That was a close one, it was awesome in person. Lots of 7 second Real Street passes and several 6 second Pro Street passes.

Dobrin on the turbo Busa. He went on to win in the finals as well against David Merks, 7.88 to a 7.93. Those Real Street bikes are flat out flying.

He has won every race this year(2) so far, but that will soon stop, thanks to Chris Jones, and my 2012 ZX14 RST Turbo bike.

I'd be guessing it's gonna be close to what the old RST bikes are putting out maybe a tad more.

Rickey, you are quick to promote stuff on this site, but you are very slow to answer question.?
Even a simple,"I don't want to say" whould be fine. I am just saying.

Dobrin actually says the RST nitrous bikes are faster MPH then his busa, it was his turbo's mid range that won the race.

3 stages of ntrous in 7 seconds... maybe too much to work with at that wheelbase??

I believe they can't run any kind of lockup in real street. It's the best of the best. You've gotta have gorilla hands and forearms to pull in that clutch lever for those power levels.

That is correct.

CLUTCH: Slider clutches and lock‐up clutches of any kind are prohibited. Clutch baskets, slave cylinders, and pressure plates can be switched
between different year motorcycles. Billet clutch baskets and inner hubs are permitted. Modification of clutch to eliminate factory style backtorque
cam assembly is permitted.

This is one of my favorite classes at MiRock because it is a handclutch, short wheelbase and a lot of power. All of these guys are great rdiers.
