HI Gents,
I have just finished up my A7 for the racing season. Next weekend Im making an attempt on a record at the ECTA's Ohio mile event in the Special construction vintage 500 class. Im pretty excited to get this together this early and make the event thats a little closer to home for me. It will also be a good chance to test and tune the machine before THE BIG DANCE of Bonneville in Aug.
Cheers
Dan
