He said it was tuned on the rich side running an O.S P3 Plug, Alpha plus 0801 tuned pipe on 30% Nitroninja Race fuel.
Good run times of 8.5min tanks (on a tight engine) and impressive power shined through (even through the worst of the mechanical problems he had during the day). A few decent qualifiers seen him seal a place in the A main.

After calling a delay at the start of the A main finals to sort out some diff issues, he found himself starting from the back of the field.
After the first lap he had gained 3rd position and then scorched his way up toward and then claiming the number 1 position over the remainder of the race and held the lead position until the finish with 2 laps up on the next competitor.

Not a bad days racing with what looks to be a very strong engine, don't you think?
