sorry it took me so long to post, just found the pair of jeans with the slips. They're so faded I can get a good pic. so i'll do it the old fashined way.

These are the times from my best overall run

60' ... 1.940
330 ... 5.248
1/8 ... 7.935
mph ... 91.08
1000... 10.273
1/4 ... 12.290
mph ... 111.15

my best mph was 92.04---112.47

as the night went on and I got the hang of launching the bike and I got faster the bike got slower. So yeah i'm running a little lean, can anyone guess why???? I know I could've turned the mixture screws, but I didnt bring any tools.

Hey BPRO ... maybe you can come with next time I go, see what you can do on your super modified. I think they give discounts if you show an AARP card!!

what are the 330 and 1000 measurements, time to 330 and 1000 feet? Also what engine speed are you launching at?

yes those measurements are feet.

I'm launching between 4-5k, i was easing out the clutch real smooth though, barley getting the front up.

I did post something in the the Stunt section under power wheelie, about the one time I completly dropped the clutch.

No drag racin for me.. I got reflexes only a snail could admire....

Are your carbs stock? You might consider installing a jet kit or at least shimming the needles.

lol... you only need quick reflexes once, the rest is like running down thw front straight.

everything on the bike is stock ecxept the pipe, and that needs to be repacked bad, so its not much better than stock.

No I didnt space the needles, I thought about it, but decided i'd wait till the next time I ran it. That way it I can have it tunned to peak performance.

NUMBERS DONT LIE. Thats why most road racers hit up the strip before going to the track.
