National finals 14

It seems like only a few days ago that we got back from Santa Pod, but a couple of days from now we are heading back for the next meeting, the National Finals. Which isn't the finals at all - well, not for bikes anyway - for us it's round 5 of 6.
Last week i made some new axle blocks for the bike, they are only a bit so longer than the current ones, but with the addition of a few links to the chain it's allowed the wheel to move a clear 2 inches further back from it's current location. It won't be radical that's for sure but it should help stop the bike hitting the wheely bars quite so hard off the line, and reduce the bouncing that then happens - or at least that's what I'm hoping for.

Only 6 entries again in comp bike, funnybike is faring a lot better this year, with 13 entries once again. The points tables are interesting so far, mainly because almost none of the events so far have actually gone to eliminations so there's only qualifying points in it. As a result pretty much anyone stands a good chance of winning this year.

We will head down to the pod on Friday, with qualifying on Saturday and (fingers crossed) eliminations on Sunday. Eurodragster.com will be covering the event as usual with all the usual links on the event page here: http://www.eurodragster.com/santapod/live/2014uknationalfinals/default.asp
