I realise Slidey's got his tongue firmly planted in his cheek but I don't think supercharging is legal for dirt track Jim. I've got a nitrous oxide kit I'm tempted to use on one of my bikes but I've been told it's classified as 'supercharging', just like a turbo or a blower.

If supercharging is legal over there, when you come over for CD9 I'll give you one of my NOS kits for your B44. ;D ;D

Thread hijack, nah just kidding.
If you were to use a supercharger it'd have to be an original one from that era wouldn't it?

I've seen 1 of those ridden by Sammy Miller at Manfield sometime in the 90s from memory :)

Didn't sell. Thought it wasn't badly priced just as a core bike for what it is, without the turbo.
