Post by: GRU on July 24, 2004, 03:17:00 PM
i went to a track about 2 hours away from me on friday night....got there too late to run enough times to get used to hard launches...got there at 9pm and the track closes at 10

only had 3 runs

i have a video of the 2nd best
http://www.eachosting.com/~gru/GRU/Video/gs_race.wmv

the best time was 14.78@90 mph
the computers at the track were messed up so i don't have a 60ft, 1/8 et or mph :roll:  :roll:
i don't know if its the bike or me....i quessing it's me because i don't have experiance drag racing a motorcycle

i'm gonna put the bike on a dyno to see if it does put 42 or 43 hp with the mods i have

Here are the threads:Race report
