9.53 (Yep it went even faster this week) (Pics)
Had a good weekend of racing with the family.
It started on Friday, we raced the 63split Window Corvette in a stick shift class. Had fun, didn't break anything, didn't win either but, did I mentioned we had fun. We're still getting the car dialed in best so far 8.77 Friday it ran 8.87 falling on its face every pass.
Saturday was the regular points program for all classes. I ran Street Bike only today. Last week I eclipsed a personal best of 9.58 on 87 pump gas and stk pipes. So this week I decided I'll take the air filter out and see what happens.
First pass I forgot to turn the shifter on I was htting the limiter and honking the horn at the same time.
Second pass I hit 2nd gear feathered 3rd and the bike ran a 9.59 I knew it was going to be a good day.
First round dialed in at 9.55, got tree'd by a hondamatic and to run it out the back door and BOOM!!!! 9.53@145 the ticket said I only had a 1.62 60ft, normal short times are 1.58-1.59.
So despite losing the round, I now believe I have to reset my goal with this bike. I am going to shoot for a 9.4's with stk pipes, stk wheelbase, airshifter, 87 pump gas flies out, slammed (not lowered). My weight is 185 in shorts and t-shirt 200lbs suited.
"The Busa site wont give me clearance yet to chime with some of you guys" make sure you let them this bike is no joke.
Now guys I have over 7100miles on my bike with flies out and no map. It does run warm on the streets and highway riding but I mainly race. I am going to stick a safe flies out and stk pipes map in it next week.
BTW my StreetBikesPlus teammate and cousin won the streetbike class tonight (Sat).

DAMN Nelson, you are looking more like smokin' lately with the stock pipes/wheelbase stuff lately. Great outting man and I too think that 9.40's are just a better 60' away.

Not much (just a few things)
I'm in the 3rd hole on the links, down 1inch through the triple tree, strapped as tight as it'll get, and I put a shorter tire on the front to lower it even more.
But more importantly I bought the Red one "the faster".
