Saturday evening we went through the bike and found that there was a substantial amount of rear steer in the back wheel (hence the hard left).
With this rectified and other chassis / engine tuning applied we move on to Sunday.

E2 vs Len Paget, len pulls a negative reactiontime,he gets red lit, and blows his motor. we go through with a 7.75s .
E3 (semi finals) vs Danny Cockerill Danny out reacts us, but we out 60ft him, I punch the button for 2nd gear and the jolt makes me hit the shifter again (gutted, will apply a delay now in the Ecu ) we go 7.76. Danny takes the win to the finals with a 7.49.
