RI/Ma border is where they run.
Sorry turbo guys

- Start date
There is no way that Busa should have been left in the dust like it was a 250 or something....it might not have been able to pass them but it sure as heck should have been within eye-sight...
I think your NA bike would have better luck than the bike featured in the video.

So to clarify:
I’m not a street racer, this was my first street race ever and It was for shits and giggles. I challenged them and they accepted.
The bike was built by frank and has 11,000 trouble free boosted miles.
With a better rider it probably would’ve been a different story but I did what I could. I don’t ride it full throttle too often.
Run 1: started in 3rd and waited for boost. The race was over before it started.
Run 2: started in 2nd and couldn’t keep the front end down.
Run 3: big miscommunication between me and the guy on the Gsxr, it was my fault.
Run 4: started in 2nd and had a good run, to me this was the only race that counted.
Also the fairings weren’t complete so I was worried about them blowing off the whole time so I stopped around 150, the last race that piece blew off at 170

Well it sounds like he cleared up the confusion two posts above your last comment...
Let’s give the poor guy a break. He’s got a lot in that bike, not to mention what he lost, points off his man card. He should be ready next time, bike and rider, or don’t tell us about it cause he will get
Experience and confidence will come with time.
I don't condone street racing however, I'm sure @GAmedic has had his fair share of scraping them off the road or off the back of a car...so many things are unpredictable on the street to be racing on it.
To the OP @Joshua Dumas -got ya, it took a lot of courage to post a video of you not being the champion and on a site with many years of riding and racing experience.

Let’s see if big old rocket can beat them on his turbo bike....
Im no trying to be a jerk but 11000 miles on the turbo bike and still cant ride it to beat a few na litres? Not to mention a Frank build we know is built right! Come on my busa brother! Have you even gotten the turbo hot enough to burn the shipping oil off it? Cudos for the atttempt!

Lmao. Everyone bashing this guy probably don’t know how fast the new liter bikes are and if set up right they are hard to beat.
Get on to re setting your bike up properly now bro , then get on it and get used to hitting it hard , often .
Once you have gone a way with those last instructions , go find them same fast lads and re run that race .... and show us some results bro , good luck !!

Your dyno chart would be one big hint as far as rpm launch, roll on, and shift points. You can call me to discuss this if you wish. And yes, as RT1340 suggested, now that you've effectively sandbagged these guys, you might want to practice a bit and even take their money the next time you cross paths . . .

Josh... In all fairness i remember u running the bike at the track and left with an Et of 11 seconds? right? Just enjoy and learn the bike..... Josh... are u very young? in ure early 20s im guessing? Be careful out there... don't get dead.... LEARN the bike, leave the hustling to the street urchins.... the moneyline doesn't favor u until u can use the 330hp....... its 100 percent rider...espescially on swb.... let someone else(busakiller) race the bike if u dont believe me..... but don't hurt ureself chasin street cred....
