Aw bugger, thats a shame.
Anglesy and Busa's don't seem to like each other, yours is the second one to die there,
both dry sumped as well.

Bad luck Gezza!! School was always reputed to be an engine killer. Nice corner tho!

The 'other' Busa engine that died, was on the International GP circuit which doesn't have School in it (just for info). Were you
running slicks Gerry?
Sorry to hear about the news.

Hi Phil, no not slicks just screeming 888s, sideways out of the hairpin on to straight touching 110 and then after a full morning it gave up, looking
at the engine apart form no2 cyl, all was ok nothing untoward at all, just seems to be bearing failiure on no2, i have to admit we did use the limiter
quite a lot
