I'm looking through my pics from this year, and here's Greg's 1994 Suzuki GSXR750 with Jim riding at World of Speed. My GF Leslie took the pic.

Greg set a record (and got a red hat) in APS-BG-750 at 212+. After adding more static clutch pressure, Jim set a record (and got a red hat) in APS-BF-750 at 218+. Great work gentlemen.

Thanks Dean and Leslie, thats a good pic,

We were way short on the pics we should have taken, Jim took a few shots while Mick and myself were working on the bike but there are very few shots of Jim.

Hope Leslie took lots of your bike too Dean, esp your face after the 211 run.. thats determination, nearly choking yourself on the helmet strap while getting your red hat

Jims racing at El Mirage this weekend, have to give him a call and see how its going

thanks dean, it looks like a 96-97 model, or is it just the newer bodywork, i had a 95 model, best shifting bike i ever owned. i wounder how much power that thing is making cause thats moving for anything much less a 750, could we get some pics of the bike.

Definitely 750, brought another set of cyls and pistons to Jims workshop when we first decompressed the motor in August, just in case it had previously been oversized.
its actually a 99, very much like a little busa, removable cyls and efi were the main reason for picking this model to build and not a later bike.
don't know how much hp all tuned with a logger , but have a gt28r on it pushing 27 psi (couldn't get any more at that altitude )
Myself, FiremanJim and Mick (who has a turbo 750 here in Aus)

thanks for the pics and info, thats crazy for a 750. bet that thing would be fun on the road racing busas from a roll

Oz Booster · « **Reply #11 on:** November 16, 2008, 04:32:07 PM »

would need a good roll very tall geared to reach that speed, have to flintstone it off the line

Just heard Jim ran 206.xx at El Mirage

zrxdean · « **Reply #12 on:** November 16, 2008, 09:08:02 PM »

Congrats to Jim, great job. Not sure why I said your bike was a 94, I'm getting old.

Congrats Jim!

He is a great guy, had a good time talking to him during the wind delay Sat. @ ELMO.

I was amazed at the story and what these guys did on the salt as well.

27psi!! Intake temps musta been hotter than the fires of hell

zrxdean · « **Reply #21 on:** November 17, 2008, 01:29:23 PM »

Not with his water-air intercooler

Oz Booster · « **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2008, 02:51:30 PM »

Water/air cooler has a 10 psi cap and was purging hot water in the top of the measured mile, spraying on me till i realised what it was and moved the overflow hose to spray onto the radiators., thought we blew the headgasket the first time at BUBs .
Think it will have a ice box next year.

John looks like the Noonan /Moreland vehicles made a major contribution to the SDRC points .. Congrats

Yes it's like fishing, 90 % of the fish are caught by 10% of the fishermen

Congrats John on the points championship, really impressive.

Can you tell me about your naked 1000? Pics? You are hauling ass, 207 in the dirt

Gotta see if I still have a chance at a claret hat...
