Friday the 13th

[RacingJake]

Went to the track tonight for a little test and tune. Was running a 44T rear and made 2 runs, ran a 6.85 and a 6.78. Then I lined up in the quick 16 lanes and ran a 6.69. That was quick enough to be in the field so I pay my extra 13 bucks to race then it starts to rain and the track is closed.

During one of the qualifing runs I ran with a dragster and he ran 5.35 at 130mph, 60ft was 1.29 and 330 was 3.49. That was really cool, maybe one day my old gal can run like that.

So I get my refund, 13 bucks, packed up in the rain and head home. Could of had a chance to win $300 for the winner or $100 for 2nd place. There was alot of dragsters, one running in the high 4's and the rest in the 5's and a few doors slammers. I was going to dial in at 6.70 and give them hotrods a run for the money. I was the only bike in the field and it's a No E quick 16 and you have to dial in at one tenth of your qualifing time during eliminations so I would of had a chance. Can you tell I'm alittle pissed, Oh well there's always next week.

Only got 4 runs in tonight so I really can't tell if I like the 44T rear. I think the 46T rear might be alittle quicker but I'll try the 44T again and then I should know for sure.

Jake, What's a "No E" quick 16?

 

[RacingJake]

Thats a non electronics class here, no crossover box, no rpm activated shifting or transbrake, etc. You can only use your hands or feet to launch.

The quick 16 is the fastest racers after 2 quailfing runs. They get to bracket race for $300 1st and $100 2nd. You have to dial in at .10 of your best run to race, no sand bagging here.
