Excellent, John Lily called too and said he thought there would be a pace car that would limit speed to 50mph...I'll stick a few more cells in one of them to make sure it can keep up
Need a very brave soul to do 50 on a KMX mind, who will be the crash test dummy?

Nice one, I hear Bob was there from TeamHybrid with the OptiBike too?

It's interesting that Headway supplied cells with screw threaded ends, it would have saved me a fair bit of bother if they had been around when I bought my cells. Still, I now have a tab welder as a result, which may come in handy in future. Jeremy Yes, very useful! I'll know where to send A123 cel...

What a strange idea to be forced to offer your bike for sale. Are there any precedents for this in the racing world? Although I wouldn't mind myself, I can think of any number of reasons why teams wouldn't want to sell thier entry (secrecy not least, many teams may be racing in order to get a produc...
