Took off to the Ring yesterday.
Had hoped for less traffic and unfortunately the track closed after first run due to biker who went off.
But still good fun.






And managed to get the Cayman to new top speed at the autobahn, 163 mph according to the sat nav.. Not bad for a 14 year old 2.7.

Awesome! I see a little daylight under the right rear.

That's Pflanzgarten, it's a sharp drop with a good right hander.

So the idea is not to brake before the drop and still make the turn
it's a popular viewing spot

Not exactly practical for a run to the corner store, but neither is this.

Cal was faster than any of 'em. Interestingly, the team that owned this bike struggled during Speed Week and never did even get it qualified for a speed run. H-D took an interest, had their own Dick O'Brien take charge, and they went back to the flats one week later, along with Gary Gabelich in The Blue Flame. Both set world records that next week. Also interestingly, they were running Warner Riley's motor in it by then, but on only about 60% nitro. 266 mph from a stroker Ironhead Sportster motor.
