    mossy round 4 qualify 6th row bugger

    New front internals by RT
    Qualify.Get a feel for new front end and run in new discs then lap 3 red flag during a hot lap.All results cancelled.
    Sent out with clubmans to re qualify.So many bikes Mossy decides to run slow and leave large gap for a hot lap.2nd lap pick up some pace but not happy with hairpin exit so slow down to leave the gap big and retry on third lap.Got a very good amount of pace then red flag again while in the extended section.
    Result qualify 22nd on 6th row 2nd from inside row.2.30secs.Well boxed in.Normally 1st or 2nd qualify this year this is minor diaster.

    Race one 5laps
    Never realised how hard its is being so far back on the grid and the front runners are well gone by the end of infield so a long way to catch up.
    Keep pushing and gaining places to end up 6th overall and first pre89 senior home and manage fastest lap in race one while in trafic 2.05mins so happy with result.

    Race two 4laps
    Another boxed in start and still 20th at end of lap one.Push back through the field to take first pre89 on the run to the start line on last lap for 5th overall.
    must admit there is a fun factor involved in being in trafic the whole race.2nd fastest lap time of race two.

    Link to race two footage.Lots of footage of postclassic racers for you guys to check out.Rt front end works very well and corner speed and brake markers are a lot better now so looking forward to the 15 laps on short circuit to see how much quicker the FZR is.

    Good stuff Mossey,
    Shame you didn't get a chance to qualify well... Frustration galore those sessions were....

    Good to see you got some practice blasting traffic though.... Training that may come in handy in the long races of next round.

    You let soo many bike go around you into that first corner mossey. Looks like Frenchy ruffled you up in the first lap. Don't think some of the 400 pilots appreciate how hard it is getting the power down on the big dinosaurs on the short circuit and how early you have to start braking to slow the beasties down. You've got some big baws throwing that thing into the final corner like that

    I think they realise... Just the 400 riders have to use the advantage of the higher corner speed they have... as they have stuff all torque to build the speed back up down the drag strips.... But then you know that already scracha.

    I must say I was sitting here going "Just pass Frenchy already!!!", "Just feed in the power"...
    Then again my Lap Top doesn't exactly have 140 horsepower to contain...

    And Mossy does an amazing, and very consistent job on that machine... from where I'm sitting.
