Hi Dean,
We entered Gravity Bike with a 3/4 faired bike,my son Ian driving, our first event, and were the only faired bike there! Our fastest time down the hill was 2m 39s, just 6s slower than the fastest street luge, and we found out in the final that with our low weight, we were being caught up on the flattish lower section of the course, by a heavy rider who hadn'tmade it to the lower part of the corse previously. The street luges were radar gunned at 67mph, so we were doing about that!
We were well pleased with our results, and hope to have much more faired competition next time.
Send me your home address to derek@derekandirisround.fsnet.co.uk and I'll send you some pics.
Cheers
Derek Round.
