Is it raining in Maine too?
friday night TT's are a no go next door in NB  .
I did get all of my goodies installed and bench tested for tomorrow though. hopefully they work  going to run a few passes NA to get the fixed clutch hub and lock up back in synch, then im going to try a progressive hit of nitrous basically right out of the hole. 20% start, 3.5 sec build time, tripped by a window switch, over 90% TPS and above 8000 rpm and under 11500 rpm. autoshifter is set at 11000, i may have to set that higher depending on what the logger says. im not sure how much bounce (delay) the relay has. ive only sprayed from second gear on, so im taking some ballast .... should be wheely fun

Scott -hope the weather is better there than it has been here. Today has been the best day in quite a while.
Good luck at the track. How much ballast are you going to run?

good weather today. there was a tail wind for awhile and i ran my first 150mph NA. it was flashing the tach, and starting to lift a bit as i was adding static, so i put all the ballast on and it went a bit better, i think i can get it back in the 9.20s with a couple more passes, only got to make 5 or 6. didnt spray it, yet. im still trying to get used to it lol

didnt have many passes today, and they cancelled the heads up bike class. played with the clutch and got it very close. the 2 step makes the bike a whole new animal! it kept flashing the tach, so i kept upping the static. in big jumps (too big) like 100 thou of shim at a time lol. well after a few of those, it felt good, but was picking the front end up so i had automatically been backing out of the throttle briefly when it did. a friend got a video, and it was only lifting about 6 inches before i backed out of it. i thought it had been going much higher, so next pass i held it WFO....big mistake. i think i tried to shift to second, but im not really sure. I had a 68 in WB bike with about 14 pounds of ballast hanging on the forks pointed damn near vertical. came down really hard, the CF seat and the gas tank have NO give. I run my visor open about an inch, and the windscreen managed to slide right in and smack me on the upper lip and nose. blood all over the tank ect ect. i tried to feather it, but was a couple tenths too late, and did a smaller (2 feet??) wheelie after it hit, after that i shut it off and pulled over. safety was right there, to see if i was ok, i was a little wobbly on my feet im told, but i was fine. took my helmet off and checked the bike. not a thing wrong. my oil pan has about an in of extra ground clearance as the drain plug is moved to the front, and i only strap the front to lower it, no lowering thru the clamps. they got dad to run it the rest of the way down the track and back to our pit, they made my get in the truck and got the bleeding stopped. took a 30 min break to get most of the pain to go away(pretty sore right now tho) and pulled 50 thou of shim, jumped back on and made a pass. felt a lot better, but i backed out when it started to lift again. cooled down for 15, pulled another 25 and made a pass. it started to pick up just a bit and i backed off, it would probly have been fine(maybe carried the front wheel a foot), but i was a little nervous of another monster wheelie, i ran a 9.36 at 149.5 and decided to call it a day. Im thinking the amount of static i have now is very very close to where i want it, im sure it would have been a very low 9 if i had of held it wide open. didnt even bother with nitrous. i dont see how i can spray in first gear even with a progressive controller....
Nox, going to PM you on psycho about the static.... I had a lot of shim in there....maybe enough for a spring change???
