TTXGP Today and Tomorrow at Laguna! Woot!

[liveforphysics]

I'm packing up for the TTXGP at Laguna Seca right now.

Been working 18hr days all week with my team to finish up the bike. Our rider is extremely good, and the bike rips!


Teams that are suposed to show:

MIssion
Brammo (PaulD is there now)
Zero
Lightning (possibly with a formula 75 and unlimited class bike?)
2 teams from europe
And a few more I'm forgetting but will update as I get there and see them.


It's also a MotoGP event! Woot!


If you're in Cali, Laguna is the place to be this weekend! Come on out!

And don't forget motocyzyxyzczz (I'll never get that spelling down) .. Cool to see the euro teams. Germany, Spain, etc.
Should be a tight race and decent grid... 12 or so entries.

Ohh yeah.

Sense ttxgp requires one..... What battery murdering system are you running Luke?

 

[Arlo1]

Hahaha love it. Is the ecentric on the brake lever for regen?

Mission just made history!

133.2sec lap on Laguna.

Holy chit!!!

That is intensely scary fast!

 

[ptd]

any new pics of YOUR bike? what'd you do about the rear tire? is this new rider a jockey type? all of 120lbs soakin wet kinda thing? 63 mph avg?, that's about 25% increase from last time. well done. what was the new top speed?

 

[liveforphysics]

Every single team is using pouch lipo. All LiCoO2 or NMC. No other cells here.

These bikes are fast enough that the motoGP bikes are taking notice. Missions 133sec is epic.

Fastest motorcycle lap in Laguna history is 1.21sec.

 

[bigmoose]

Are these all manufacturer sponsorships on the LiCoO2 and NMC pouch batteries? How long until you thing we can get our grubby hands on good pouch cells?

 

[kfong]

Damn, how come you get to have so much fun at work. Thanks for posting. That driver must have wicked balls to go that fast!

 

[liveforphysics]

Troy has a bunch of pics I sent him that he can't post because he left the house.

If somebody else has time and skills and is home, let me know and you can the pic hoster/poster for me.

 

[bigmoose]

Luke, I am now home and can do it.

These are very exciting times and that brings a tear to my eyes and makes me so excited. Congrats on the great life man as you start to realize how much fun you are having you might just start to limit you're personal risk taking even if its just a bit! :wink:

If you're here Travis, stop by my pit, in wearing a green "I am on Lithium"

 

[frodus]

Unfortunately Luke, I'm not. Couldn't swing it. Bummer!

Too far and just took a couple mini-vacations.

Just reposting from what I saw on another forum

Pix from Luke. The empty connector is their BMS. Luke told me that they were the only team with no BMS related faults!
