Rock Falls this Saturday, Sept 11th

[scheides]

Well I wasn't nearly as fast as John but not such an epic build as him either. My mostly stock pump gas X ran some 12.8's@112-113 down to a bunch of 12.5's @ 115 and then 12.4@115.8 and 12.3@116.8. I'm really pretty green when it comes to launching and it shows; but I made great progress today and the car has made great progress since it was at BIR for MAPs proving grounds (ran 13.1-13.3@106mph there).

It's not that fast, but I had a smile on my face all day! Can't wait to see videos; there's some HD footage coming!

Nice Job Scheides! You did break into the 12's and then some, Way to go! Any plans to do it again before the snow flies?

Were you using launch control? Need to get some tips before I try it on mine for the first time. I've had the Evo for a year and have never launched it. That's probably a criminal offense somewhere. lol.

I'm sure your clutch appreciates that though.

well I just got home and had a blast! first time I've ever drag raced a bike. after a few passes working on my 60fts I ended up with an 11.4 at 122mph.

I was happy with that for my first time out and since I didn't have full leathers I just called it after that

Sounds like a good line up for your old car...

Yup I ended up bumping ip the 2step to 7000rpm once I started going around the water box. I'll take you for a spin sometime mike, there's some technique to it but nothing practice can't help :)

haha yeah thats what I was thinking after I ran it lol. that was on a worn out stock tire not too. I want to lower it strap it get some good rubber and get out there and get some more practice and see if we can't squeak into the 10's after a while

Awesome times! Wish I could have made it. I actually like Rock Falls, despite the bad wrap it gets from everyone. I like how the pits are right there next to the strip so you can still watch even when you're in the pits.

Congrats to everyone!!

When are these HQ Vids showing up? I can't wait!
