Well, my friend, here's what you're going to need to do if you want to
"beat" me. First of all, misprogram the F.I. so that when you're at
speed and hit the N2O button things go WAY lean. That'll get you a
real nice set of paperweights for the house, and the puffs of smoke
that emanate from your scooter will give you a chance to learn
first-hand how quick the course stewards and safety workers respond to
a "situation".
Then learn some way to drain the oil from the bottom end when you're at
something like 12k rpm. That'll fill your crankcase with really
cool-looking shrapnel, and the oil fog that'll envelop you will offer
some great photo opportunities to those folks standing by at the side
of the course. Jon Amo described the view as a "free, well maybe not
so free, wind-tunnel test of the aero of your bike."
Still wanna "beat" me?
