I need help with my 1/4 mile technique...

[Frank Adams]

i'm 5'7 1/2

139pds..

and ready to turn some times!

anybody that turns a 145mph
on a stock busa with just
a tooth lower should have
nothing to complain about.

that's respectable!...frank

Greetings,
Im about 5'11 - 6' tall,I am about 150 lbs,My Busa is stock, My best time on the bike is 6.856 in the 1/8 at 110 MPH with a reaction time of .173. I just started dragging this monster, and the only thing I can tell you is what I learned from myself.
I would get to the second staging area, and other bikes would burn the back tire, they say to make the tire sticky, but I think its just to show off. I burned my tires the first few times, and I launched at about 4800 - 5000 rpm, and the bike slides sideways. So I pull up to stage I let the other guy burn out, I sit still, and when the light goes green, I hit it, and my bike sticks. Its hard to keep the front down .
Also 1 more tip I guess (Im really dont know much about this stuff) I set my tire psi to 32 psi not the stock 42 psi, grabs much better.I hope some of this helpped.
Peace,
Ranger
