        Good lord, that girl idles high. Reminds me of P-ported rotaries. Nice, clean, and amazingly quick run.

          Congrats Kris! How much MPH did it run? Either it ran a buttload or you are just easy on the brakes because I have NEVER gotten to use the last turnoff at Bakersfield yet. I only run 145 though with the current motor. Ray.

                      Thanks all, I was racing a ZX-14 and he did a 9.05 @ 143mph my official run was a 8.98 @ 156mph.

                      Ray, I always use the whole track due to the fact I weigh 260 lbs and I am on the binders until they glow ( the safety guys love watching me at night.)

                      My last run on Sun was the best one but not the fastest, from 60 ft mark to the end of the track I was on the wheelie bar and my wheelie bar wheels where starting to smoke. LIFE IS GOOD!

                        Awesome run !

                        You know your fast when your replacing wheelie wheels more than the slick.
