Shootin for the 8's tomorrow!
Tomorrow is our first test and tune for the year and the weather is perfect condition. 32 is the low and the high is in the 50's. Gonna try some of this magical mr9 and see how it does. If I can do a 5.75 1/8 again I think that should put me there. Guess we will find out tomorrow...

haha.... well we did get a new computer, but my new job has been working me about 50-60 hours a week. I am slowly making my bike drag worthy..... it's just hard to find motivation when I won't be drag racing for another 3.5 months...

You have a track open in that weather? How are you going to make your tire hook to ice? If you do it your my hero.

Well... It didn't happen. Nooby came up this weekend and brought the wind with him. We had a 15-20 mph headwind. Ran a few 9.0's fastet being a 9.06. I had everything done that I know to do. still ran 148 mph when other comparable 14's with guys my size ran 143. Oh well, maybe next time

I went an 8.64 at 157 mph..... a bit disappointed that Eklipse didn't get his 8!!!!!! I was certainly impressed with my bikes performance with the nutty headwind.

Eklipse how did your 1/8 mile numbers look compared to your 5.75 passes from a couple weeks back. If you don't mind sharing.

Nooby was up here in Valdosta.
My 60 ft times and 1/8 mile were off. I will post time slips tomorrow. Most 60 ft's were avg 1.40 and avg 1/8 was 5.80's. I'm assuming the mr9 helped my back half

So you went those times and speed and still not spraying or have anything done to the motor huh? But one other 14 was going 148 and the rest 143. seems to me even at your weight that needs 220 hp to pull off. not hating just wondering how you ended up with the badest 14 on the planet.
