Whats going on at the tracks

[lecroy]

You need my data logger. I contacted the guys at Eagle and they claim that they are working on it.

Took the 1150 out to the 1/8th mile track here in Walla Walla last weekend.
1st time ever out there. Was running mid 8's all morning during time trials, couldn't get the darn thing to hook up. It would spin all the way thru third gear. Figured I'd be safe dialing an 8.0. Wouldn't you know it , first round of elims the bike hooks up pretty good and I run a 7.7 @ 91.3mph. Anyway I had a blast, now I have an idea what the bike is capable of.
Doze.

Jake don't look now

Jake you may not want to read any further.

Got the clutch working really well. Best pass
1.30 60'
3.82
5.98 @ 113 mph at the 1/8th
7.83
9.53 @ 135 mph 1/4 mile

The other passes were two 6.01 1/8th mile and 9.55 @135 -136 1/4 mile. And finally in the first round of eliminations backed up the five second pass with a another 5.98 1/8 mile and then 9.68 @119. The other guy did a wheelie so I was dumping bad at the finish line.

Things were great till round two when I snapped the throttle open so fast it bogged the motor. The clutch came out before the engine caught up with itself. I always seem to have that trouble when it gets really cold out. It was only about 43 deg in the second round.

I got my eyes closed well maybe just one

Way to Go Ryan !!

I remember when you said you wanted a 9.90 bike, well you busted that goal by a mile. So is 8.90 around the corner??

I think you'll be in the high 60ft 1.20 range very soon.

I think the 1.30 is about all it has. I don't know if I want to go any faster unless they do something with the shutdown. They ground the entire track perfectly smooth, but only went about 100' into the shutdown. It's got some good bumps down there. They might try to do something about it. They are offering some big money in a quick 16 car class. The slowest car in the field was a 9.01. There were at least five 7 second cars/dragsters there. I don't think they were happy with the shutdown.

[RacingJake]

Lets see.... you're up to 1260cc, multi-lockup and only been tuning on it for a few weeks

I bet a coke that you'll be running 1.27 60ft and be in the 5.80 range before July

Those are good numbers. I run 7.7s with my 1100, low 12s high 11s in the 1/4 at 105 - 110 MPH in the 1/4. 205 pound rider. Have fun!!!!

I'm sure I could understant this with a little help.

Spent the last three days playing with the bikes. Had a great time up at Martin. A few of us camped out at the track. Jeff cooked us a couple of turkeys. Met a few new faces.

A lot of bikes made the Sunday show. We ended up with three classes. Pro E/T, Protree E/T and Street E/T. Pro E/T had a quick 8 run off. All three of the drag bikes made it in which kinda sucked, but no one wanted to sand bag during the time trials.

I ran the stock GS1100 in street. I have decided not to quit my day job. Open time trials I first ran a 12.7 with a 340 lite. Bike was heading for the sky. Second run had a 540 bulb and ran a 12.12. First qualify ran the right lane again with a 12.12 with a 6. Second qualify was a 12.09 with a 480 in the left.

Made it past the first round with a 1 second light! Only reason I won was because the guy backed out of the beam or failed to stage. I looked in the mirrors for him and he was no where to be seen, then I noticed my win light was on so I shut it off. Ran a 12.4.

Round two I get stuck in the left. I did a 540 to his 6 something. I look in the mirrors at around a 1000' and he must be 30 - 40 feet back so I blip knowing I have breakout potential. Around he comes and now I can't catch him! #@$^@$&%% I run another 12.3.

Now very ****ed at my inability to drive a bike, team pays my way to next round for fun to see how this will effect my blood pressure. Problem is that I chooped last two passes and the sun is way higher now. I have no idea where it will run. I decided to leave the 1212 stand and hope for the best. Guy dials a 1213. He gets me on the tree by 0.1 or so and holds the nose just in front of me the entire distance. I duck and hope I can push him thru, but I can't The bike runs another 12.3 and I went home with my tail between my legs, this time.

I usually race my pro/et bike but last Wed night I rode out to Portland International Raceway to bracket race my stock 83 GS1100. First time run I cut a .009 light bogged real bad and ran a mid 9, 1/8 mile by the way, second time I ran 7.61@94.55, dialed 7.60 first round went red on the tree by .007 and a big wheelie so I ran the pass out to a 7.54@94.88.
We run on a ladder set by reaction time, split tree .5 full or .4 pro with no electronics allowed and my .009 only got me 6th qualified, man tough bunch of racers. Next week my surgeon should let me back on my dragbike, it has been a month since I had my shoulder operation and can’t wait.

What about the N2O? I would have thought that would have put you well under.

[RacingJake]

Not yet, come this summer i will have it on.

I was thinking of just tapping the nozzles into the lectrons where the rubber hoses clamp on.
