin by any means.
Plus this is only the 3rd event of 6 so really it's still wide open.
I haven't done much to the bike, just checked it over and maintenance stuff. I'm not 100% sure what happened on the last run when the nitrous seemed to stop flowing, but i have a feeling i didn't refill it properly as it weighed less than usual afterwards, and it was probably picking up less liquid and more vapour sending it really rich.
Based on this, the plan is simply to run it without any major changes to the setup and see what it will do on a clean pass.
Meanwhile, back in the batcave...... the 30ton press is very nearly complete and had no issues popping a GS750 crank to bits. I'm just waiting on a fitting for the pressure gauge to arrive and i'm going to need a bearing separator.... eBay should come up with something!
I had some 1" thick plates plasma cut with cutouts just for crank purposes, a little machining and they should do the job nicely. I've no idea how to put a crank back together, but i'll have a play about. Hopefully without anything breaking free .... presses are a bit scary!
