Opening day at the strip!
After closing the season in late Sept., they opened back up in the dead of winter today. Not that I'm complaining mind you, just kinda goofy. Gigantic car turnout and only six bikes, 3 being ZRX's including me. Ran my usual ten teens and had fun even though they didn't have any eliminations. Great to be back.
On another note, the 1361 is finally screwed back together and hoping to set the motor in tomorrow. Can't wait!

Gainesville opened recently too, for all-day Saturday test-n-tunes. The weather was pretty good yesterday- although still pretty hot (sorry Northerners...) The ZRX is running much better after the winter's work; snappier, stronger, and smoother --I'm lovin' it. With a new tire, I was able to pull off some new bests, and am now a bonafide sonofabitch  My clutch needs a little TLC, then maybe I can break into the 30s, and get past 145.
Looking forward to hearing about the stroker Ken. Do you have a swingarm for it yet?
Dean

Very COOL ken...pun intended...
We just finish our 3rd (and last) saturDAY T&T.
It was the 1st time I ran the Green Machine this year though. I went 9.20 and 9.21...
John made his last licence runs...he ran 9.77 and 9.59! @ 146.72 on his WFO runs...He hasn't even tried to launch "hard" yet  I KNEW this gearing was going to work GOOD for him
I also got to ride a ZRX1100!!!
MY DREAM BIKE (on the street)...
Mods...Muzzy megaphone, zx11 cams, stage-3 jet kit, straped, stock gearing (too tall for sure)...
10.75 @ 128.58 first and only run...is that any good???
ZRXDean ran two 9.40s best of two 144.97...
SO neat to see it wheelie on EVERY RUN when he shifts 2nd
Ken...DETAILS!!!
What compression did you build the 1361 (CCed???), what did you do to the head (un-shroud valves???) what is THAT cam you got (lift/duration)???
It's driving me CRAZY not having the parts to build THIS 1361, the owner has to "pay off" the kit before he gets it to me

Muzzy told me 3 months to get my kit but it showed up in two weeks.
Trap, ran one 9 second pass on the ZRX at sea level, nice temps with a favorable breeze(okay, maybe gale force). Ten teens are the best at my home track.
Don't have clue bout the comp., Kevin. I did do some port work but nothing radical. Mostly in the bowls and a little chamber unshrouding and opened the sides of the chamber up to the new bore size. Didn't put the block shim back in. Without it, I was able to get two clicks out of the factory tensioner. Might have to leave it on for the stealth look even though I got a manual job coming. Forgot to put the balancer back in also. The new cam had roughly .015 more lift. Couldn't tell bout the duration since I couldn't get my indicator straight over the bucket to do accurate measurements. Lobes appear a little sharper. THICK shims were needed with it since they skim cut the base. Lee sells two larger cams. I got the small one along with not so necessary valve springs. Don't think I want to buzz this baby too hard with two bigger cams. Tons of piston to valve clearance. Piston was .015 in the hole.
Arm extensions are on the way along with a new chain and shootout Mickey to go on my spare rim. It's the adjustables that Nick Smith sells.
Great times, Dean. You're still the man.
That's pretty good mph for the Rex, Kevin. THe other two that were at the track the other day were similarly equipped but barely crack 120 although they weigh 50lbs more than you. Mine only goes 131 now that the ring seal is giving it up. Used to do 135 regularly and once 137(with the good breeze). I hope to rering it or start fresh after I get done with the 12.
Motor is in but far from cranking. What a pain to work on!

Thank's Ken...
I did about the same as you to Eric's head when I built his 1270 and the compression ended up being the same as stock since I opened the chamber... I'm going to raise it for him soon...
Your bike should run KILLER the way you set it up...
