Guest Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Good morning guys and Girls.The TMBF sponsored, Backmarker racing machine will be out at Mallory Park again on April 12th for the 2nd round of the EMRA championships.Theres been a few changes since March, the main one being the change of bike. After the great 3rd place result in the 1000cc Novice race, I decided it was time to move onto bigger and better things. I set about getting a new bike.. Backmarker Racing, will now be competing on a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K1The bike is an Ex British Superstock bike and boasts a whopping 170 RWHP. Full spec includesFull Blueprinted engine by Dave hagon (Ex Crescent suzuki)Race issue, Big bore, Full Yoshimura exhaust system with Tri Oval End canSTM Uprated Race Slipper ClutchPenske Rear ShockOhlins front internalsBrembo Master CylinderGSX-R 750 4 pot conversionScott Steering DamperBMR Modified SubframeAnd some other bits and bobs.. With this machinery, were looking at a top 10 finish in the open 1300 class, a top 15 finish in the Buildbase class and a 1st in the nocive race. TMBF are kindly sponsoring fuel for this round and the next round so i'll be plugging the name as much as i can!!if you'd like to come and say hello to the Backmarker team, we dont bite, and we'd be more than happy to make your aquaintence.
