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?  Wink Grin

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

Everthing is working fine.

3rd race: first place  9.158 @ 247.81km/h
4th race: first place
5th race: crazy race 1st run world record 8.979 @ 249.29
2nd run with passenger 9.241 @ 247.82
3rd (final run) run vs Zoltan Kohary Pro Mod (was running 7.2 in qualification) he didn't come to the stage and I broke my rear axle, and won first place.

6th race at Bechyne (Super Comp 8.90)
6 runs; five wins and broke the index in the final run vs Gerd Habermann with 8.733 @ 255.658km/h and a new world record.

Heads didn't come off till now. Roll Eyes
Clutch was inspected twice and is still OK after 75 runs. Shocked(will post pix in the clutch thread).

So long
