| Re: 1st place, 3 in row! Times.... Yeah, congrats on the wins bro. You are definitely doing something right.
Aren't you bracket racing? If so then I say, "Way to be consistent."
As for the reaction times, they all look good. It's not easy to pull off good reactions.
Last Thursday I pulled a .009 reaction followed by a .109 and then a .006 on the final run. Thousandths of a second are a pain to try and be consitent with. The Thursday before that I was running double those numbers. |

I haven't been competitive at all. I've been having air \ fuel problems all year. (That's what I get for messing with a good running engine)
I also gained 30 lbs. At the very moment I am on a severe diet to drop the extra weight. That in itself is costing me time, especially on the 0 - 60ft and through the 1\8.
Last year I was pulling high 9's with a stock wheel base \ stock height, with no strap. That was through the quarter. I'm definitely off my game this year. |

30 pounds, you live in GA you don't need to pack on winter weight. |

I'm starting a new workout and eating more healthy regimine now. Gonna try to lose about 15 lbs. I'm at 190 now. Might not be able to do it though if I start putting on some muscle mass. Atleast I'll look in better shape and feel better. |

30 pounds, you live in GA you don't need to pack on winter weight. | Basically stock? Only in the suispension dept. The gears have been undercut. Sprockets are 15 \ 45. The compression has been lowered to 13:1. Head has been ported and polished. The motor has been bored 3 mm over from a 919 cc and I'm running JE pistons. I have a set of 38mm Keihin flatslides as well. There was just recently some valve work done to try and get more air and fuel into the motor as well. (That's not working out as planned.) There are also a set of Erion cams tucked into the head. This is also a recent attept.
I have a 6 over swing arm, adjustable dogbone, and a strap sitting in the garage, but I honestly like the look on people's face when I show up with a bike in stock appearance and then run side by side with the Busa's. I think I would drop close to a second on my quarter mile times with this.
The Yellow 900RR in my avatar will only pull a high 10 with me on it right now. That's the fun bike though. That's the one I ride on the street. |
