Thanks for your good wishes!
All long hard journeys begin with a single step.
The first aim is to prove out the new engine mods on the 500, and do as well in this year's British Vintage racing series of events as possible.
Then we shall see about the IOM.
Regarding the fuel, we understand that is an issue, and transitioning to a fuel suitable for IOM would be necessary.
These are all things which are along the path. BW and his brother have been at this for a good long while, and are seasoned veterans on the circuit. And he has some very good resources behind him, including us at Ace. I'm quite sure that we can work our way to to our destination.
And thank you also for your input and interest!
We always welcome knowledgeable and enthusiastic racers such as yourself in the discussions, and we hope you will even become a fan of our efforts.
Thanks again
At the proper time, BW will release the answer to the mystery 10k rpm comment. It will be interesting and fun.
