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 (Probably at least 4-5 over 200mph and a good 10 more of us). 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.

Great seeing everyone, Karl, JC, Buddy and friend Matt, Mike and family, Ryan and Dad, Chris, Ali, even those people no one knew, all of TFA and the Bikeland Crew! You guys sure are some classy people! Glad you all let my bro and i pit with you.

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!

I had a blast guys....glad to be the 1st 12 to bust 200....

My prediction is MM is next....UNLESS Karl gets that shifter fixed. I'm sure he lost 3-4 mph EASILY on a few shifting issues...hey, I'm no pro at footshifting either, just ask around!

Trnorburn, less is more man! You're nuts w/that much spray and stroke, but I'm glad it was only the clutch that went out. I would suggest getting a lock-up and spraying small 1st in March, then bump it up 10-15 hp per pass on nos till you get 200. Its there for the taking!

Karl even offered me a pass on his monster 12 but I was so focused on trying to get 200 1st on my bike i passed it up. Considering what it ran with his weight and the shifts, I think it was definately possible for it to run that with me on it. Facking hillclimbers!

There was a kid on a zx12 that did 185....got bored and ended up wheelying down the mile twice....trapped 109!
