You won, so it's all good.  What's in the engine?

We never rode our bike 'cause we are too large.
Had a a couple guys that rode for us.
One of 'em still races a Pro-Mod NOS(?) Kasawaki. Dave Vantine.
Has John Ganey(PCW Racing, that built Tony Mattioli's chassis, Gary Stroud's and ours as well) set his stuff up.
4.12 in the 1/8 if I remember correctly. :smile:

got a little better went three rounds then broke out. was running without my shift light working. :banghead:
went 7.19 7.16 7.13 7.10 breakout.
reaction time isnt anything special but the 60 ft keeps coming down. still got more launch RPMS and can bump the shift point now that the shift light works.
3 sec 1/8 thats a hand full.

Keep kicking the launch rpm up, until a spotter, can witness about 1 full tire rotation.
A video of the launch, to view later, will help with that. :up:

Yep. :up:
Paint the stripe on that tire about 3" wide, so it is very easily seen.
