Two championships will be decided at this meeting, both the ACU and Santa Pod racers club championships. Alan Davies has the points lead in both, but i'm not too far behind and it is possible for us to take it. The SPRC championship being the most desirable as the prize is free entry to the Santa Pod rounds next year.
A summary of all the possible bike class outcomes has been posted on eurodragster.com and can be seen HERE
There are 6 entries in comp bike including one newcomer (to comp bike at least).
4 Phil Crossley Suzuki GSX 1500cc
5 Tony Clark GSX1100 1500cc

16 Dave Smart GSX 1300R 1300cc

The bike is ready, it hasn't required much attention, clutch servicing and valve clearances, and a general going over looking for loose bits. I decided to further modify the progressive graph on the controller as the recent experiments to eliminate the lean spot have been quite successful, and so i've taken out even more nitrous, dropping it down to just 20% at one point. If that still isn't enough then i can work on the fuel graph and have that increase momentarily before resuming the progressive build. Tyre pressure will be hopefully be the other area of experimentation at the weekend, finding out how high we can go before it stops working, and seeing if we can get the 60ft times down a bit further. 1.15 is the best so far.
I did some more Bronze welding at the weekend and got the last of the engine mounts welded on, plus front subframe mounts. Fork shortening has also been on the menu, travel has been reduced by nearly 50mm, and i chopped up some FZ750 springs which will be added to the rather soft 125cc ones to make them a bit stiffer. They can also be preloaded should they not be firm enough.
