I met a guy my first night out and he had an 08, lowered and strapped, removed the factory slip-ons, and think shinko tire; all else was stock so he said. He ran 9.4....dont know the mph.
2008 stock or modded Busa times !!??!!

I ran Ray (Tonto) 1st round. I red-lit and broke out. Bought back in and lost by .004 next round.
I also run SG, and SC with my other bike, so I was pretty busy all day.
Here is a pic of my new heap.
I lost to Tonto in the semi's! I broke out going around him. The closing speed screwed up my judgment. His 106 to my 143 sux to judge. I'll introduce myself at the finals if you are there.

i would have thought it would run crappy with the cans off too but ive read about quite a few people doing it and they seemed to get a better E.T. i know that i went 2 tenths quicker with just slipons due to the weight savings. let us know what you do!!

These are the dyno numbers on my 08 with a Yosh with no muffler no power commander,just the stock closed loop. Check out the Air fuel ratio, spot on. Fear not yanking the boozokas.

Well today could of went a little better. First pass one the bike ever just feeling out the track and the new bike and went 10.0@145. The next pass i tried to launch a little harder and did a nice wheelie. Third pass went 9.70@147, just starting to figure things out a little. Next pass, i was next to go into the burnout box and the tech came up and wanted my nhra lic. which they normally dont care about and i havent got one yet. So my options were to call it a day, or stay out of the 9s. I dialed in at a 10.0 made it three rounds and then broke out the 4th. In the last run i pulled the clutch in at about the 1000ft to 1100ft mark because i had a good lead on the other bike and figured id just coast and still broke out and kicked out with a 9.8@135 just rolling through the end. So i really really need to get my lic. and get back out asap. I love the bike and i really think with some more tweaking and more seat time 9.3s-9.4s will be no problem.

can i ask what your 60 foot was when you ran the 9.7??

1.60 sixty foot on the 9.70 run, i cut a 1.57 on the 9.80 run when i shut down and coasted the last 200-300ft to not break out but still went the 9.80. I have been doing the same thing with my nhra lic., i just havent been able to make it all come toghether so i dont have to worry about this problem.

Good job. I've seen you race and with a few more goodies I'm sure you'll be in the low 9's.
I'm sure you remember me. I met you and your husband at Thrifty White In Jamestown in the parking lot. . I was driving the big white Spee-Dee truck. I told you I had a ZX-14. Your husband was sitting on his ZX-10 talking to me when you came out of the store. Remember?
