It sure is sounding sweet from the cheap seats -

I'm trying to listen past the Doppler effect.  That seems like a steep shift into high - pitch dropped almost a major 5th.

1.23 3rd gear?

Well, I guess we're making a LOT of progress . . .  :roll:

1.23? I wish, 1.32 from memory,sold to me as a 1.25 :cry:.... A close ratio box is so obviously needed when you're in the basement ratios that we were running last week.

The empty pit with the shade cloth in the foreground of the shot after I go past is the salubrious SOS pit,not quite the WGB.........

OUCH - That's a steep hole to pull out of.

You may well have had enough power, but simply fell off of the table on the gear change.

Engine sounded good from a distance - wasn't shooting ducks, anyway.

Goggs,
         Where's the report we've been so patiently waiting for?

You will be at B-ville SOS or not, right.

Back to work for you.   :-D

Patience? You young bucks obviously have a different understanding of the word. I have fifteen hundred words and I'm only up to the first run :wink:

Give us chapters on the story, we don't need it all at once.  Will build up the drama!

So then did you get to try one of the lower gear ratios?

stay`tee

for what its worth Goggs, on that 204 pass i watched you go by the pits and thought to self, "he's up against it",,
First Australian to ride a motorcycle over 200mph at Bonneville,,,

It did 186.955 with the 2:14's on Tuesday
It did 204.07 with the 2:14's on Wednsday
then 179:272 with the 2.28's on Thursday

Was running rich off it's tree all week (Aussie expression)
and I am fairly confidant that the Battery Isolator died during thursday's run
We also had some other odd failures that we fixed during the week
and there aren't many photo's because our sponsor, Competition Coatings in Coburg, gave us a really nice
silver foil cover to put over the car to keep it cool. Last year, by thursday morning, the car was too hot to touch.
