Mallory Park April 5th 2009

Well the opening race of he 750MC Bike Sports championship at Mallory Park on 5th April 2009 did not go as planned.

Qualifying went well and the car ran fine except for a few puffs of smoke!! Jon qualified 5th which we were reasonably pleased with.

Jon started the race in 5th position on the 3rd row. The race started and Jon managed to take 3rd into Gerard's, all was locking good. However the smoke continued. Jon had to retire from the race due to increasing water temperature. Post race inspection indicated that the head gasket had gone. This unfortunately put an end to our weekend.

Back at the workshop we found the cause of all the problems, The inlet camshaft pulley had slipped meaning the the inlet valve had been touching the pistons. In turn this jacked up the head and caused the head gasket to go. The rest is history as they say.

Back to the drawing board.

LR1300 gets tuned Suzuki Hayabusa

Running a standard Suzuki Hayabusa the LR1300 has proved to be very competitive lapping Silverstone National circuit in a consistent 60sec. However in the constant search for more speed we have just installed a tuned 1300 engine so we expect to be below 60secs next time out.

We are very pleased with the power that the newly installed engine has. However since we now have a tuned engine why not get more power... So we are now trying a few more tweaks to get even more.

POWERNIGHTS Silverstone 21st Aug 2008

Around the outside of a Ferrari Photo Courtesy Steve Jones	No first race nerves.... The POWERnights format means that you qualify for race 1 and then your fastest lap time in race 1 is your qualification time for race 2. The races are started in reverse order. The qualifying times are then grouped into categories, each group being given a 10 second starting penalty. This means that pole position is at the back of the grid plus a 60 second penalty (almost a lap). The LR1300's first race nerves never surfaced when Jon qualified in pole position for race 1 out of a 27 strong field. This meant that Jon would start race 1 from the back plus 60 seconds. This did not halt the progress of Jon in the LR1300 and he finished Race 1 in a very respectable 11th. With the starting grid for Race 2 decided on the lap times in Race 1, Jon started 4th from last plus a 60 second penalty and drove hard to secure a 7th place finish. All in all we feel that the LR1300 held it's own in a very strong field and kept the LR's tradition of race successes.

Silverstone 1st August Testing

We were very pleased with both the lap times and reliability of the LR1300 during testing.
Modifications to the front suspension have eliminated the slight understeerr present in medium speed corners which gives the car new levels of control.
