Maxton Report 4/26 & 4/27/03
Rain on Saturday Shine on Sunday! Yancy #8 Busa ran 214 late Saturday and Sunday, Scott Gutherie Ran his Personal Best ever 215 for top speed of the meet! The NASCAR T-Bird spun his tires all of the way to 210.
Yours Truly?? Did not go faster or slower right at 182, but entirely different to get there. I had the extended wheelbase (Boy am I glad I can make it stock length) and just riding a bike that refuses to trun is an experience in itself. I Hate Hate Hate it. Riding a bike like that is not riding a motorcycle! Not enough weight transfer and on a wet track, spinning at 160 is a sure attention getter for me!
I have always said that top speed does not need advanced timing. Everyone tells me how I need more advance, so I put in a map that increases the timing on top and it faught top speed. Add to this 18 / 44 gearing and only head winds and you gave it! Did I mention different fuel Sunoco vs the VP I had last time. I was glad to equal my last visit there!
As they say, "NEXT TIME" Shorter wheelbase (I rather have the wheelie) Manual advancer to make changes the lap tops would not communicate with my PC3r, Take Shorter gearing, and tune the bike to Sunoco!. I am learning waay more than I wanted to! That place may force me to see Mr. Turbo or someone!
My Cousin showed up from Charlotte and I tried to explain some things, but he had to find out for himself. So he walks up to the main tent and stated that he is looking for his cousin and before he could get the name out about 4 people were telling his exactly where Mr. Hill was pitted, what color his van was and what bike number I was ridding! He tried to tell them that Peggy was his cousin, but they would not go for that  More later!

Sounds like the forces were against you, still respectable at 182. I'll see you at the next event. Did you take any photos?

thanks for the report Vincent. Why did you change from VP to Sunoco? Was the 214 mph busa a turbo?

Vincent,
I'm a FIRM believer that anytime a person can spend a week-end running a motorcycle pass after pass at wide open throttle and come home safe....it's a great week-end.
I hate that you didn't meet your goals but at your level of enthusiasm, you're hooked like the rest of us that's had the opportunity to participate.
It looks like the October meet will be our next event, I hope for a good crowd to visit with. Mean while good luck and keep plugging away.
Dan

First, I had no choice but to change! The "Association" made the change and now I must get used to a new fuel or find one that is close. It was Oxygenated 104 and I preferred 90 or 92 Octane which burns much quicker and need less time to do it!
I made 12 runs. The most interesting was a run that a spun the tire mid wat through 1 and second gear and ran 177.43780 first light and 180.79550 at the second light! If I had not lost speed twice in that run, that could have been the best of all the runs.
Yancy's Busa is Turbo with Stock wheel base and special impeller so that it makes very little boost down low and a lot on top (He says it makes 360 HP! This guy is an engineer for Dale Earnhardt so he know his stuff and has access to more. Scotts was also Turbo!
