Just got back form the Track

[07vigorblue]

All i was wanting to get was a 10.5 and I got it I made ten passes ranging from 12.66 and the best being the 10.54. The track wasnt preped and i had a hard time finding groove. There was 4 or 5 runs where i broke traction bad. i ended up droping the rear tire down to 15psi and started using the middle of the lane and that netted me my 10.54. I was really happy. On the down side every run i was bogging real bad out of the hole and i need to figure out whats going on there. So maybe some of you guys can help me out. the first pic is my 10.54 slip and the next pit is me in the burnout box on my 10.54 run and some other pics of the night after that.

not so much on the bike... I wonder about your MPH however.. should be higher... I tripped the lights at 137 and change every pass, yours looks low (rider skill not so important on this number).. does the thing feel like it is running ok?

 

[07vigorblue]

was running perfect all night???

 

[Mr Bogus]

Oh yea, nice job on the RT// a .0XX is great especially that you are pretty new at this..

 

[07vigorblue]

I had a .027 on a run that i went 10.815 and my trap speed on that run was 133

this will sound funny, but make sure you have that throttle pinned all the way open... you would be surprised how many guys make runs at 7/8 throttle and do not realize it... you will see many pros make an exaggerated grip on the starting line (wrist pointed way up).. this is so that they know they are on the stop at WFO..

that 5 mph just does not make a lot of sense between our two bikes when you had like 11 more hp..

MPH wont usually change very much from run to run on most guys.. MPH is pretty much a function of HP and not much else..

your starting line is pretty amazing for a new guy... bet you do not see the green light huh?

Your off to a great startwith some more seat time you'll loose about 4tenths in the 60ft alone, that would put you in the 10.0 range-soon the 9's

I asked Ryan schnitz when he tuned my bike. He said with my weight i should be able to run a 9.8 at max so i will be happy if i break into the 9's hell i was happy with my 10.5 thats all i wanted to run. ON friday though i'm going to be launching alot harder. My highest launch today was around 6K, BUT i'm bogging real bad out of the hole and i cant figure out why.

Do you think my sprocket has something to do with that. I'm up 3 in the rear

your times looks good,need to work on your 60'.i wouldnt worry about your mph to much till you run it more,your back tire was low on air that will scrub mph.your bog might be the slipper clutch chattering on take off.
