We were in hope that temps would be in the 50s tonigh but it has warmed up a bit today.. Looks like we may get high 60s tonight and some more humdity from the east cost... Not what we wanted .........
I don't think we will see 8.60s or even 8.70s ...Maybe low 8.80s ...... But i have been wrong before .....Smokin...

Well it's all over and it sucked BIG TIME!!!!!!! 6 hours and 4 passes , two oil downs and a bunch of car driving morons ... One clean up took and hour and a half !!!! My best runs were 8.87 8.87 8.90 ...........My other run i spun all the way down the track and didn't even stop to get the time ticket ..
I'll let Jesse and Teddy fill you in on their times .....Smokin...

I would not call 8.90s sucking ....Anything in the 8s on a stock motored bike is flying !!!!!! Jesse you know we were the fastest bikes there and that is not a bad thing ...

Guy's look at it this way. You are able to get there and enjoy your bike.
As frusterating as it seamed at the time I am sure you still had fun in the end.
Thanks for the update...

OK Smokin - a few things
1. damn - putting up with cages appears to be the same all over the country....
2. Very Important Warning - from November 1st through April 1st - Thou shall not whine about horrible conditions (such as the weather will be in the 70s) or any other challange down there in the south where you are still riding/racing - while your yankee breathern are looking at snow coming down (as I am ) - else you may have your nuts cut off during bike week as an object lesson - when all of us Yankees trailer our sleds down from the north to enjoy us a week of that UNBELIABLE WEATHER!!!!
3. Can you tell I am jealous - glad you had some time at the track.... I may be down for a wedding in December

2 - 9.81's , 9.76 and 9.73. You guys have nothing to bitch about. I'm not going any faster than I did a year ago running less power. Maybe I should just put the bike back to stock. It was faster then. I can't trust any of the ET's and MPH that the right lane was giving last night. After checking with some older slips from Sunshine I have to say the 60' ET was also wrong. I have to do a 1.52 or better to hit the 1/8 ET's I was getting, NOT the 1.57, 1.59's it was showing. Hell I think every timer up that whole right side is off.
