Default spa 2014 with the GTS

some pictures from the first round at silverstone. only difference from last year is it now has got some ported and polished heads. i ran a second faster at silverstone, been going there since 2005 so i know what it can do there. im trying to move the power up the rev range as i struggle for grip lower down. it already has some equal length headers ans a few other mods. nothing special, im going to fit some itbs after spa. just ran out of time

only managed two dry laps in qualifying before the heavens opened. gave us pole though, won the first race in the wet after finishing second on the road then finding out the guy was on wets instead of road legal tyres so he was penalised.
the second race was horrendous weather, the worst ive seen anywhere including 12 races at spa over the years. we won by a minute. couldnt be happier with the old girl. ill get some pics up tomorrow!

Congratulations. Sounds like a good time.

Always exciting running in the rain... I ran one race at Sears Point in the rain on a motorcycle, which turns out to be less scary then running 160 mph class at the Bonneville 100 in the rain.

Too bad, the weather is such a "joy" in Spa.
Eau Rouge must be the most Epic corner in the world…
Must mention that I'm Belgian so I'm not completely Impartial
Congrats with your victory...
