08 track times

[FTMFW]

got to the track for the first time ever on a bike yesterday.....was a blast.

me- very conservative launch, 315lbs plus gear, 6'6" tall. leather jacket,pants,gloves, and gym shoes. i cant get my hooves tucked in fast enough with boots theyre too bulky.

bike-08 orange and black, lowered with 3 hole links to the center hole, front slid through the bar risers (1.25 drop). stock tires, 4-1 yosh system, pc3 with conservative tune.

first run

11.0 @ 131, with a 2.1 60'.
best run (total fluke) 10.51 (ON A 10.50 DIAL IN, PRO TREE ) @ 135, 1.8 60'.

wheel never went in the air. vids to come.

im so excited, i might ditch the car project and go balls deep into the bike.

Hey bro thats no fluke times. I'm 6'3" and with full gear I weigh in at 380 lbs and I usually run 10.40's at 135mph. My best so far is a 10.37@ 136 mph. 1 more thing they let you run with sneakers and not boots over the ankle?

I dont know if most tracks will let you run with sneakers once you break 9's.

 

[BusaWizard]

Usually when you run 9's you have to have your NHRA license.

Most tracks won't let you run sneakers at all ??? Nor should you.

outlawbusa and I ran at Bristol TN this past spring and we were running 9s all day. No license need.

Usually when you run 9's you have to have your NHRA license.

Out here, if you start running 9's on a regular basis, they ask you to make licensing passes... If you don't, they won't let you run... I imagine it's different everywhere you go...
