DaveO ran a 221 and I think a 217. The 217 took out one of Scott Guthries records and the 221 took out Jim Owens record. Both of them on the "Tiger". Dave was able to give me an incrediable amount of feedback regarding gearing and a different feel for what is happening. What made it nice for me was I was able to be in the tower at the line and watch the bike and listen to the motor each run. It was worth it. My apologies to Wayne Pollack who also wanted a ride, but we ran out of juice. (That was my excuse). Anyways, congratulations to DaveO for riding the "Tiger" to 2 new /Fuel records and winning the Tiger Racing challenge taking home an additional $100 for coming within 5mph of the track nitrous record (mine). Now that's really fun, I post the reward and then have someone use my own bike to win it. Call me crazy.
It was a great weekend and we learned a ton. I'm thinking that Alky is in my future if I am to ever get near 230. Sounds like a new drink, I'll have an alky and juice please! Wayne, this will serve as my public announcement. You will have the glory of riding the "Tiger" on it's inaugural run on Alky if we decide to put it on for October.
