Last weekend saw our first National KRC 6 Hour Endurance Race at Snetterton.
After qualifying mid pack of 45 teams on an ill handling bike the race started
at 1200. Unfortunately after 30 mins of racing and in around 20 position
the Russell's Chicane took its toll with a resultant High-Side. The bike went
down the track on its side and then onto the rumble strip. The RG-Racing crash
protection worked well although we did suffer from a cracked right hand side
engine casing - probably due to the rumble strip.
30 minutes later we were back out on track and back up to 36 place. At around
the 3hour 20 point another high speed off brought the bike back to pit lane for
more attention with fairing damage and little else, again the RG Crash
protectors did their job and minimized major damage to exhaust and engine
casings. The next 3 hours of racing went very well and we romped home in
30 position overall, picked up championship points in class and then > won
the best pit crew award. All this can be seen on the KRC website www.krcendurance.co.uk
under the race report on the results page. You can also see our team at www.teamphoenixracing.com
and I attach a couple of photos for your info. So all in all we tested your
product to the max and were very happy with the results. Your crash protection
prevented more serious damage from occurring and stayed intact with 2 crashes -
one on each side. Thank you for you assistance and support and hope that our
overuse of your crash protectors last race will not be repeated in Bishopscourt
in Ireland on June 21.
