It's going to be fun just to see what kind of times it will turn. I am guessing in the mid 11's with my last changes.

Strange looking Suzuki
Spent the past few days working on this little Suzuki for this weekends race in St. Louis.

I could not stand to work on a drag bike that was not a Suzuki. So when we made the cover for the lockup....
It is a nice little bike. Needed a lot of TLC. This time out it's got a 350 top end, shaved heads, too large of carborators, expansion pipes, lockup clutch with a welded basket, 7" slick and some major frame work. It's very light and the driver is under 100 lbs. He will be running ProET with it. It's good to see a few kids with an interest in the sport.
If you havn't figured it out, it's a Yamaha RD-250, well, was an RD-250
Have a good weekend.

I was thinking 360 or 380 ram air engine since I thought it was an old school Suzuki. Man was I off
Cool project. Wish you were my neighbor And I am sure your glad I am not!

Mark, I had an old GT when I was younger with the ram air but it was a tripple. Also had an old Kaw 500 tripple. They were the bike in those days.

Neat bike.
What sort of times are you getting?
There's a guy here in UK with a RD400 Yam who runs 9.6sec 1/4's

Hi is that Ric Naylor?
I used to have a 2 stroke a long time ago and I believe Harry Barlow custom made the pipes for him
Cool things 2 strokes but they always need tinkering.

All in all it was a great weekend. A lot of records were set. The head US RD man was there to try and set a new record but the back axle could not take the force. Larry ran a 235 that I was able to go watch. The street bike shootout was a great show and the T/G and S/C classes were running dead on.
That Suzuki plate sure did mess with a lot of people!

Races under the name Jade Racing.
I think that he works (or worked) for Harry Barlow though!

Is the clutch air cooled? I see you have got a lock-up on it.
