Almost Got an STD in the Fall!!!

I ALMOST got "Slowest Time OF the DAY" this Fall when I competed in the Miami Valley Sports Car Club's Points event number 6. I beat a Porsche Speedster by a tenth of a second and achieved "Second to last!!" In doing so, I achievedmy goal of "Beating Someone" with my Electric Triumph!!! The noise you hear as I go around is the output u-joint on the transmission hitting the tunnel cover as I broke the tailshaft mounts loose :-( - otherwise it would have been nearly silent. I will return in the spring and hope to improve the performance quite a bit. I was pulling 375 AMPS instead of the expected 550AMPS, and was not pulling over 100 off the line. I will pull all brushes, resurface them, and install batteries with 900 AMP discharge capabilities and see what happens :-)
