5 wins, 3 runner ups
Well I have not gave a race update in awhile so I'm now up to 5 wins this season and have 3 runner ups to go with it. so pretty good year going so far. 173 passes and 3100 miles and still orig. rear tire and clutch. have not done anything but oil changes. also switched to an on board air compressor and got rid of the c02 and it's the best thing I've done in awhile. have to run the compressor for about 5 seconds after ever pass and I'm ready to go again. my wins and runner ups are between 9.50,10.50,10.90 and street et classes.

It dosent make it easy when you are running multiple classes at a time, especially when you have to change shift points to slow down.

When you run street et AND ultra street (6.0 1/8 mile) you hav to dosomething to slow down! Especially if the classes are back to back.
1bad, you probably don't understand because your fat ass can only afford to run one class

A good bracket racer never paces the other guy. I change my shift points and my 60fts and I run my own race. in the 9.50 class I 60ft 1.50's and shift at 10,000 and in the 10.50 class I have 1.72 60fts and shift at 7000 plus or minus depending on the weather. I only pay attention to the other guy the last 200 ft of the track

when you 60ft in the 1.3x's and your competitor does 1.5x's you are already .2 ahead. Are you going to let out of the gas and wait for him to catch up? Then he has momentum to keep going by you. I'm a rookie compared to you...

1bad if your racing off the other guy your doing it wrong. I have a guy here who's tried to do that to me 3 races in a row and he's lost every time. this weekend he did not even enter the index class becuase he can't figure out how to slow his bike down from 10.18 to 10.90 and I slow down from 9.20's to 10.90 lol

we have bracket racing here too on an 1/8th mile, no index run whatcha brung kinda deal, if ur faste the other guy gets a head start, slider, 2 step and an autoshift would rule the competition lol, be an easy 200 bucks every weekend and a nice trophy at the end of the year, ppl race nething from sleds to buells w wheelie bars. seems like you are waiting forever when the guy next to u runs 8.70s and u are numbered in at a 5.9

bentley i run from 9.0's to 15.0's we got some ninja 250's and hondamatics racing steet et
maybe i'm doing it wrong .. but it sure is fun messing up the other guy. i'll get them were they don't know who's breaking out . street ET i run 13.00 harley's .. i'll throw a 12.75 dail and let the games begin ..
lot easier to judge when you run a 13.0 car or bike with a 12.75 dail then a 9.0 dail in street et . but don't forget the car bagging too its really a call on whom is gonna take the line then .. and i change my dail-in by round and what i'm racing
thats also why i race a turbo bike with short gearing .. in most cases your not going to out pull me on the track ..i'll stick a wheel on you and run and whom ever judges better wins ..in index racing ..
and i never enter an index that i can't bag a few tenths on .. if it spins or mis-shift i can still run close to the number ... Some guys will enter an index and can't cover it.. DUCKS

You know what I would do against you ???
Being that you always pace and dial according to your opponent, I would dial a 9.65 but actaually set myself up to run a 9.50 & since ur pacing me just ahead, just before the stripe ill grab the brakes... 
sorry guy, you loose due to breakin out
