    Slippy .....

    Just came back from LTR a hour or so ago after getting some tweaks done. Coming back on the deserted b roads near my house I decided to nail it down my testing straight which is middle of 2nd up to the upper reaches of 4th.. I did'nt get far though lol Just coming out of a corner at 25-30mph in 2nd nailed it and spun the wheels up and went right across the road close to the hedge! backed off and thought it was gonna get a bit lairy for a sec but it straightened up fine. Phew..think I'll wait for summer next time!
