Sorry I missed you Chris, had a bit of a disastrous day. Big argument with the noise tester because the dash on my GSXR doesn't have a numerical tacho so he couldn't have his exact 5,500 rpm (everybody else just asks me to stick it about halfway up the scale!) and he refused to test me. I eventually had to get the organizer involved and he made the tester see sense (even if he failed to see the red bull can behind the baffle). This made me late out for the first session and when I did eventually get out it was red flagged after one lap! Second session went Ok and I got nicely dialed in, then third lap of the next session the engine went bang right on the start line, looks like valves and pistons got to know each other......still I was looking for an excuse to tweak the engine....
