So yesterday was the car show/auto-x/drifting/burnout/sound-off at Western Dakota Tech Institute in Rapid City, SD.
I grab the Busa, and under threat of snow, ride into town. 33 degrees out, with 30+ mph winds. It starts snowing on the way in. I trudge on. I get there, and the ground is wet. Little pockets of flurries coming and going. I watch the drifting for a bit. I enter my covered-in-water/road-grime/sand Busa into the car show in the bike class. I never washed it, never even hosed it off.
I won Best of Show.
I feel bad for all the other people whose vehicles were clean, and shiny (albeit wet).
Oh well. It just goes to show that a dirty, grimy Busa can still beat out rat-rods, pro-street dragsters, and an azzload of imports for Best of Show.
I has a trophy!
Oh, and I was able to add 30 miles to the odometer!
First time out since tightening the block-offs, + adding GIPro w/ 5th gear map, and PCIII with a decent map. Holy shite! What a difference in power! Exhaust sounds better, throttle response was great, and I actually brought the front wheel up about a inch by just getting on it in 3rd at about 3500rpms, although it might have more to do with going over a railroad track lip at the same time. Had to change my undies afterwards. LOL.
