r1 flies at last!

[johnnymack]

Just to let Kiltie know the R1 turbo is in the final stages of shake down at last. Lots of flames and bangs - Yippee!!!! Testing this Sunday for fine tuning at secret location in Angus.... Too late for this Fintray, and only on reserve list for June Golspie because I slept in by two minutes on the day for entries. But hopefully we'll get her out for the August Fintray, July Alford, September Golspie and Lossiemouth. How's the Busa going?

Thanks to all for the good wishes. I don't think I'll have the set-up sorted well enough for the May Fintray, but I'll definitely be spectating. I'd have thought it will be oversubscribed, but I'll find out. Good luck to all - drive them like they're stolen, but remember to stay on the black bits....

Just found out there are still places left at Fintray. Have to say I'm surprised, given the popularity of Golspie. I've fired off an entry, so all I have to do now is work to get the beast fettled in time. A wing and a prayer I expect, so you'll not have too much to worry about Kiltie! Is that fiend Drew Murray still performing heroics in the Fury?

Thanks G4. You're welcome to have a seat in the R1t at Fintray if you're brave enough to be a test pilot! I imagine your current personal power to weight ratio and dimensions are about the same as mine. If you can double enter on the day I'll leave it up to you.
