Whats going on at the tracks

That's too cheap I should of bid on it too. You know the last minute bid that sends it out of this world.

If you asked a million question about an item they still say I don't know or sold as is ???

Hope it's a keeper

Went to a car show today. Took the turbo bike with me, but I was too late to show it. They had a few custom bikes but mostly Harley's. Mine was the only drag bike there.

Ok, I got the crank for $200. Now will it be usable or another eBay dud?

I've been wanting to limit my burnout rpm's so I finally installed a switch in parallel with my clutch lever switch. All I got to do now is flip it close and it's on the low side of the 2 step (MC2) for a burnout. Right now it's a 7K chip when I launch.

I have no idea where the stock Busas run. 10.44 would seem good to me. Local guy with longer swingarm (no bars), auto and slider and slick runs mid 9's.

Are you trying to wear that poor street tire out before you put the new one on?

It's a street tire. The oem tire still. I have a shinko street tire to put on it, but just haven't done it yet. The red light was a result of me sucking. The camera sits on the tank so I couldn't lay down on the tank like I usually do. I walked it out easy. Don't tell anyone, but that was a 10.44 @137. He wet red because he was ready to go home. he only took his dragbike out to test and only ran the first round to get one omore pass before leaving. he told the other guy what he was going to do and not to leave till he saw green.

Are you running a street tire or a slick now on the Busa? Camera makes you guys nervious (double red)?

Took the streetbike to the track last night. Spinning all over the place. I did mount a camera to the tank. And then we tried it on a friends dragbike.

Easy pass on the Hayabusa

Friends zx-11 dragbike running in the 9.50's shot at night.

That knife cut Falicon looks real good!!!

My problem is that I think about it too much then someone else does the buy it now. I was thinking real hard about the new Rajay that was out there for a little over $400. I kept thinking, parts. But do I really need them, then it was gone.

Hear the weather is supposed to be nice Wednesday. I may finally get the turbo bike to the track for the first time this year.

Have you looked on stripbike.com, I saw a few lastweek.

We struck out.

While I remembered to bring the camera, I had a tape cleaner in it. So, no video.

Damm, that crank went cheap on eBay. Wonder if it was in good shape. I may have to take the newer stock one.

Great job on another event win !! Looks like the points leader has his game face on.

Last Thursday I made a few run with 46lb springs and my best 60 was in the 1.50's. So in went the oem 57lb springs and it was back down to 1.35. Did have a problem with the bike on the 2 step as it didn't stay on the 7K or 6K chip. Sounded like the bike wanted to die but once off the 2 step it ran fine down the track???

On Thursdays it's street night and there is no track prep and I could tell as my slick felt like it was trying to spin close to the finishline. You know the feeling like a horse that's trying to buck you off.

Lucked out and got another win. Makes 2 of 3 races so far. They ran it 8th mile due to water coming up out of the track at the finish line. We've been getting over a week of almost straight rain. Ran a couple 5.99's. Got the 60' down to 1.29. They ran a stick shift race in conjunction with the regular race. I'll try to post up some new video. Actually remembered to bring the camera.

This is one of the car guys I race with. I installed his box for him this winter. http://media.putfile.com/shake-rattle-and-roll

Yes it was at Thompson. I wish I had my camers to get a pic of the bike. Not damaged that bad.

I added another couple pounds static and just a tad more lockup. It's working good, but could be better.

They took his pinkie at the second nuckle. I guess the handlebar smashed it into the ground when the bike went over.

When Greg fell off last summer he has a similar problem. When they took the glove off they found he had a pressure cut on one finger that required a few stitches. There was no damage to the glove in this area. They think it was from hitting the asphalt so hard.

Glad to hear this was all that happened to your friend. Was this at Thompson?

Thats to bad, I guess it could of been alot worst. At least he can say he has something incommon with Ken Schrader.

If I had to loose a body part that be the one or maybe the little toe.

Back to your clutch slipping when it get hot. Maybe you need to go up more on the static pressure.
