Good night at the strip
Ran my best times tonight. 10.12 and a 10.11 I made seven passes with my worst a tire spinning 10.37 All where at 140 MPH. Best 60' was a 1.78 I need to practice more!! All in all a good night. Showed my buddy with his new 1000 the back of my 12. I was glad of that. He is a scrawny little guy and ran a 10.40@133 on his bone stock 1000. Nines will be hear shortly!!!!

I plan on it. Supposed to be 69 and sunny. Should be good conditions but the track might be slick from all the rain. We got all of Petes parts ordered. Pretty inexpensive. Hope to have that ready by next week. Wish me luck!!!

I am thinking that you will have your 9 second pass!!!!!!
Let me give you some advice that someone gave to me -
At Launch - Lay all your weight over the tank - help keep the wheel down.
Then work on the position for the rest of the ride - after launch get your butt all the way to the hump and concentrate on getting everything that you can tucked in the bike. I mean - watch your arm and legs. Have your elbows touching the tank and your legs tucked in. Chin almost to the tank. HUG THAT BIKE!! 
I gained almost a 10th and a couple mph because I did not realize the windsail that I was creating until I started paying close attention to my position..... And don't give me any TFA bull....Your not that big!!! LOL
Good Luck buddy!!!
