Finally 9's

[Irishluck]

Well little back ground I just started running my 08' Busa at the local dragstrip about 2 months ago. Keep in mind Ive never raced a bike most of mi life has been cars out there but I must say the Busa is so much more enjoyable to run. Up until my first track day I have never even launched a bike of the line until my first track day lol (gotta learn sometime). Now the bike I wanted to run a 9 second pass before the winter hit (have sprocket and extention plans) on a stock bike, all Ive done to the bike is a Tsukigi Cannon system and a Shinko tire. Well tonight was my night finally and here is my results.

R/T .001
60' 1.760
330 4.468
1/8 6.585
MPH 116.95
1000' 8.393
1/4 9.929
MPH 146.81


Now I do have a question though. What is you guys trap speeds on your stock Busas because mine seemes to be higher then even some of the streached 08's here locally before tonight my best mph had been 145, but after tonight I was seeing 148 mph with my rear slipping alittle in 3rd and 4th which btw is kinda spooky at thoose speeds lol.

Good job brother

 

[dragonbusa]

yes you are making some big mph on the big end. My best on a genI 9.92/138 get your 60ft down in the 1.50s and you"ll be kicking some a$$

Weight will make some decent changes to MPH. I was around 235 running 138-139mph. With the motor changes I should have a bit more HP than you do and I running 147-148 mph at about 240-245 lbs. I'm down to 217#s now and hope to be under 200 by spring. I should see 150+mph through the traps.

Im running right with you 9.8 and 146mph ... I cant really get on it till just before half track.. just wheelies... Im 235+ suited up.. lowering it helped me... but need to stretch it next... Welcome to the 9's may the 8's be in your future...

Good Job, well done. Outstanding Reaction Time!

 

[wheelspinnin954]

good job on the reaction time...and times on a stock arm.. congrats i got into the 9s when i put my extensions on

Congrats on the 9's Is your track at elevation, or have really bad air? If your 160 lbs your mph should be in the mid 150's. Im 230lbs suited and my 08 usually goes 156mph with a best of 158 in really good air.

First off congrats on your run. My question to you is what else have you done to your bike, because I run better 60ft and 330ft then you did but the best big end time and speed I can get is 10.01@139mph ???

 

[BiggDaddyBusa08]

Nice job bro, thats awesome. Ive had better 60' times(1.707) and my best et was 10.18 @ 137.6 mph. Now to show ya how much a difference weight can make. I dont recall my 330' time but the speed at 1/2 track was 111 mph and I picked up 26+ mph on the top end. I weigh 390 lbs in full gear.
