Title: so close yet so far (9 second pass)
Post by: rosco15 on November 13, 2005, 07:14:04 AM: I started really trying to run the busa when the regular racing season ended and I put my dragbike up for the year. My goal was to try and get a 9 second pass out of it. My 60' is the limiting factor. I've been getting closer and closer each time out.

So close.
Went out Saturday. Made a couple passes in the 10 teens. 10.16 @ 142 10.14 @ 142 and a 10.12 @ 143. Best pass prior was a 10.18 @140. They had a gamblers race so I got in it. Dialed a 10.12. Had my best 60' ever at a 1.78. Was way ahead at the big end so I let off the gas and sat up. Ran 10.09 @136. Doing the math I was probbly going to run 10.07 or so. They had a couple oil downs and I had to leave to look after my son. So I didn't make any more passes. I think I'm done for the year. It is november in NE Ohio. I'm right on the verge of getting my 60's where it needs to be and just ran out of time.

i still cant get one out of mine ( of course i only raced it twice this year..) anyway i got down to 10.001..... cant get much closer than that without running a nines, I probly could have farted on that run and got enough to run a nine!!!!. that day i ran 10.04,10.02, 10.01, 10.001.... what a bitch... i've decided i need some wheelbase, or to loose weight ( 198lb nekid), or change the gearing if i'm gonna go nines on this bike with just a pipe, 60' at 1.72 so far.....

Post by: rosco15 on November 13, 2005, 11:23:26 AM: I weigh 220 before breakfast. The bike is 16 - 41 geared +4" on the swingarm. Brock street megaphone with pc3r. The air was really good saturday. I was raising up off the seat once I had it in third gear. I saw somewhere it makes the air flow over the bike better??? Or it could have had something to do with dragway42. I usually never go there. It can be bumpy, but was hooking really well. No tire spin at all.
