Guys,
I'm on Dave Roper's e-mail list and thought you might enjoy these updates.
It's Wed. midday and we're ready to go up to
scrutineering shortly for eve. practice. I've got
three laps in so far, one Sat. and two Monday. Last
evening's practice was canceled due to 'mist on the
Mountain'(they won't run practice or a race if the
helicopter can't get to anywhere on the course).
Things are going quite smoothly so far and we've just
done a few minor adjustments. I'm roughly 8th fastest
so far, but there are several fast runner who haven't
gotten in a good lap yet for various reasons. If I
finish in the top ten, I'll be happy. The motor seems
stronger this year and is again bone dry. But I'm not
happy with the fairing and fuel tank,which put me out
in the wind too much. I'm feeling it in my biceps and
I think it's hurting top speed.
The island continues to change a bit with new
buildings, but it still drips in charm and is a
beautiful as anywhere on a sunny day, of which we've
had several.
I'll try to get back here to the Onchan Library to do
an update in a couple of days. DR
