Just a idea, would you guys be interested in maybe Doug a charity event and seeing if it wouldn't cost as much? On our test and tune days you get 10-20 passes. Is it worth another $120? Just a idea.
Shane email me eklipse636@hotmail

That's pretty awesome! 
Just curious, what were your 60 and 330 #'s like? I think the weight is holding me back some, I have 40-50 lbs. more than you to carry.
Not all of my passes were that fast obviously. I did manage 3 passes in the 8.60 range and all had a 1.380 to 1.403 60ft. My fastest pass was not my best 60ft time. My 330 was a 3.665. I really think my stock shock setup I'd hurting me. When I have a great 60 ft I just can't keep the front down. Shane take a look at Madkawboys SWB 1/8 mph. His bike is fast too. He ran 128 mph at SWB. Imagine if he stretched that puppy.

Every time I stretch a bike the mph slows down about 1 to 2 mph I thought it was just the extra weight of the chain coupled with the fact I go from 30 to 34 psi down to 18 psi on the rear to get the same hook stretched. I was surprised at this cause I thought the sooner I could get on the throttle being stretched the faster the mph but it really never panned out for me that way. of course my time improves but my mph never has.

Mine allways has more MPH longer ...Must just be me ... I have gone 152 short but have been as fast as 157 long ...

Holy Shit!!!!!! Lee, please take into consideration that I could have ran faster if my hands actually worked. They were frozen! Great air though but no "slight" tail wind either. Hehe.

I've heard other guys say the same thing but I always seem to fall off a couple. maybe I'm just not riding good enough to take full advantage of the longer wheelbase.

Gearing. Proper gearing for your weight. At least that's my thought.

My 06 went 8.69 on U4 fuel and 10W-40 oil, so I believe Nooby's bike is stock considering his weight, MR9, and 0 weight oil. Theres another 06 down here that runs 8.60's also with a rider the same size as Nooby. Air conditions and track elevation have alot to do with fast times too.

I was going to let him, but I kept getting closer to the 8 that we ran out of time. Nooby's right ab hand freezing. At the trailer where the heater was it wasn't that bad, but in the staging lanes was horrible. The flags around us looked like they were made of concrete. They NEVER went down.
As for the good air, you couldn't tell it. Nooby is the only guy that ran a decent time. The other guys I know out there were running 3-5 mph slower than usual (bc of wind)

Lol, nooby got like 3 lbs of boost from it :P. I know how the frozen hands thing is. On my 5.97 pass I was so cold that I thought about hanging it up early and not making that one last run. It was the first time that I ever wished I had not bought perforated leathers lol. Hey nooby, what do you weigh in shorts? 140?
