Posted by Mojomick on the JJ. Thanks for letting me repost some of his pics from the Ramsey Sprint.
An 1/8th mile sprint on the sea front on the Isle of Man.
Two 750's built and run by Simon Rees, one blown and one not.Both very nice to look at.

It took a little while to catch up with Simon Rees to answer your questions.
So far the blown 750 Triumph number 136 has run 11.5s on methanol as he
still gets used to running it. Simon is looking to beef the gearbox up
to allow better starts, which will improve times.
The answer regarding the long tube used on his unblown 750 Triumph, is
that it is a forced air cooler into the clutch area. Simon has a belt
drive under the cover and wanted to help keep the temperature down.
A washing machine tube is used - and Simon reckons it runs on the sprint cycle! (Blame him, not me, for that one)
Interestingly, best times for both bikes currently are within about a couple of hundredths of a second.
