Hi to everyone

This weekend we raced at Bechyne (CZ).
First of all I want to thank the organiser MSTO: http://www.msto.org/
Jerry Lakey and his girls and Mike Barnett for this great event giving us the chance to run this ET's
As I was running Super Comp with Index 8.90 I was running lower level of nitrous than I usual do.

Friday training:
9.202 @ 251.645

Saturday qualification
9.047 @ 248.205
9.025 @ 249.309
As nobody ran a better time in the 3rd qualification round and I stayed top qualifier I quited the 3rd round.

Sunday final
competitor stalled the engine at the tree and I did a run without nitrous.
10.158 @214.164
final run was against Gerd Habermann and I prefer loosing by breaking the Index and my own record than trying to win.

9.733@ 255.658

Looks good, can you move the steering wheel so we can see what you shift at next time please? 

How are the heads and clutch working now? are you having to do much maintenance on them?

cheers Richie
