Lol everyone thought he was spraying when he had the bottle on the bike for the air shifter.

^ lol, awe. Good looking out on the free shit though, I am a cheap bastard.

Was pretty determined to get back on the track and do better with a working air shifter. After my first pass and spinning really hard I think I got a little gun shy and was cutting pretty bad 1.6 60' times. I was able to get one or two into the 1.5's again and figured I'd go for broke and try to turn down my kill time a bit. Turn down for 9.0s?!?

Ended up turning the kill time down too much and it didn't have enough kill time to make the 1-2 shift. Pretty much wrecked most of the decent launches I had trying to get it dialed back in.

I was able to beat my personal best by .004 and the trap speeds were in the 149's all day long on a full pass where I didn't screw something up.

My best 60' time was on the best 1/4 time and on that run the bike carried the front tire through all of first. I kind of wish I could go lower to help combat the wheelie but unless I buy/make a front fender lowering bracket the front can't go any lower and the adjustable link in the back is about maxed out too.

Kind of want to go out to either the midway shoot out in Cedar Falls or go up to Fargo on Oct 4 with some race gas in it, maybe drop a lb or two and go for broke. If I could 60' a 1.49 and had 8-10 more hp from race gas I think it has a 8.99 in it. Whoooooooooooo knows

Put a Pirelli MT 75 90/80/17 tire on the front this weekend. Helped lower the bike a bit, just have to watch for pot holes a bit more.

A comparison of the new tire vs a regular tire I had laying around

Had to install some DME fender lower brackets since without lowering the fender the gap between the tire and the fender was a 2.5 finger gap and just looked silly. Looks pretty stock if you didn't know any better I think.

Bike got a few races in this weekend.

Busa was running a pretty decent sized shot. I think if he didn't get a tiny jump both times I think the bike would have possibly pulled a bit instead of catching back up. Either way it was a good race besides me screwing up the second one lol



Picked up some mr12. Going to dump some of that in on Friday and try and let the autotune do its things Friday then its off to rock falls on Saturday to try/hope for another personal best.

Got my ghetto mini compressor to not leak last night as well. So even though it's not in the tail I'll be able to fill my air tank up to 130psi vs the 95/100psi I could get from the track compressor. Hopeful that with the extra pressure that I can reduce kill time a bit and should maybe/possibly/hopefully help with getting just that tiny bit faster et/mph

Good stuff, racing with that much traffic right next to you seems like a bad idea.

Nice Upgrades. I'm planning on being at Rockfalls on Saturday also. Hopefully I can witness a 8.99. I have a portable air compressor you could try if yours doesn't work. Do you have to refill after each pass?

Probably not the smartest, people must have missed the road closed sign.:wink:

When you heading out there? Looking at other time slips today I don't think it really has enough to run the 8.99 but always good to set goals.

I think I might go buy another one in a little bit just in case the ghetto rigged one I have fails but thanks for the offer!! Yep, until I figure out how to mount the compressor on my bike some how or figure out what was going on with my nitrous setup I have to fill it after each run.

[turbotalon1g]

Very nice.
Good luck at RFR.

[carltalon]

I'm planning on being there right away when they open, or soon after. I just watched the video. That thing is badass.
