8sec on motor?

I think after a while and data logging you discover that whatever gearing and bike weight that allows you to pin 1st gear early on without wheelies until shiftpoint,that also allows you to reach peak rpm or a little beyond over the line in fourth gear is th best set up for your bike and bodyweight.I,m trialing a brock brick with correspondingly less fuel in the tank to put more weight on the front wheel with the same overall bike weight.Does it work?Best et and 60ft first night out after riding a stock height bike the week before.Even with stock gearing and quite low she still lifts at the top of first gear.Now the fine tuning starts.Seriously i would love to see all busa drag racers doing good numbers.If you set the bike up early on correctly and then just fine tune and practice, your learning curve can be alot shorter then the longer road i took.The practice part is the main ingredient though,without it, your benchracing.

You are spot on Bill, its hard to believe having to short shift when it feels like it still has heaps to go, I also took the long road, when you find out where the peak power is the times will drop.

[Gnarbunkle99]

Times also drop when lining up a copper bike, has something to do with fear of suffering the embarresment of being ass raped!

[spamanglenn]

or beaten by a copper pig.Maybe you should have a blue siren too rob.I might do a 9.5 then.

[Gnarbunkle99]

I have a question for you Glenn - what class is stated in your bikes' ANDRA log book?

[simmo]

Yeah yeah show me someone faster that me in street bike class A at wsid,
Well there is Terry Z12 but his days will me numbered, next time we meet I hope

[spamanglenn]

AA/MB is the class that is stated.

[abusa]

AA/MB, thts for bikes with Power Adders, Turbo Nitrous!

[Legend]

Good one Glenn, stepping up to take on Quicksilver in modbike with your AAMB class.

No point in mucking around I guess.

Leonard.

...so the question then is, why are you not in "street bike class A"?

[Gnarbunkle99]

His swingarm, brakes, shockies, to name a few are not OEM, so bike cannot be in streetbike class, thems the rules. Simmo is and I will also be in streetbike, no bragging rights for an MB to beat an SB.

[spamanglenn]

Well you all better look out then. f****d if i know why i am in this class as long as dee leaves me alone and i can go faster than simmo down to high eights i guess thats alright.How fast can i go before i get kicked out of street meets?Maybe im too quick for street bikes pan.

...so the question then is, why are you not in "street bike class A"?

Thats for Comp gr2 A/sb has an index of about 8.9 something I think


So when you line up to the guy next to you that is what you have to run or as near as you can. it is based around the Australian record for the class.

There are no dial in's and there has to be a Comp bracket on offer for

you to compete in like the Winter Nat's, Sun State Nat's...

have a good read of the rule book a few times see if you get it

Yeh, maybe that's it! Or maybe it's just apples with apples!

Good luck racing Quicksilver!

[spamanglenn]

It appears i should be in A/mb or A/sb.Oh well my policy of hanging around those that are faster than me is consistent.Ill ring and check.
