Pro Bike Winner at SRT !!

saturday I got loaded up by a snowmobile, I was sleeping at the tree

BUT

Yesterday I won over Josh Bixler in the finals 14:45 / 9:08 sitting 5 seconds waiting to launch takes concentration , But we did it in hi fashion. I came up on him with over 60 MPH advantage at the 1000' mark. Caught him and dumped power just before the MPH cone.. I love it when the little yellow light comes on (win light)


There needs to be more bikes at the SRT bracket series! I just found out yesterday the top 5 points places pay a FREE pass for the whole next year!

I wish I could of been there... Had to replace the front brakes on the Harley, tow a boat trailer to work,go for a boat ride on the Chain, and take my boat for a cruise on Bangs lake. I am hoping to go this Wed. or Thursday. Sounds like you have that motor right where you want it...

not this thursday but next and every other thursday is a bike and slick open all run bracket race for thursday points and winner of that gets a free pass for next year too.

box,slick anything - everything is legal

all weekend I was in a 0.030 window

9:08 ~ 9:11 every clean pass. Working on reaction time. I feel naked without my delay box.

The gang has decided to go Tomorrow... I hope to get my toes off the ground... See you next thursday maybe...

For all the local guys, Trip and myself are going to Great Lakes Dragaway on Sunday the 15th. Its gonna be hot and sticky. They are also having Import Wars the same day so there will be a lot aof screaming 4 bangers running 12,000 rpm... If you are at the track, come by and say Hi...
Curt
P.S.
Trips bike is a yellow 10 inch slick eating monster. mine is a dark red ES

[trippivot]

red truck and black enclosed trailer

it's only a 9 incher -- 90's prostock size that is hard to find

I think my odeyssey battery went south after 7 duty cycles.. but we'll have back up batteries for testing electronics / jetting/ gearing - again.


I made it into National Dragster for my win on 5-26-11 ! I love to see my name in print

maybe we should start a "WINNING!" thread

[bellucci]

Went to the track and met Trippivot. I ran 10.59,10.59,10.66 with 92 degrees and 95 humidity... Trip ran 9.24,9.22 at 144 mph... I am done going slow. Time to test compression and check valve springs... And find the pesky oil leak...

Looking Good Curt!! Your 2 exact passes were only 2 or 3 one-thousandths different at all timing stages. !WOW! double !WOW!

AND you have stock controls in stock positions. Throwing a lever and foot shifting!?! Great Job.


I completly forgot about my video camera - dealing with electrical problems on the bike. Can you believe a 3 Y.O. YB14LA2 cured everything that was malfunctioning? That ODYSSEY Battery was a waste of money and time - JUNK after 7 duty cycles.. It dives to 10.5 D.C.V. during the 3rd gear burnout , and at redline shift points. The pimple face kid at batteries plus assures me it is perfect and store policy prevents him from taking any action to exchange/refund/ help - worthless 2 year warranty - never again

I'll be ordering a orange metal jacket unit from F.B.G. like I should have from the beginning.

c-ya in the lanes.

[bellucci]

Thanks Trip... I think its time for more power! I will be talking to you about a comp. test and leakdown. One last thing, you need to buy a dyno so we can tune this dog up right... Thanks and how did you find that picture? I went to the website, but could not find it...

Are you Great Lakes Dragaway guys going to race at Saturday's Fun Fest ?
Don't know if I can make it at this point, I have several conflicts but I would love to see some video of it like the stuff earlier in this thread.
Hopefully I'll make it up there some on weeknights after Labor Day. I hope I get the chance to see you then.

[trippivot]

I've got a feeling it is going to be a great day. Larry's fun fest is a great atmosphere. $20 bucks to watch

I have a couple things to fix before I race again - slider clutch has some centrifugal wear. the 6 mm studs have bent outwards from the center. I'm upgrading to 8mm and need to clearance the cover and inner hub.

I'll be at SRT points 8- 27/28-11

might be there Thursday 8-25-11

if you are there I'll let you operate my video camera, 1 more person would be a blessing. My 1 pit helper and I are 100% busy with the bike and we don't run video as much as we would like to.

[bellucci]

I am hoping to be ready for the 25th also... I have starter clutch issues again... I am really thinking about welding it solid to the flywheel... I have used all the right bolts, have the starter switch rewired, and I am still breaking all three bolts... I might have to buy a new starter clutch.
