I will be there - we have planned a couple of years of testing before another pop at Bonneville in 2015. The race track is spot on for testing engine reliability. If it can last race distance it will do 3 miles throttle on the stop at Bonny.
This time we are going to put the 250 record beyond reach. We would like to top the 500 speed 148. summit to make the KR the fastest proddy two stroke ever but that is a tall order. Just putting it beyond Jim's reach is target 1
Apart from 250 we are also going to have a pop at the 650 (600) record, presently 165. summit and the PP-1000 record. This last one is the difficult one got to top 197 - that is one hell of a target for a proddy 1000cc.
Weapons of choice are
PP-250 KR-1S
PP-650 ZX6R (636) 2006
PP-1000 ZX1000 2006
For the diesel's I reckon the 2006 models have the best aero and at speed aero is king.
My 2012 race season probably won't start until Donny should do all DP apart from the last Cadwell (going to be doing the Anglesey Grand)

Fontyy and myself will be out to play when it gets warmer - I don't do cold

Will pop in and see you Ben. We are out in force, Fran is either ACU steward or incident officer can't remember which, Ursi is doing back of the grid and I am on recovery. So I expect to only see you in the garage or watch you on track non of us want to meet you in a professional capacity
PS I will bring two wheels up so you have a choice.

Weekend is over and I now look forward to Cadwell next month.
Was great seeing everyone again after a winter of hibernation and good meeting up with Headcotes.
The KR of Pete Lodge developed a bottom end problem in first practise, so didn't see a race and I blew my head gasket on lap 2 of the first race and couldn't get my bike to work for the rest of the weekend, so all in all, pretty bad weekend for us.
I'll come back strong for Cadwell.

Great weekend
Nice to have caught up with Luders and his Clan,I now know 2 people on this forum
Mixed weekend too as Dave had 2 seizures (Dave had spare bike) and Lee's bike ,the top piston was wrecked so barrels had to be changed on the Aprilia
Also 2 crashes on practice day on friday
I think i will keep to my LC's as they are a less pig off a job to work on
Dave did pick up two 2nd places in his class though
Might go to Cadwell, but not sure yet as i'm a lightweight
