[Mr Brown]

Seems like a good way for all us 1/4 Junkies to keep track/help each other out....
Me: 280lbs geared up.
Bike: 00 strapped, bottom hole, 6 over, 16/44, Yosh RS3 full.
Location: St Louis, 95 degree day, ridiculously humid.
R/T .358
60' 1.666
330' 4.334
1/8 6.594
1/8MPH 108.46
1000' 8.569
1/4 10.256
1/4MPH 133.04

Not bad for a big guy,what gear and rpm are at going through the traps with that gearing? I have a friend that is close to the same set-up as you I beleive he is at 16-42 though and was running around the same times.

 

[Lucky34]

That's pretty good for someone your size. I'm 195 lbs, and run similar times (although I'm running 100% stock... not even a full system).

Did you notice the difference between the MPH there and Benton??

Yeah, Benton is a little more optimistic.....

I ran thru the traps at the top (11,000 on the tach) of 4th.

Thanks for posting your results. The 133 trap speed makes me feel better about my weak bike. You might want to figure the DA for when your were running. It sounds as if it was really poor. And, I bet you are exhausted if you were wearing leathers for any length of time in those conditions.
I'd kill for your 60' time and or any 10 sec run, let alone a low 10 sec run.

Well, Brown has seen mine, but for something to do, here is mine.  The bike is completely stock except for 16/42, lowered to the middle hole in rear, strapped front, and an airshifter.  I weigh 250 nekkid, about 260-270 in gear.  

I wasn't getting very good 60's, and the ones I did get that were great, I managed to let off to keep from getting booted

Here are my two best

RT      .081         .017
60'     1.745      1.700
330    4.457      4.382
1/8     6.694      6.627
mph   110.08     109.35
1000  8.643       8.591
1/4    10.301      10.272
mph   135.37       131.60

I find it odd that the fastest ET had a slower mph.  The headwind maybe?

I think I am due for another clutch already.  The handle has about one inch of throw before it is all the way out.  It grabs hard and does not slip, but is hard to launch.

It's your 60' that lowered the time...

Man your doing good...Best I could get a couple of weeks ago was a 6.5 something in the 1/8th...But I found a problem in the shop getting taken care of as I type...

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

I know my 60 was better, (still sucked, though) hence the et improvement, but I figured MPH would go up too......:blush:

You got there quicker...Quickness doesn't always equate well with overall speed...

Reaction time has nothing to do with elasped time,your E.T does not start until the beam is broken,the only thing reaction times is good to practice is when you are actually racing someone.

You guy are making me feel better. I'm 230 suited and was concerned about my ETs amd MPH. Expected 9.80s at 140+ but ran 10.1s
BDE, PCIII, Small air box mod, shinko, lowered 2.5", stock WB.
1500ft corrected. My best 60 is a 1.67

60- 1.767
330- 4.402
660- 6.584 @ 113.16
1000- 8.484
1/4 - 10.100 @ 139.55

 

[Mr Brown]

I ran a 6.58 last Friday, 1.58 60'
MPH is still sh!t though, looking forward to tonight, maybe I've figured something out......
