Finally Hit the 8's. Thanks to all.
« on: September 03, 2008, 02:40:39 PM »
Yup, Ive finally hit the 8s.  :beechug:

It was the third and last race this year with my streetlegal Hayabusa in Drachten/NL.
The weather was fine all the weekend and the track was prepared very well.

My best was a 5.788s / 129 mph (1/8 mile) and 8,830s / 161 mph (1/4 mile)



I hit the 8's six times this event. Im so happy.



Thanks to all the suzukihayabusa.org members, who have helped me out with their knowledge and parts.
(Tiger Racing, Kojak (KPS-Shop), NEM, Smithbusa, Cannadian Mike and all the rest of the board members)

Special thanks goes to „Scary-Jerry“ and the Joker Team who gave me a lot of  important instructions
and to my Pitcrew Caroline and Steve from Switzerland.


Yours, Mike

Awesome Job Mike!  It was my Pleasure.  :wink:

That is another True 8 Second Street Bike here in Germany.  I don't think there are more than 2 or 3...  :thumb:

Don't forget you (and I) went to the Semi Finals also (and were eliminated)...  :D

Thanks guys  :thumb:
I love this forum

258 mph would be great  :lol:
Sorry only kph (/1,6)

@ Jerry
It was a great weekend with you and the other guys.
2 Streetbikes in the semi-finals. That was funny.
And I will never forget the run from Charly against me.
8.1s !!! Ive only seen his taillight.
 AWESOME  :bwdwn:

When Thorsten hit the 8's next time (I am sure, he will)
we will be 3 Streetbikes in the 8's in Germany.

Thanks NEM.

Your "old" Multistage is great.
I drove your spring setup with a little bit more weight on the lever.
It works fantastic :D

 :thumb:

My best 60' was a 1.486s
I have tried to throw the clutch at 8000 so hard I can.
But I think I have already a "streetdriver" blockade in my Head.  :?
Need more seat time.
The other problem was the track.
It was good prepared but not so good as the tracks in the US.
I saw Jerrys tire spinning several times.
My advantage was my weight of 215 (with race gear).
