Got picked for the last race,,,run before I lost a cyl and was smoking and was close to beeing out of Nitrious.I was going to run it anyway.They ran out of time so I get to come back in two weeks and run the first race.I got two weeks to tear down and fix the problem.Best run was a 6.72 and slowed down to a 6.84 on the last pass smokeing.Number 6 plug was oily.I only have the time and money to do a patch job.We will see.Guzzi Mark
