Since the ’06 is all stock, I had a feeling that it would be better suited to a ¼ track. My first track day with the bike was on an 1/8 though.
Number 2 son had his ’05 Busa, and number 1 son had his ’98 FZR.
I’ve done allot of drag racing over the years, but never on a bike. This was a whole new deal.
My 60’ stank of rotten eggs to the tune of 2.26, 2.04, 2.03
ET was 7.8, 7.34 and 7.32
MPH was 103, 106 and 108
I gotta learn how to launch a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In car numbers, a 108 MPH for a 7.3 ET is a damn good MPH. It indicates the motor is pulling hard on the top end.
Also on a car, you can take your 1/8 time and multiply by 1.57 giving you a real good idea what you will do in the ¼.
Just guessing, but I don’t think that rule applies here because that would work out to an 11.46 for my best run.
I compare the pull of this bike to a Mustang I had that ran 10.3
If I can only get off the line!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!
Had a great time. The track stuck good.
Next time we will run ¼ where I know a stock Busa is better suited.
Maybe I’ll pick-up some much needed launching skilz in the interim.
