[orangebusa??]

Lesse, Have yet to be to a proper 1/4 mile venue but I can go from Zero to Holy Crap in about two city blocks...  

Yeah yeah, Biggest problem I always had at the strip (CAGE RUNNIN) was nerves, I cannot imagine what it's like on a bike... But put me at the tree, with a crowd of my contemporaries watching... my reaction time shoots to about .504 or so...  Once I settle down I am better, but those same nerves on the Busa... Hmmm, could get ugly...

Damn Rev.......you better start thinkin bout taken up drag racing as a carreer with a .504 being bad...........a .500 light is a perfect light as fst said........Every racer wishes he/she could always cut a light like that.

Some tracks now subtract the last amber to green time from the reaction time so that .000 is perfect. The track by my house (Firebird) does it that way. The track across town (Speedworld) doesn't. I like it better - no need to keep track of what tree they're running (.4 or .5).

I'm guessing Rev meant .5 plus the tree time...

10.3 bone stock first time on the Busa. the bike will move if you make the best of the first 60'. Ride it like you stole it while the cops were watching!

 

[Stallion]

All stock, 10.80's. But got much better after practice and a few mods.

I was over at Famoso Raceway last night. I only managed to get one run in because of the overwhelming line of cars wanting to run. First time on my 2004 Busa down the 1320.

R/T .699
60' 2.015
330 5.231
1/8 7.612
MPH 104.78
1000 9.601
1/4 11.294
MPH 130.34

My problem was wheelying. Hoping to run low 10's next time out. Just have to learn to 60' foot.

I am a novice bike rider. I normally drag race cars. Thought I would try out a bike. The rush is totally outrages. With only 1000 miles of riding experience over a period of 3 months, I bought some leathers and went to the track. First pass ever was a 12.6 @ 131 MPH . It was my best pass all night. Since then I've ran an 11.11 @ 135 with a 2.1 60 FT. Still working on launching the bike. I need a lot of practice. It is a hell of lot harder than it looks! Hope to see mid to low 10's by the end of this year.

It is a hell of lot harder than it looks!

You got that right!

Good luck, and read up on some of Got Busa's posts. Some good general tips for getting quicker that might not be as obvious as some think...

 

[normanracin]

Bone stock off the showroom 39miles 10.02et@139.4. Decent short times though 1.61 60'. 215LBS suited up. Now with some tuning along with some other mods 8.90's 157mph. Oh did I mention no2! The bike is 62in and foot shifted!

3rd time is going to be in the 9's for sure.

 

[Red]

What about on a BONE STOCK Hayabusa and the first time you raced it 1/4 mile?

Your MPH indicates a far from STOCK bike!

9.91 @ 141 MPH.

After some more practice, I'm good for 10.50's with a 1.8 - 1.9 60 ft. Hopefully I'll improve some more.
