Thanks guys. It really helps seeing this support.
Bad testing this morning. 1st session dry with wet patches so did 2 laps on wets and came in. 2nd session put the slicks on, got 2 laps and it started raining. 3rd session, 2laps the get a feel for it finally, then 2 laps cutting through traffic to get space and get going and red flag came out for a big crash.
Into qualifying with only 8 slow laps.
Put a new rear on, took a bit to get some clear track and finally get a rhythm and feel going. Started to suss gears and some braking points, got a committed lap then got held up coming into the corkscrew.
Qualified 3rd overall out of 22 bikes. Looking at sectors my best lap if I hadn't been held up would have got pole.
Set up changes from last round have made it better.
Bikes attracting a shit load of attention. Bic certainly knows what he's doing!
Signal is very bad here but will update if I can.
Just have to get it launched off the line and get away with them. Not shown all my cards yet and def have low 1.14's or lower if I can get clear committed lap.
Interestingly the superbike pole time is a mid 1.09. And that's on a full blown 200bhp superbike. Ole tractor is holding its own!
