quote: Punch in Noobys numbers
OK lets do that ...Horsepower @ flywheel = 205.36 HP ..... I used the Dragtimes calculator For my numbers and Noobys numbers ... Mine came up with 189 HP ... So Noobys got me by 16 HP .. Where did that come from ? The MR9 fuel is where it came from ....VP claims 8% power gain with MR9 fuel ...So if you believe VP claims Noobys bike picked up 16 HP ... Sounds about right to me .... If my bike makes 189 on pump gas and i added MR9 i would make 205 HP ...

Hey Shane, I used to weigh 195 but started to excercise about 2 years ago.....it can be done. Everyone asks me now if I'm going to die and tells me to go to the doctor. Only people that drag race understand!

How tall are you? I'm around 6' 1".... I was 240, now I'm 200...but I have been as light as 168 (when I was 30..a long 10 years ago).
Even at 168, I would still be around 185 suited. So, it looks like the bike needs to be even lighter next year.

Well I am 6'4 228lbs naked and about 238lb suited I am 27 and dont think I will be losing any weight anytime soon . I spend to much time lifting weights for that to happen . Bike plus me weighs in at 733lbs I got that weight from a AMA event earlier in the year . I was close to yalls weight when I was in middle school ...........lol. Anyways keep up the good work at the track and hopefully we will see each other and line them up someday.

I do 10 min of cardio before I workout just enough to get warmed up . I figure if I want to keep up with the jockys then I will just make more power .

Scott, how much you pick up on the back half can also be affected by how you ride the bike. Look at this example from a very hot day in August:

Not great air, right?
Let's look at this pass:

Terrible ET at 10.36....but a 34 mph back half. When I run a 9.0 my back half is around 26-28 mph.
When you look at the timeslips, you have to look at the whole picture. You can't compare apples and oranges.
Shane
thats interesting. aparently im not riding the bike well enough in the front half. (no shit lol) but im doing not bad for a tuck on the big end. gotta try that lsr deal.....
so if i start getting quicker times next yr and 1/8 is up, but the big end stays about the same ill know my bike is ok....

Well maxspeed(aka stock busa) tried to make a pass last night at gainsville,but before he could even stage, the bike caught fire.Luckly the fire wasn't that big and didn't hurt anything,I really don't want to comment on how this happened,but will tell you that it wasn't the first time it happened.(lol)
