Barry Sheene practice report
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2009 5:25 am
Well Had a funny start to the day. Did 3 laps & the FZR started to drop into 2 cylinders????
Came in with the shits. Had a look around. I think when I removed most of the wiring, I took out the reserve switch. Bad move, you need a complete circeit to make the pump work, because it tell the computer to drop a couple of sluggs so you hit the reserve switch. Anyway put it back together with a bridge wire, & va va voooom.
For the rest of the day we chased set up., it has a bit of patter in the front & a couple of corners, & a bit of wollow under power in others. But we were getting ontop of it. 10,500rpm down the straight with the gearing Im running is around 270+Ks.. Its lifting the wheel comming onto the straight, & going up corprete hill. What a blast!!
The tyres were working well & mostly I kept improving my lap times & settled into just learning the track. Which I must say is fantastic!
Didnt go out in the last session, didnt see any point. We can do a few things in the morning & she'll be apples.
Had a good old chat with Robbie Phillis, & Graham Crosby about the old days. Weather was warm & mostly clear.
So all's good for this old fart. Ive got quallifing in the morning & a race after lunch. & thats it for tomorrow.
