I would not run at that track. Why do all the cars lose at the 330?
i think the wind blowing stuff from the trees is some
this track has the biggest turnout of all tracks in texas i would say
real lax on tech
it also has a bad location
it also has more shootings and stabbings
stolen property
hit and runs
if its happen i'm sure it happen there ..
so it reputation is enough for me to stay away

1 bad I don't blame ya for not going after watching that video. That must be a shifty trac for all those cars to break loose at the other end.

Believe it or not that track is not slick. It has hosted some of the quickest cars in the country. The fastest bikes in Houston run there regularly. A lot of us dont go there because the grudge scene is real thick and we just like to run without all the drama.

You have obviously the heaviest zx-14 known to man.  If you drop the weight of the exhaust and 3.8 gallons of fuel, your bike should be about 515 wet at the very most. Are you 250 suited? There is no question that the fuel is around 6.5 lbs per gallon, and the exhaust will save you 25-28 lbs. That doesn't include big weight savings like removing the mirrors or a catalyst seat. quote
Shane, subtracting my suited weight of 235 from 765 makes it 530 with mirrors, stock seat, tool kit, nitrous kit, shifter kit, lockup, and very few electronics. So I guess it is really not too far off if all of that adds up close to 15 lbs.

I wonder what mine weighs. It seriously needs to go on a diet, because I'm fairly certain it's a porker.

I'm not going crazy with it. If I can get it to 450 lbs, race ready, I'll be darn happy. 
I've heard that some of the grudge bikes are 400 lbs or less.

Where else would you find the weight to take off?

I have about 10 areas or so that I am going to target. The hard part is that sometimes upgrades can add weight, as you know. I need to shave about 15 lbs to meet my goal.

Nope, not new forks. But I will likely be lowering them more internally....nothing that affects weight though.

I'm curious.. Why would you lower them internally if your going to strap the front and have them compressed all the way?

I have them lowered internally 1.5", strapped all the way down, up .5" in the tubes, and a 60 series front tire.
It is not low enough, and I have to strap them so tight that the front suspension no longer works. I need the bike lower, with the ability for the suspension to still function.

mine is lowered 1" in the trees, and with it strapped down it's got about 1-1.5" of ground clearance at the fairing. if i lowered it internally i would think it would drag.

Bawls I hope you got a Clems pan. Is there anyway to lower the front fender so you can lower it a hair more? My fender bottoms out but I have plenty of clearance under the bike. Maybe take that black plastic piece out that the fender hits....

they strip the wiring harness ..buy aluminum bolts . instead of air they use helium .. crazy what some these guys do.. hell even when we stop to eat ..they only eat big after the race.. even eat exlax 3 days before race .. extreme stuff ..

Yep, when i went ahead and lowered it the rest of the way down i bought a clems pan. My front fender has the nice little exclamation point mark on it from hitting at the track lol.
