Can I ask what modifications were made? Have you seen the modified Boss Hoss that claims 5.61 with a 606ci big block supercharged?

It also has been ported and changed the pistons. The bike runs DAMN good for whats into it, it should ge even better soon. The problem is he racing against Mike Slowe on a Velocity turbo Busa running 8.0's!!

If that's the case, why did he win that race?

Fastestbusaround. I seldom EVER repeat or post anything I can't prove in print. Even though sometimes when I do people stick there head in the sand and refuse to believe it. Lol. Not you I'm sure. But anyway.. Looky below...

http://www.amaprostar.com/results/results2006/valdosta/sstladder.html


These are the valdosta results from a month or so ago. Look down at Rickeys 2nd pass 8.48 @ 178 mph on nitrous... So thats in print for ya.

Christ man its Rickey Gadson on the Superstreet ZX14 where he took the win with its first race.. Just what exactly do you think he is riding?

EDIT Oh if you mean the picture at the top of the results page I dont know. It looks like a Hot Rod Cruiser machine to me. Probably a mis uploaded photo by Prostar.

http://www.amaprostar.com/results/results2006/valdosta/sstq.html


Look at the qualifying order and see what bike it says he is on.

6 62 SST RICKEY GADSON SICKLERVILLE NJ 1400 8.789 168.75

I dont post things that I dont know for a fact.....


He rode a blue ZX14 built and tuned by coby adams and it was blue in color..



In fact that is a picture of him on the #62 SST bike right there. In any case all the proof has been layed out before you.

FastestBusaaround... I was at the Prostar race and Rickey was rideing the Coby Adams 100 shot 14 special...

I also raced Rickey's personal bike on T&T Fri - he ran a 8.99 @ 151 (stock motor but lowered,stretched,pc'ed 14R) to my 9.30 @ 153 on my 1397 Busa (i was nervous and wheelied)...hahaha

Anyways ZXLNT has his info correct - BTW fastestbusa... Have you ever even been to a dragracing event as a spectator OR competitor? I was in Street ET at that event...
