Went out for the first race, got an alright start, not great. Went from 15th to 12th. Then I was just sorting things out & we were red flagged.
Restart:: got a blinder 15th to 7th!! by turn 2 & I was hunting for postions. Then all of a sudden the bloody thing drops onto 3 again!! For christ sake what now. Pulled into the pits. Started looking for things that could be wrong, first we saw a kink in one of the fuel hoses, then we found the pump had come off its mounting?? god know how that happend? THEN we had the fuel filters full of water again. So in the prosess of fixing them I broke the end off the fuel pump. We were screwed, bigtime!
Then Rob said, I have a couple of Honda VFR pumps here, that'll work. So away we went grafting a VFR fuel pump onto an FZR So you could imagain all the wires & plugs are different. But in the end we got it running, we hope. Because we changed so much stuff, we really didnt know what or if we fixed anything. We'll find out tomorrow. Ive got to start from rear of grid, so its gonna be a shitfight to move forward safely. But these thing happen. Im sure in the race I would have got into the high 1.40s.
So we hope we live to fight another day..Dissapointed isnt the word. When it was going it was really going. I just hope we have to sorted this fuel issue out once & for all.
So that was my day, the guy that got air lifted out is ok from what I know, which is good.
