Took the bike for a blat. Best was 11.05 @ 131mph, 1.9 60ft so close to a 10.
Had a few 11.0's and .1's. Was reasonably consistent except for the one failed launch :lol: Wheel spin all through 2nd in one run, still not really sure how that happened even after looking at the video 8O

Track was in good condition and weather was good. Wind was SW which helped then turned SE, not so good but dropped down near the end. Amazing how much difference body position makes in regards to aero, can see why the guys in motoGP drop down with helmet on tank then in corners pop straight up. Huge amount of difference in drag and really helped the braking.

Some very quick cars out on the night. Not sure of times but I believe the link green machine was storming down well.
