Gearing will help you a bunch. We big guys gotta use physics to our advantage.....
So then your reaction time isn't counted in your 1/4 mile ET? I didn't know that .Reaction time has nothing to do with elasped time,your E.T does not start until the beam is broken,the only thing reaction times is good to practice is when you are actually racing someone.Just practise that reaction time ! I think you got a pretty good time though!

No It only helps to cut a good light when you are actually racing you could cut a .125 light and run a 9.92 then the guy you are running could cut a .005 light and run 10.00 and you would have lost because he actually went through the traps first. Ohh and that was just a base example not realistic LOL dont know the exact equasion (Math was never my subject).So then your reaction time isn't counted in your 1/4 mile ET?

Hello from Colorado. I started running up here at a local drag strip recenlty. We are at about a 6000 ft elevation so the thin air up here slows things down consideralby. I am about 245 suited up. Bike is 02 LE Busa all stock except lowering links and strap. The first card is from Colorado and the other is when I went to the Las Vegas strip. You can see the difference the elevation makes.

1.52 60' = great stuff,congrats !!
since your mph is still 112,i am guessing that your improvements are rider skill (always encouriging) rather then changes made to the bike,but...i am guessing your 330's were off,because there was no gain in mph,the dragstrip a fun but humbleing place
i need to get back to the track,haven't been since june 21

Yeah, it was all in the little end. Our track don't measure 330, so I can't tell ya what happened there, but I'm definitely launching much better.1.52 60' = great stuff,congrats !!

Buddy of mine ran 6.33, 119 mph on my bike last night, but he only weighs 150lbs. His 60 was a little slower than mine, 1.56 I think. For the first time in my life I wish I was not as big as I am........

I went to the track to test tonight, made four passes and went home. I didn't sixty that well, but went a 6.53, all the rest were 6.60 or 6.61.
But get this: One time the Mph was 118! the rest they were around 116. The bike liked the cool air, it would come out great and then wheelie about 3/4 the way through first and then come down in second.......

Dogman and I went to Gleason, TN yesterday for an all bike race. Track was hooking good for me, but that track is rough as hell! The left lane has a dip wher it transitions from concrete to asphalt, about 80 feet out. Right about where my bike was carrying the wheel really good. It slammed me down hard enough on the tank to almost make me cry!
Anyway, I ran several new best passes, with the best overall being this one:
RT .0099
60 1.6671
330 4.3021
594 6.0723
1/8 6.4690
mph 113.41
I ended up redlighting wit 4 bikes left and made my entry and $5 back
