What a day at the drags ....:) !!!!!!!

Runday Sunday at Bradenton Motorsports Park Bradenton, Florida .. 70 Deg temps , low humidity and a light tale wind .. Tommy and i headed down about 9:00 and hooked up with 14nooby on his 09 green zx14 and little man on his bad ass 600 ... I'm not going to tell you 14nooby numbers , i'll let him post his tickets when he gets back home later tonight ..But i will tell you it was very very fast !!!!!!!!! He is one happy camper ...Tommy ran a new best , mid 8.60s on his zx14 with a 40 shot ...Tommy made one motor pass right before we left just to see what it would run on motor only , 9.10 @ 149 < his best so far on motor only ..

I had no clue what my new 09 zx14 would run with the new map i made last week on the dyno .. I was worried that it would run what my 06 zx14 ran in this air with pump gas ..My 06 zx14 in this air with pump gas would be upper 8.80s to mid 8.90s ..If i wanted to go faster on my 06 i would run either MR9 or the old U4 and that would give me low 8.80s and high 8.70s . Well i was blown away with my first pass , my first pass was an easy one because i hadn't been on the bike in 4 to 5 weeks ( I was a little rusty ) I ran a 8.81 @ 154 .. Ok we are one to something here !!! Second pass netted me a 8.76 @ 154 !!! I had 4 more passes in the mid to upper 8.70s ... I broke my old record of 8.77 on my 06 zx14 !! Remember my 09 zx14 was on 87 PUMP GAS and the 06 was on MR9 ...I Had a few passes in the low 5.60s @ 126.79 and the best was 5.60 flat @ 129 in the 1/8 mile... Best MPH of the day was 155.45 ...Just think what my 09 would run on MR9 .. Just wait till see 14Nooby numbers on his 09 zx14 because he was running MR9 ..You will have to see the time ticket to believe it !!

On a side note Tim (The Vmaxguru ) had is modded 09 Vmax there also and Jay ( PeeWee ) Gleason doing the driving .. They weighed Jay just before coming to the track ( 112 pounds !! ) I guess that why they call him PeeWee ... Tim had done some more tunning and other tricks to the bike since the last time at the track where he ran a 9.51 @ 144 .... Jays best today on the Vmax was a killer 9.39 @ 146 .. The bike weight as told to me by Tim was just at 600 pounds, so with Jay on board around 712 pounds ... Tim also install a shorter drag slick to help with the gearing ( lower ) ... It all seemed to work as Tim had planned .. 9.39 makes it the fastest Gen 2 Vmax in the world ..

What a great day at the strip for everyone setting new bests .. Well done guys !!!
We just my have proved the 08 and 09 zx14 is faster than the 06 and 07 zx14 ..Brock felt that the 08 09 zx14 was faster and it looks as he was right ..

Wow, Lee...awesome job out there! I155 on pump...wow.

9.39 is good for the Vmax, but I still have to wonder what is holding it back. Last year, in street trim with a combined bike/rider weight of about 735+ I went 9.32 on my 14 at 63". On pump gas in similar conditions. Again, not to take anything away from the effort...but I think there is more to be found!

Can't wait to see 14nooby #'s as well.

Please post a slip or two when you get a chance!

Really nice, Lee. That is really laying it down on pump gas!

Your dragstrips are open for most of the year down there, aren't they?

Very interesting results, for sure. I had thought that from a mechanical standpoint (cylinder head, cams, compression,etc) that the bikes were just about the same (06-07/08-09. In fact Lee, your bike made the same hp as mine on the DJ200 dyno. I wonder if there is something else going on in the ecu?

Strange, really strange.

He was running low low 9s all day and the trans would not shift to 6 gear ...He was shooting for 8.90s but couldn't get it because of missed shifts ... It's a stock motor 600 with an 80 shot and it flys for sure ..

Could be the ECU and the new Injectors ? There sure seems to be something going on ...Not only my bike but 14Nooby bike also .. As well as Wee's new black Cow going 8s with a big rider .....

I almost don't want to post these slips after reading what Lee hyped them up to be...LOL
Hope I don't let anyone down. Lee, thanks for the help today! Rick the 600 ran a 9.12 @155 he was really having some problems today with his bike.

Those slips are fantastic.

133 on a stock motor? Even with MR9?

But 133 mph stock motor in the 1/8th...well...I mean, it's unheard of.

I'm not trying to sound like a hater or anything. But I mean...I don't know what else to say to that. It's not because I can't equal it (there is no way in hell I can). But, has anyone on the planet??

Again, don't take this the wrong way guys...

I'm with shane these numbers are incredable for both smokin and nooby. I mean big motor 14's and Busa's don't run these numbers. I mean don't get me wrong either I know it's true if it's coming from smoking and nooby but damn! and wee going 8.96 with his with only a 1.43 60ft and weighing what he does. wish I had a chance to ride an 09 but none around here has one.

I'm just saying...the air wasn't on par with what it could be...you know, 50 degree temps (outstanding conditions). In those conditions, that would make for like 134-135 mph in the 1/8th...on a stock motor?

Shane i saw it and i'm at loss also ... i was thinking my 129 was a fluke , but i backed it up with a 128 ....I asked a few people if their MPH was up and most said yes but not much, maybe 1 to 2 MPH better .. Ets were about a 10th better today Vs last weeks 90 deg temps ..
