Thanks, we had a pretty good weekend. Saturday rained so we just teched and re-teched bikes all day. Sunday was nice so we registered for our normal 3 classes. The bike ran OK most of the day, with some small glitches. I built some new pipes and did some porting over the winter to try to make the bike more rideable on our short tight track. It seemed to work as Alex got better starts than I've even seen him have and shaved .7 seconds off his best ever lap time. A little more reliability and we'll have something pretty good on our hands. We'll be back at it in 2 weeks!

Another fun weekend. Great weather Saturday and we got a second and a fourth. Alex re-set his personal best lap time, dropping it by another 1.2 seconds. He's now set the fastest lap time by an RZ in at least 5 years!
It rained Sunday, and only having 1 set of wheels we had to make a call on tires. We decided to run rains and unfortunately it dried up a bit so we were able to get only 2 thirds and a fourth in our races. All in all a great weekend, lots of fun.
A friend of ours got some great Go-Pro video of our bike passing him and holding him off on Saturday that I'm hoping to get a copy of to post up.

Another great weekend racing, the RZ ran flawlessly and racked up podiums both days. Won our Formula Classic middleweight class both days and good results including a second in another class against modern bikes. Best ever lap time again on Saturday in the heat. It was even hotter Sunday (high of 36C) so we were off a second or so. I never turned a wrench on it all weekend apart from changing out a bent rim on the front. New Pirelli slicks are awesome.

Ran the Aprillia RS125 for the first time and it was competitive against the 250 ninjas, with some potential for development. The rider reports that its a ton of fun to ride.

Race season over, last 2 race days in the rain. We ended up with 3rd overall in our main class, formula classic, and also 3rd overall in middleweight twins.
