taking predictions

[fstbusa]

going to the strip tonight. Gonna be about mid 60's-70's. about 70% humidity. running a new shinko

well with the mods listed below throw out some #'s that I might run tonight.

I have have about 15+ yrs motocross experience. I know how to slip the clutch decently. I have never raced a street bike before. Weigh prolly 190 suited.

I have an idea what I want to run but that is probably very optimistic.

11.051 hahah... that way you don't do better than my first drag racing time...

rob t knows his racing....

1st past was a 10.9 at 137mph

best pass of the night was a 10.4 @ 138mph.

I couldn't get my left leg up to the shifter soon enough to shift before I topped out in first.  So about the last 3 passes I launched with my left foot on the peg and that helped....

best 60' was 1.84

leaving with my left foot on the peg I could run 10.4 everytime.  

I'm slightly disappointed, but all I can do is practice.  Launching on the track in WAAAAAY different that on the streeet.

Well until next weekend.....

I heard something about the popo on the way out to the track. Something about low flying aircraft or was that a Hayabusa?

yeah you did.

 

[STUNNAH]

Ya did good...Now work on the 60' and you'll be in the high 9's...

 

[MidnightBusainSD]

So we know what fst did how did Hooken make out?

 

[MET]

Great job.

 

[fstbusa]

I post the actual slip info tonight when I get home from work.

I shoulda been in the 10.2-10.3 range. I had a couple passes with low 1.8 60' times but I hit the limiter in second gear and it dropped my ET to 10.4

 

[hooken203]

I made some of the worst passes that I have made.10.7 best for the night. New Shinko tire and I went back to 40t rear sprocket. Thinking that might help me more on the big end and make it so i didnt need 4th gear at the end. Nope wrong. So 42t is back on the rear and I thought that lowering the front was enough but I need to strap it too. I had a good hook off the line and almost a bog then when the RPMs came up it was wheelie time I tried to ride it through that and it just kept coming up so I was always cutting the throttle to end the wheelie and that really slows you time. Thats my list of excuses and I am sticking to them.fstbusa went faster that I ever gone good work. Nines next time out?

 

[fstbusa]

well I figured out after you left that the bike pulls too hard to get my left foot back on the peg so I started leaving with my left foot on the peg and made 2 consecutive 10.4 passes. One hitting the limiter in second and third. That one shoulda been a 10.2-10.3

I meant to ask you kev since you're running non stock gearing, do you use a yellow box or speedohealer? if so which one? I'm thinking about going to 16T front.

 

[fstbusa]

The last run I hit the limiter twice

. I got a total of 11 runs in 3.5 hrs. Maybe this nextweek I'll go again and try again. I will have my tobin seat and maybe that will help me getting my foot on the peg.

Yellow box from Street and Track Imports. I think the speedohealer is cheaper and probably works just as well I didnt know where to get it from. fstbusa do you know how to get a hold of Spaz? I want to buy a strap from him. I gota get the wheelies under control then I can also run better times. Might ride down there and get it from him Wednesday night if I can get a hold of him.
