Just got back from the 1300 mi roundtrip to the Arkansas Mile this weekend on my SV650n, where I caught-up with Eric (Racer-X).

When we got there Sat morning he had done a 118 and change, but the next run took out the head gasket. He swapped engines and made another run, but unfortunately with the same result.

He's exceeding the mechanical limits of the Ninjette's engine design at this point when he hits "The Button".

Here he is before heading out for another run -

Here he is just finishing an engine swap -
