been a long time since i've updated. Got engine pretty well sorted, had a cupped valve causing a lot of my tuning/running issues. New Ferrea stainless valves, DRz springs and an FCR 42mm flatslide.
New shoes, 25" all the way around.
front brakes added with new master. Had to continue to use the roketa calipers in the back.
fixed a-arms and added a 3rd leg to the lowers for added support.
thrashed like a maniac and made first race, still bolting parts on 1/2 hour before start.
Race start to 2+ minute mark where i wipe out the go pro mount.

corrected time after a couple "need-and-can't-find" reverse issues (i9ncluding that put it in the trees power oversteer moment lol) was a 19 minute lap on a 7 mile course with no pre-ride. Fastest of others was 15m
lap two, had the boogies shoes on for real and saw the left rear rim come loose, destroyed hub and rim. and parked it on course with 1 lug nut holding it on.
ITP rim was made for 12mm studs, didn't realize it and had 10mms in there. Not good. next race June 4th, have new hub, gotta drop a c-note for the rims and drill the hubs for 12mm studs.
Never ends LOL
