Karl, save us a little spot next to you all. If everything goes well, the Bro and I will roll in Sat morning around 8-9am. We will be staying till Sunday this time.
I'll be headed to the Dyno later this week when JC gets back in town to see if the bike will handle a little nos. Might have to go with a 40 shot instead of a 70. I'm getting kind of scarred!!!!

You all take it easy driving. Weather should be good, but a little on the warm side.

Good luck to all of you at the mile. Hopefully the conditions allow you guys a chance to put up some big numbers. I had a lotta fun there this spring but I cant make it this time. I'll be back in march, and ready to break 200.

Good luck you all. Was over at JC's to test the spray, It worked real nice...................but the clutch started to slip. I'll see if Ralph's old stuff might mix and match something up.

I should always keep a spare, but there was just other things on my mind that
I forgot that the spare that I usually have was the one we used on this last build.
Can't remember exactly, but I think it came up to the 290's at around 10k before
the clutch slipped.
Might be time for a lock-up if JC wants to put that 150 shot on instead of the little
70 shot thats on it know.
Just Kidding!!!!!

Great weekend! Glad to see so many fast bikes running over 200mph! Congrats to TFA!Congrats to Ali for being the first ZX-12 at the Texas Mile to run over 200 and the Fastest 1200cc Nos bike out (whipping up on my old record of 195.74). It was great pitting with Team Fat Ass, great bunch of people. JohnnyCheese was just out spectating, But his Dyno sure saw a large number of bikes before they headed to the mile. As for myself, the best I ran was 191 and change with some spray, but the clutch was slipping bad (Banging all over the limiter ). Changed the clutch on Sunday morning (Thank you Karl "Entropy" for the three heavier clutch springs and sprocket), but was still slipping the clutch with the juice. Decided to just run N/A (on C-16, with tall gearing and being 250+ lbs) the rest of the event with very good results, a few back to back 190's and then the clutch started to get tired again dropping to 188 and mid 180's before I decided to pack it up. My Digi Kill was dead as well so it was all foot shifting. I'll have to come back with some stiffer clutch springs shimmed up tight to see what she will realy do in March. If you get a chance Karl post up what we all ran in the front of the thread so those who did not attend can see.
Special thanks to My Family and Brother who allways help so much.
Very special thanks to JohnnyCheese for building such a bullet proof ZX-12 Stroker street Bike.
Around 210-207HP Motor (STD/SAE) and Mid 290HP on the Juice!

WE all had a blast!
Special thanks to Osti, WildBill, MadMike, Christina, lilmike, lilchristian, Ali, & alidog who all drove more than a thousand miles to liven up Camp TeamFatAss.
BTW
My #1 Son Alex who was styling around the pits got inspired by all the race gas fumes to refresh the TeamFatAss logo. I'll have a new batch of TFA T's for the March 08 Texas Mile.
