I raced against Mike a few times when he had that set-up. A one-hour mass-start time trial on a 1.4 mile track, and I'd routinely double-lap him. Since then he's gotten an unfaired lowracer. Last year he lapped me. Quite a turn-around.

I've been looking at these

to expand my riding season, but it's a hard sell to the wife unless I can use it for commuting. The problem is, I'd still need a car for snowy days.
