LOL Superman, not quite. it was actually just below fereezing that day. A little duct tape on the nose and all was good. You actually stay very warm as the corners are a lot of work. As for gearing running 15/43, they had a radar gun on the front straight, saw 92 mph. The 650 Berg was hitting 94. Th...

Yep its a lake, it actually rained the day after the course had been plowed out so at the start the whole track was like a hockey rink. After 3 hrs it was a different story some of the slower corners had 6" ruts. Cant imagine what those were like at the end of 6 hrs.

The track was 6.2km long(about 4 miles) with what I'm guessing about 60 turns and 4 fast straights. The only thing close to the big 5 power were a couple of Husaberg 650's...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bottom end? Highly doubtful considering the motor has less 20 hours since being completly rebuilt. (meaning every bearing replaced) but thanks for the suggestion. Any others?
