[QUOTE="royrobertson, post: 158098, member: 2486"] Yes I know that his class runs with no fairing. I am not sure if the tiny fairing on my 150mph runs is actually a help or just rider protection from the blast. Note on the 166mph average run the exit speed at the end of the quarter mile was only 158mph ( I must have lifted my head looking for the finish boards) so somewhere in the run I must have been doing over 170mph. As it was the same bike as the previous year what a difference a proper dustbin makes to the top speed. On a quarter mile sprint there was no advantage except the top speed is ten mile an hour quicker. A best of 131mph was achieved. I very nearly got into the Tens once with a run of 11,018 secs over the standing quarter on 50/50 Avgas / Supergeen petrol on my Classic race bike. Hopefully Alp should get at least 20 mph increase if he runs streamlined but I understand there are a considerable number of " hoops to jump through" to run this class unlike here in the UK. The very Best of Luck Alp. Cheers Roy [/QUOTE]
