Maxton May 2011
I had a great time this weekend....chilled out with Rich and Roy.
Rode Roy's ZX-15 to 218.3 mph. Definately more in it but we had to adapt and ride around some electrical problems.
Rode Rich's ZX-14 to 199.3 mph. Maybe a teeny more in it, not sure if I was on the soft limiter but I felt like I was at redline for the last 1/10 mile, wasn't picking up any more RPMs. Maybe a gearing change???
All in all, very fun. I regret not bringing my 12 and 250 but neither were really ready. Tons of runs for everyone for sure. Not too hot....crosswinds sometimes blew me around at the big end. I'd trade away a tail/crosswind for no winds, but thats just me.
As requested, pics:
Roy on Rich's bike....STUNNA!!!!
Greg on the 10 running high 190s to low 200s all weekend.
Rich and Roy's 14s:
Jarle on the record breaking, fastest 250cc 4 stroke...topping 131 mph on the juice!!!!
Rich asking Roy....."Hey, can I borrow an 18 tooth?" Roy replies...."Sorry, I only have a 19 and its on the bike."
Eric on the 250, going 114 on a naked Ninja 250....on the juice!
250 and ZX-15
Eric's Tuck:
Roy on the starting line getting ready to run.....hey its a tailwind:
Sorry, God rides a Suzuki .... back to the crosswinds for you.
Eric about to spray the house down on the 250:
Rich about to make his first pass of the day on Saturday:
Roy pulling logs, analyzing data .... and other duties best left to those with 4 eyes.
OWEIUR*&DSHFSD? Yeah so (*&DFHOSDHF)_J!FNDS. Got it.
Last runs on Sunday .... threw on Roy's cut tank to see if Rich could break his presonal best of 197.
Really doesn't look that bad:
And a horrible "Rich vs Roy" pic from what had to be the very first digital camera ever produced.....ever.
Good times.....I'll post up video soon, just got some sleep (hey, what a concept!)
Very special thanks to the guy on the Busa who gave Roy and I the nitrous on Saturday....who knew we'd be putting 10 lbs of spray through the stroker in 9 hours!!!! We never counted on getting that many runs in.
There was a turbo 1000 sitting at the back of the staging lanes on a tire warmer....just waiting for the right time to strike....and it did....clocking a 239 mph pass by the end of the day out of NOWHERE!!!
Hope to make it out there in June for some fun runs.

Thanks man. Ask Roy how many times I'd come back and say ... ok THIS time will be it....it was pulling like a beast here but (blah blah blah) so if we do (blah blah blah) it'll go over 220 for sure.
More than one run had the thrust for over 220, I could feel it compared to the "calmer" 216-218 passes. If anything shutdown is getting more fun cornering at 200 mph :-)
