[QUOTE="davidd, post: 128458, member: 1177"] I just talked to Alp and the problem he experienced yesterday that sidelined him was a spark plug blowing out of the hole. Unfortunately, it halted the record run on his new record, but the good news is there was no serious problem. SCTA has not released the Daily Logs with the data, but Alp said that he averaged 177 in the third mile and his exit speed out of the third mile into the fourth mile was 182 mph and still pulling. He was running on the short course, so the third-mile speed was used as the qualifying speed. The bike was pulling very hard at 182 and it took Alp a long time to slow it. He had to sit up and "air brake" with his chest at one point. Kurt was kind enough to send a photo that James Salter took of the tear-down and things look good to me. I like seeing that stock 7.3: piston in there. The Spares Co. may have a run on those, shortly. [ATTACH type="full"]37791[/ATTACH] As Alyn referred to earlier, what a great achievement for a new Vincent owner to build a machine in 10 months and have the shakedown tests go so well. Alp says that the total time on the engine is around 17 minutes. David [/QUOTE]
