Hi Steve,

Thought you and your staff would be interested to here that we won the 2008 MILLER OILS N.Ireland Hill climb championship on saturday in the final round at Garron Point hill in County Antrim . Its has been a tight championship all season, and it was won by a single point in the end. The 1397cc hayabusa in our Force has been 100% reliable . We have had the car on the dyno at Holeshot racing fine tuning the mapping, which has made it very drivable in all rev ranges and peak power carries well on through to 12000 rpm limit.
Thanks to you and your team for all assistance this season.
Best regards ,
Will Loughridge

Well Done from all at SBD

Hello Steve,

just a quick note to let you know we had our first FTD in our Force pt at Croft hillclimb, Belfast on saturday . This was a round of N.Ireland hillclimb championship where we are lying 2nd overall and leading our class by a good margin . We were up against the usual Pilbeams plus other bike engined single seaters.

What is really noticable about the 1397cc busa is its low down torque, i can literally drive it off the line with 2.00 first 64ft time, i am really pleased with the 1397cc engine package and hopefully the results will keep coming.

I will be in touch with you shortly about installing the flat shift and possibly the dash also.
Many thanks,
Will Loughridge
