Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Tequila in the other, body bearing battle scars and totally worn out, screaming- WOO HOO!! What a Ride!

Well I went to Brands today.. Even managed to get out onto the track!.
It didnt rain, and I had a good time. Only saw one other lister there. The lass from Norhtampton with her dad and they have the Black Viento, sorry...
names are not my strong point.
I got out in a Suzuki GSXR1000 engined MK Indy.
Quite impressed, but not as much as I thought I was going to be. Definately a bit quicker than my Viento but not as much as I had expected. Still, it
was a good experience, and worthwhile.
Well Its off to SantaPod tomorrow. Its a Run What Yer Brung day. May even put the Viento down the strip just to get some performance figures.

Don't forget,the added weight of a extra person,80 to 100kgs,realy plays havoc with a BEC'S power to weight ratio,when your on your own
its a different story,also brands is a real power circuit,not realy best suited to show off the firtues of 85ftlbs of torque

80-100Kgs... I bloody wish!!!
128Kgs... is more like it
Me and my 19 yr old Son.. together we weigh nearly 255Kgs thats about 40% of the total weight of my Viento
The MK still went very well even with me in it. I appreciate it relies on minimum weight maximum revs to deliver its performance.
Now If I lost a few store, I would get a large BHP per Ton power increase for no extra money... How about that for the cheapest power increase in
history

Quite a claim... !
It's been interesting for us comparing the Fireblade and the Duratec Toniqs - very different experiences.

Would agree some what with jim @ toniq,
it is quite a claim and depending on your budget will depend how quick you can go.
but as i learned a lot is down to the driver i have seen better drivers in less powerful cars kick arse, even though i love my indy i know it is not
the fastest out there and thats because i need to improve my skills its not the cars fault,
Was impressed with your toniq cars something very different and performed well andy at AB p[erformance has also been saying good things about the car
so well done.
see you at the next track day?

Think this has been taken the wrong way!! When i was taken round the track in the MK we over took as far as i can remember most of other cars and were
not over taken.
Thats what i meant!
Didnt realise it was going to cause such a problem!
But everyone will make up there own minds when they get in the cars.
