Testing on
Friday went well but we still were way off pace for a top 5 qualifying
position. With a new motor and new NOS controller there is a
lot to figure out and the customary 3-4 test hits on the Friday
before the event just are not enough to figure everything out.
Deciding to just get thru the weekend without destroying a brand
new motor we choose to leave a soft tune up in for qualifying
which landed us in 9th position.
Elimination
round 1 on Sunday went very well with the bike responding to
changes made resulting in a win. Second round was however another
story. Changes to the NOS tune up resulted in an et reducing
wheelie and a round loss to event one winner and qualifier number
3.
Still it was
a productive weekend. Nothing major broke, we made it home safely,
and our families didn't change the locks while we were gone.
Old Blue will be returning to Del's for some more dyno tuning
to close any gaps left behind in the prior thrash so we can continue
to improve performance and get back in the hunt for later in
the day round wins.
Up next will
be the Spring Nationals at Memphis, TN on May 2-3 and hopefully
Mother Nature will cooperate and provide some breaks in the rain
to do some local testing.
