KillaJoule (and I) set our first FIM world record today! Not particularly fast, but perfectly clean runs. Lots of power left to use and three more days of racing. If the speed gods and goddesses are with us, we can go much faster. Ran two successful runs today and set a small, but real, FIM… Continue reading First world record for KillaJoule!
