( 3 / 3960 )Russ Joyner gave the ex Baines Racing Laverda 750 Formula another outing on 5th September 2009 at Snetterton in two Thunderbike UK races. Starting from the back of the field in the first race, Russ stormed thorugh to finish fourth and then used the front row start to lead the second race until a missed gear robbed him of a podium with another fine fourth place finish.

( 3 / 6637 )Michael Saunders rode the Inzane bio-fuelled Laverda 650 Formula rather stylishly in a BMCRC Minitwins race at Cadwell Park in August. Michael carved through the 40 strong field of Suzukis, taking the 14 year old Laverda into 7th place before sliding off on the last corner.
Michael Saunders led more than 30 SV 650s in some style.

( 3 / 8096 )Inzane carried the logos of the UK's only domestic bioethanol manufacturer, British Sugar, at the Oulton Park BMCRC meeting in June. British Sugar manufactures 70 million litres of bioethanol per year at its Wissington Factory in Norfolk . Proving that the fuel is an excellent fuel component as well as being cleaner and greener than fossil fuel, Russ Joyner delivered a close fought second and a third in the minitwins.

( 3 / 7775 )24th April 2009 saw the second Alternative Energy Drag Racing Event at Santa Pod. While Russ's UK e85 standing quarter record (10.86s) from last year was well beaten by Adam Child from MCN running a Kawasaki ZZR1400, the team Inzane Bikes ran against each other in a biofuel minitwins only drag race. Adam Palfreman put in the fastest time on the team's Ducati 800ss at 12.152s (113.11mph) with the Laverda 650 only slightly behind with a very respectable 12.191s (111.16mph).
Whilst the MCN bike is undoubtedly the fastest road bike available, running it on e85 pump fuel (and yes, it is cheaper than petrol) gave it sufficient extra power to put it "into the 10s" with a run of 9.9509s (145.22mph) which is the first time a showroom bike has run sub 10s in the UK!
