yep, I saw that also...that thing is going to rip!!!

I expect the times to fall in the 47s before the day is over...

I think it is interesting that the Bostroms have "swapped". Ben to the I4 and Eric to the twin. They are both wicked fast! I think it says a lot about them.

Zemke's running pretty impressive too. 1:48:632 And that's on the B bike

EDIT: Make that a .596

Maybe this bike will rock, but I'd hardly say this test proves it.

Well well see, Tigert just got his 600RR, has the 1000RR on the way(Honda is giving him like 4 bikes--Damn)--lets see if he dominates AFM on em (like he did last year)---Sat, he couldnt say enough good thing bout the RR he was breaking in--but then again he is working for Honda R&D

Exactly, he works for Honda R&D as a test rider. You think he's going to rip the bike up?

He also is now club racing on factory bikes...with factory development knowledge.

Yikes we could be seeing 46s by the end of the day!!!

Heavy-Dee · 12-09-2003, 1:48 PM

Where are you guys getting these times?!?!

RRWANTR · 12-09-2003, 1:52 PM

Look back a few posts in this same thread for the link.
The times are now reset on that site I believe due to the noon reset out there...

while these laptimes are impressive - gotta point out tho - will the new honda and duc (and tires) be able to hold together for the whole 200?

also - I remember the same breakdown for the factories for the 200 last year and after the Arceys owned in Flordia (well, Arron could have gotten on the box but...) the Honda wasn't looking so good everywhere else... here's to hoping this year is different!!

1.47.650, b bos!

Hmm, they must be working with a tailwind. The ram air must not be functioning to provide full power output

They're just sandbagging until the season starts.

Nahh, they are just waiting for BDA to show up. He isn't that good but that bike will make up the difference to get him in the 46's.

You kiddin'? I'm already here. I just came in after turning low 47s, but my bike doesn't have a transponder. It did cook lunch for us, though.

Low 47's? That's it? I figured you'd be outrunning the laptimers

BDA116 · 12-09-2003, 4:13 PM

I just wanted to point out that Ben qualified on pole last year for the Daytona 200 with a time of 1:48.376. They are testing tires with a new, undeveloped bike and Ben is under his pole time.

ND4SPD · 12-09-2003, 4:20 PM

I wonder just how hard these guys are pushing the bikes. They're on brand new vehicles with brand new rubber. There's gotta be a little bit of fear in them going that fast on something that new.
