    Seconds, man. How many seconds?

    And if you tell me it's 1/8, not 1/4 mile, well...
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      Ran 1/4 mi at this event. 12.29 at 108 most of a very hot and humid seven round day. Lost third round on Sunday when i redlit.... bike is set-up to run 12's cause i race it in IHRA sportsman car class at home, it has a 12 sec or slower limit.

          "Ain't braggin' if you can back it up"....congrats King!

          Seven rounds is a lot to get through.
          Just for grins, what kind of bike did you beat in your Final?

            Well done
            I've never drag-raced, it must be a buzz.

              Engine is from a '89 gsx750f and is stock with pods and a yosh header that has been on the bike since '84. Raced against a zx14 in the final.

                  Do you ride it as a registered street bike also?

                    Yes, but i don't ride it much on the street, the wing is much more comfy on my old bones...

                      Got mentioned in Cycledrag and Eatmyink sites. But they got the bike wrong even though i listed it as what it is on the entry form. Still nice to have a picture of me on there.

                          Thanks for posting the picture. I don't understand why they didn't talk to me at all.... Could've asked me during the winners circle pictures.
