CrotchRocket busts off several 9.5's STOCK WHEELBASE stock engine just a pipe... "Dont Be Scared!!!" including a 9.50oohh pass, a new personal best. Congrats Rick!

Jason Miller works one-on-one with each rider noting areas of improvement and helps each rider develop their skills to maximum potential.

This ZX6RR was approaching the 9-second zone by the end of the day.

One of my personal favorite photos of the day, this bike was clean and the rider skilled. I was hoping to see a 9.99, ever so close but not quite there yet.

CrotchRocket hammer down at the blue line equates to 9.5x ET's all day long. Very impressive! Guess old Berg's advice came in handy... not that he couldn't have done it on his own anyway though.

Jason "Miller Time" Miller busts off an 8.3 ET at 60" wheelbase right off the trailer! Yes, that reads EIGHT. THIRTY.

Awesome Pic's Bergie. Thanks for taking the pic's and posting. I wish that would have had a time slip to match!!!
I got your "Busagirl" and "Dragqueen"!!! LOL
CrotchRocket, Vince & Bergie,
We are heading your way again for the May 14th track day. We plan to stay for the 15th and 16th events as well (Probably just the 15th).
Do you guys (and the Mrs.) want to hook up for dinner on Thursday night (May 13th)???

Excellent pics Berg!!!! Two lessons learned...1. Never replace one friction plate with an aftermarket one! 2. Bring spare oil, filter and extra fibers and steels to the track! Berg... Will be going back next month on the 14 & 15th. Hope to have you there for more photos or maybe you can join in on the fun? Would like to go out to dinner with you the wife and Vincent Hill and his wife and any others on the 13th?

Nope... EBC. I know!! Two passes on that clutch pack and its toast because of one friction plate.Thought I had enough factory frictions but end up one short and no one could get to me in time and had bought these fibers last year and decided to give it a try. Glad I didn't put all the EBC's in!
When we got back home, I had to pull the oil pan which was full of debris and check the oil pump screen which was partically(sp)plugged with clutch material and pull the clutch backet to clean. Waiting for the brown truck to show up with more fibers and steels. ARG! After the EBC's, I don't dare try the Barnetts! EBC's and the Barnetts might work for street riding but not at the dragstrip!

Ken, My Dad always said, "Experience is ALWAYS Something you get immediately AFTER you need it"! You are now Experienced! (and so are we!). I would not use Barnett ever (again) from the Old days and they hang together too much for street riding!
Peggy and I are in for Dinner, Bergie?? (Bring the wife and Baby) we all know how hard it is to get a sitter (That you can trust with a Brand New Baby. Even though the sitter may know more than the "NEW" Parents if it is the Grand mom! )

Glad to see you back in here as well Kev. Have not read any post from you in a while.....
I don't know if it is because I do not get on here as much or you have been busy as hell.
You still racing????
