So here we are, Friday of the AMA-TTX eGP weekend. Alex, team owner and chief mechanic of Team Pril has been working doggedly on the eNinja XR1 (that stands for eXperimental Racebike #1) to make some improvements after Wednesday's trial. With an awesome quick turn throttle that plugs in instead of using a cable we solved three problems! No more lag in the throttle, full turn was cut down to 1/5 turn, and a huge issue we had on Wednesday was a problem with the cable catching and not allowing full throttle to be reached, and without the cable, that's no longer a problem either.
There are some super fast guys here and a couple super fast bikes, but I'm pumped for this historic event. I just saw a '69 Norton with RS125 wheels and Kawi forks, and one of the new Mavizen bikes that looks pretty pimpin'.
I heard a rumor that you have to beep your horn (yes, a horn is required) when passing someone because there's no noise to be heard, but rest assured, that has been proved false. I'll see what other crazy rules they bust out in the riders meeting.
Regardless of anything that does or doesn't happen, it's great to be here and be a part of this race, and I get a prime spot to watch Nick Hayman race my Mountain Militia Racing Ducati 848 in the AMA races. Read all about his debauchery at www.munroemotors.com.
