kicker Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Sweet! I have already made my changes for the next meet, upped the main jet size and am running no head gasket now which should bump the compression a little. I also made a start on my villiers machine, I won't use my board track bike but will make something similar but out of bmx's so it's lower EDIT: Will also bring HD video cam to capture HD machine/rider failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Head will not explode - its a scientific impossibility at that speed - however there is potential to blow the back of your skull off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunta Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Keen to die in style on my scooter, i'll see what I can rustle up. i feel it would be a good idea for u to take off thursday and friday and come to wellington for velodrome racing tomorrow!!

Steelies Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 if it's poos weather tomorrow we'll raincheck for a week or two. but overcast and unpleasant is well raceable, pretty much only continuous rain will put us off. race on word on the streets is the couch now has new wheels, exhaust, higher gearing and possibly running new CDL. grudge match on between mr couch and myself.
