Knock a tenth off your 60' time (1.37) and you would have run an 8.62.
With Chad's weight and a 1.37 60', it would have likely run 8.42.

That bike is making alot of power.

Kawa74, my last personal best was 9.01 @ 152 mph.

In regards to the ET and MPH being off, I didn't get a chance to test the bike with the
BST's before I went to MIR. Had I been able to do that I most likely would have had a better
ET. Even after dropping a tooth in the rear after lunch, I was still fighting wheelies off the
line. Consequently I had to leave a little softer than I usually do.

Later...

Two bikes running good MPH, both have installed the BST's ???? I 've been wanitng to see a true back to back comparison,(before & then bolt on,After) but it looks like like those rims are doing it??

if those wheels would guarantee me 13 more mph in the 1/4 they would be on my bike.

Try a smaller sprocket, to start, Wee.

But seriously, I would say that BST rims, MR12 fuel, and -700 or better DA might help your mph quite a bit...

That is awsome! I guess that settles it for me. I'm gettin some BST's for the 12. It will undoubtedly be the lightest 12 on the planet!

Looks like all runs were in the right lane....can we see some slips from the left lane as a comparison?

I've raced at lots of tracks, including my home track, where one lane gives a faster MPH than the other, with the same ET's.

Not saying its not right, just looking for a comparison between the two lanes at the same track.

There was only one lane open that day. Another 12R and 14 were there, running between 148-151 on pump gas (norms for good air on those particular bikes).

How about the 159 mph in -700 air? What do you say to that? Racheal also went 158 on 93 pump, footshifting, on her bike. Her combined weight is 65-70 lbs less than Icarus...but as stated, pump, footshifting, and first time at the track on her bike.

Hell, I bet a lot of you guys have never ran at MIR, which is known to be a very fast track. Not to mention, I bet a lot of you have never seen anywhere near -700 ft DA!

Regardless of all of the theories, it was a great, fast, day out there. Maybe next year some of you guys will make the trip? We have 42 slips from that day...on one bike.

Like I've said before... We see as much as 8 hundredths and 1.5mph difference per 1000 ft of altitude change between our two tracks here, and that's in the 1/8th. for example... a 6.00 at qualcomm here will be a 6.30-6.40 at barona on any given day. It would probably be more, but qualcomm is a shitty track that doesn't hook, so it's really hard to go fast there.

60ft-------1.42
1/8th------5.97

I believe his shift point is right around the 1/8th timers. We were running the same gear, and Racheal saw 39 mph on one 158 pass. On the other hand, on a 157 mph pass she saw 31 mph. I have also had strange 1/8th mph results on my bike, running similar gearing.





Keep in mind, we ran almost back to back with a 12R showing the same 1/8th mph...but he ran 148 mph on the big end.

How about her 39 mph (on about the same big-end mph)? Can't beleive it, right? Check out gearing, tire circumference, and shift points...and look at where the shift on 17/46 gearing takes place. That is what I believe is causing the inconsistent 1/8th mph numbers...as I have also seen.

Notice the 37-39 mph back halfs. We were running the same gear as Icarus. Probably puts the shift point right around the 1/8th timers...which can give strange mph numbers. Don't hate....congratulate

Dear Fat-Ass Idiot,

Do you dispute the big-end #?

Or the 1/8th mph?

Or the explanation of the shift point and 1/8th timers? Don't forget, other bikes were running that day...with expected mph results.

Please elaborate, you glucose-huffing fool. Thanks.

Possible that the front tire may not be tripping the first MPH beam, instead the motor/chassis/fairing/back tire may be tripping it instead.........and then the front tire 'does' trip the finish line beam accurately, which calculates the MPH from the last 2 beams. If this is the case, it will show a higher MPH. Same thing was happening with Pro Stock Motorcycle, and is why they are required to install those discs on their front wheels.

I've had this happen on numerous occasions with my bike, high MPH in one lane all night and normal MPH in the other lane all night, both lanes with the same ET.

I'm just throwing that out there, not saying that's what's happening, not bashing, hating, or anything like that so don't get the wrong idea. But nearly all of those runs' MPH times look like that is what's happening. That is why I would like to see what it would look like in the left lane to see if its the same in that lane too.

We get negative DA condtions all the time in the winter down here, even with tail winds, and our MPH never picks up by that much.

Pat, considering your 152 best...do you think Racheal can run 158 on pump, with BST's, big throttle bodies, and weighing 50 lbs under you, at -700 DA? I have run 152 on my bike in 2500' of air, on MR9, at 220 suited, btw.
