And in the Center Ring ...


With the Aprilia off to the side, the Big Bad Nitro Daddy Hayabusa once again moves into the spotlight. It doesn’t look very big and bad right now though, stripped to the frame and broken into its components. It’s all in preparation for making it badder than ever.
Rob took the engine out alone, but Andrew spent much of the day with him, tearing it apart and inspecting each piece. Everything looks good, no serious damage. It just needs a little tweaking to be an all-nitromethane engine. Into a box and off to George Dean Racing Engines for Carillo rods, etc, etc
Time to start thinking about tire concerns and weight distribution, too. So many problems to work out and just nine months to make it happen.
Happy New Year.
