Yes, but if you look at his times, as Kenny P is wont to urge us to do, rather than the grid position, he is less than a second a lap behind his team mate Greg Lavilla, recent BSB champion and allegedly world class racer. And Greg has been on the bike... well, I was going to say all year but it turned up late, didn't it. But he's still been on it about a hundred times longer than the Stalker has.

So I'd say he's performed on track so far realistically about as well as anybody could have reasonably expected.

The next question is, how well has he performed at the turnstiles?
