You guys crack me up!!!
I think Tezz deserved a trophy for many reasons; driving such a long way, supporting the WON effort, being the only bike customer to participate in the event (although the Busa was also using my system), running the quickest ET, etc. ect but they only had one trophy for the WON class and I decided Moo deserved it for his persisitance in attending the event, regardless of the obstacles in his way and for biggest improvement from WON.
Its always a difficult decision to pick between different clsses of vehicles, because its easier for a slow car to achieve a bigger improvement in an ET, plus its harder for a bike to achieve the same percentage improvement as a car. So with all that in mind, Tezz probably achieved most if there'd been a way of directly comparing unlike with unlike.
The truth is you all deserved a trophy just for being such decent blokes and for making the effort to support me and the event but at least those that didn't get one DID GET something much better and more memorable, a new PB.
Tezz you should have told me you weren't happy running on your own and I'd have sorted that for you. In my book I'm happier running alone when trying to set new PB's because you can concentrate on JUST getting everything right and you're not distracted by the other guy.
If it hadn't been for the EXTREMELY UNUSAL weather wasting a good couple of hours of the day and if you'd all been running PB's most of the day, I'd have arranged for you to run against Perry for example but as it was there didn't seem much point till the end and then it was too late.
Most people seemed to have learned something new yesterday, like;
1) You need to start with a full bottle
2) The bottle needs to be turned on
3) You need a good electrical connection to the solenoids
4) The right amount of fuel is required to match the nitrous to achieve good results
etc. etc.
Scott my Elise experience was a mixture of torture and pleasure. Torture getting in and out but a pleasure once in there. I gave it "a small blip" up the return road and I was sorely tempted to request a run on the track but as you posted a good time (although I'm sure there is still better to come) and time was short, I decided to pass on it.
We any luck the Klingon woman will be a customer next time out and then she'll be more "satisfied" with her lot.
All I can say is a BIG THANKS to all of you who attended the WON event and I wish we could have one every weekend, then you'd all be running record times by the end of the year.
