2021 part 2 Racing again! - Västerås round 1

             Race 1 Västerås 2022 - 12-13 June  


Calendar came out later in 2021 

4 races for the season 

So we started tweaking the bikes, seeing if we could get a little more performance and get the bikes competitive for the season 


standard exhaust removed 
New performance exhaust fitted


Below are the lap records for each class as of 2021 
Stock class is 41.783 - since 2013 !
Our goal is to beat this...


We arrived early and set ourselves up in our usual place and made the bikes ready for the weekend - nice weather and plenty of teams and riders had made it for the start of the season.









Travis qualified 2nd with a 43.006 behind Gustaf who had a 42.301
Lewis was last and was still learning the gears - bad gear selection around the track gave him his fastest lap time of 47.522


2nd place for Travis in race 1 



DNF for Travis in race 2 
slid out when he touched the grass on lap 4

Lewis last 47.061 - getting a little faster !






we had some new problems during the weekend - rear sprocket bolts coming loose was one 
trying out a new sprocket that didn't match the chain pitch was a stupid error too...

"but a man who never made a mistake never made anything !"

Eddy trying a mini moto out again and enjoying it - he will try more in 2022







Evening track fun 

The second race was held on Sunday, it was the opposite way around which makes a whole new circuit  



Travis looking a bit miffed straight after his DNF in race 2  - Lewis although is very happy that he "beat" his older brother 



Packing up and heading home after a fun weekend
