I pulled consistant 1.43 60s Fri night , 4.04 330s , and 115mph , and low 6.s ! Can you say SLIIIIICK ! Hookup sucks on a non -hooking , non prepped track ! Last week , was going 5.86 - 5.87 off 1.45s at 1.22 mph , on Sat, night when track was prepped for the 5.80 index cars! Boo- hoo!
I shoulda went to Crandall !

Thanks for the video guys ... I love watching other people go fast ..
Didja see the part about the 1.623 60 ft. at 6 over?
Yes, I've watched your videos many times, and have watched Wheelie both live and on video.
Watching is not translating into doing. I need a 1.4x 60!
Any advise?
Well where to start ?? First off like Wee said more seat time .... With your gearing so different than mine i really hate to tell you what to do ...If you do it my way you may end up on your butt... But here goes ......stage at 5000 , don't let it drop below 5000 waiting for the light .. I have the clutch out before the tree and throttle pinned before the 60 mark .. As you are releasing the clutch make sure to feed it a little throttle to keep the RPMs from dropping below 5000... How do i do it ? lots of seat time that is how .. You have to do it over and over till it becomes automatic , meaning you don't have to think about it ..It has to become muscle memory , and how do you get muscle memory ? That's right seat time ...
One thing for sure you will never get good on a track that has no hook .. Spinning will toss off your game by making you think about how to hook the bike ...Once you get good on a good track you can go to a bad track and adjust your leave to get the bike to hook ..All those skills come with seat time ... Just remember if it was easy everyone would do it ..

That's a pretty radical concept, don't you think? 
I want to do it like in The Matrix - just download the motorcycle race program and I'm good instantly.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
