correction- my bad, i was trying to say a tenth and tenth and 1/2.... I just caught that...lol

Shit, i would have moved to houston if I could run 7.30's

I'm sure the could be variables such as texas motorplex, where the tree is at the south end of the track, as to dallas raceway, where the tree is at the north end. The wind blows from the south 80% of the time, which may make the first track I listed faster most of the year.

We Kawasaki guys are gonna prove it to ya. Don't be a HATER be a Congratulator !!!! Just watch and see.....

It's all about Air Density, on 11/19/11
Abilene 1718* above sea level , Density Altitude 3497*, Relative Density 90.6% x 200hp = 181.20

Houston 38* above sea level, Density Alitude 1436*, Relative Density 95.73% x 200hp =191.48

A loss of 10hp

My money is on Ricky running 9. teens when Brock swaps out the rear gear to a 40 tooth.
On my bike that made a big difference in Et and MPH .. Think about this , Ricky in Vegas gets the bike in to the teens, what is it going to run at a place like Atco ? It may not run an 8 with 175 Ricky but i bet it runs low low 9s ... Now strap 120 pound JT on the bike and i'll bet 8s ..

Another thing to keep in mind these zx14s don't seem to get all the power till the get 1000 miles or so on them ..

2 to 3 tenths ? NO ... At 0 DA here to 3000 DA it's about a tenth and a half for me .. I think it would be fair to say the bike would pick up a tenth from Vegas to a place like Atco, Sac or Ga .. It could be bit more but i would not bet much more ..

Same conditions, 64*, 15%, 29.90BP @ both tracks, 200hp @ sea level = RA @ Vegas

=92.26 = 184 hp = - 16hp around 1.5 tenths

A 8.90 @ 151 @ Vegas = 8.75 @ 154.50 @ Sea level

RG's 9.25 @ 151 @ Vegas = 9.09 @ 153.99 @ Atco, 33* above sea level, give or take

The bike went
1.55 60ft
4.03 330ft
6.03 122mph yesterday again with the 40 tooth sprocket, but the air was worst at 3100 ft, so the back half numbers fell off to a 3.28(1/8th mile subtracted from 1/4 mile)
9.31 149.83
but the barometric pressure was only 27.99 temp was 70 and humidity was 18.9 which obviously slowed the bike down from 151 to 149
