first time racing this season

well FINALLY got to the local 1/8th mile yesterday, bike rand good but I dont understand where my mph's are....

best was a:

1.412 60
3.885 330
5.547 et
5.884 1/8th
119 mph
had a 5.81 but fouled

Im 225 without gear, tracks at high elevation and the bike setup is 6 over, 16 44 gearing, alien head, single stage lock up and an airshifter that works when it wants to haha

she was running consistent 1.40 to 1.42, should be able to break 30s w some more practice but I knwo my bike should be around 121 or so when shes going thru the traps..... any ideas? need to put the track map in as well was running the street map w 90 octane pump gas


I remember reading smokins praise to the fuel system cleaner brocks has, gonna give it a shot along with cleaning out my airfilter, havent checked it in a little while

I think that's about right. I weight between 190-198 unsuited and I mph 120-121. Only thing that looks down is your 330. Maybe holding clutch too long or bogging it?

I think those #'s look pretty darn good. The bike is not very long (compared to some others), and you are a relatively heavy guy. Great job!

Looks good !! Give the injector cleaner a try and install the race map .. The street map is a little lean for racing ..

Looks good to me...can you run a race map on 87 pump fuel? ive been running the street map and was thinking about trying the race map by loading it into my LCD screen and switching to give a try.
