Went Racing over the Weekend
Had a chance to do some racing over the weekend. (The air was great)
Bike ran great, I finally replaced my battery, which helped those cold starts.
Spark Plugs are next.
I was very inconsistent this weekend with trying to get dialed in for bracket racing.
I missed time runs. My usual passes are in the mid 9.4's so thats were I dialed
Ran a bunch of wheelstanding 9.5's early in the rounds.
And when I was able to finally keep the front wheel down I ran a best of
9.36@138mph on a 9.49 dial. I tried to slow down hence the 138mph
but I was rolling way too fast.
I think that would of netted a 9.29-9.31 if I kept on pace to run out the back door.
I did take another stab at a good pass to get in the twenties and once the again
front wheel in the air but went a 9.39@149mph
It seems like in my area for me to be able to go consistent 9.2's we have to have great air and cool weather. Or either I gotta start changing some things on the bike.
When i compare the two 9.3's passes they look like this.
#1
60ft - 1.55
330ft - 4.07
1/8th - 6.04 @121mph
1000 - 7.82
1/4mi - 9.36 @138mph
#2
60ft - 1.62
330ft - 4.15
1/8th - 6.12 @121mph
1000 - 7.94
1/4mi - 9.39 @149mph
