Dyno Shootout in SoCal
LA Calendar Motorcycle Show this weekend in Long Beach @ the Queen Mary. Sat/Sun. Jardine Powerjam features 9 classes. Winners receive huge billet aluminum plaques, red anodized. Extremely cool! $15 entry fee gets you 2 runs & printout. Interview in front of hundreds of people while run is taking place.
See Miguel Duhamel's # 17 Daytona winning works RC51. It's actually in my garage right now and it's stinking it up so good from whatever fuel they're using. Whew! John Noonan from JE Pistons will be there with his Busa that last year won the Turbo class with 351 hp. DJ Model 150, open air, gets hot.
If you're in the area and want to do more than "talk" about how much hp you make, put it on the line in front of the crowd and let's see whacha got!

I'll post the results here on the class winners.
I would agree with you on the Busa readings. It was hot and nasty. Plus the guys running the show last year kept it idling too long and got it real hot. Had to also use a few tie downs to keep the rear wheel from spinning on the drum!

I think what I'd do if'n I was to bring a turbo bike to a dyno shootout is to run it with a 7" slick. That'd hook up good.

A quarter-mile sprint on Mr. Turbo's ZX-11 pumps a lifetime of adrenaline through a rider's body. First gear is practically useless, second no much better and third will flash through 120 mph without ever touching the front tire to tarmac. Punch fourth gear and hang on as the bike slams past 150 mph in a slow weave as the rear tire searches for traction in a headlong dash that would culminate in speeds far above 200 mph if you had enough road and guts.
Strapped to AMI's Dynojet dynamometer, this very machine won the Brute Horsepower Shootout at Bike Week '95 with a head-spinning 459 horsepower.
