By this point it was approaching noon and we heard that a lot of people leave after noon on Sunday to make the long drive home. That worked out great for us because I hurried to get back in line to make another license pass. By this time the lines kept getting shorter and shorter. It was a little after 1pm when I got my second license run done. On the 175 license I ended up running 174.643mph!
It was getting late and racing stopped at 4pm so we hurried again to get back in line. On my third pass I ran a nice and easy run up to 200mph and just shifted into 6th and cruised through the traps running 202.399! First 200mph pass on the Turbo setup...
I looked at my watch and hurried back in line. It was a little after 3:20pm at this point and I wasn't sure if I'd get another run. I got up to the starting area and there were a bunch of people ahead but most were bikes. I was lucky enough to get called into the pre-stage area at 3:50 and there were still 10 people ahead of me. I thought no way am I going to get another run. So I just waited and waited and finally they make the radio announcement that it's 4pm. I thought for sure we were done. There were still 4 people ahead of me and then Al the starter says I would be the last run of the event. I got excited that I would finally be able to make a full pass going wide open throttle and seeing what the Turbo was capable off.
Last run ended up being only 204.542mph!
The good news is I didn't hurt anything on the bike, I beat my previous best of 204.465 when I was stock engine N/A...
BUT....I found out I have plenty of power I haven't even used and I have a LOT of tuning and experimenting to do with ECU editor. The boost was turned way down. I was barely even using 240-260whp and due to the boost spiking a few times from 8psi up to 16.6psi according to the log, the bike just shut down. Once the computer saw that I reached my boost limit (which I had set very low) the ECU essentially shut the bike down in 5th and 6th gear. So the bike ran fine through 4th, wheelied just a little in 4th and then once I shifted the bike into 5/6 the bike quit pulling. It surged on/off as the computer fought to keep the boost below my target setting at half track. So the bike pulled fine into 4th and essentially coasted through the traps in 6th gear since the ECU wouldn't allow me to over-boost and build power in the last two gears.
I know, rookie mistake on my part but then again it's my first TURBO-bike, first time out with the Turbo, first time at Wilmington, and many other firsts. I'm really just glad to get back out racing. I've taken almost two years off racing and have had two beautiful daughters in that time. It felt good just to get back out to the track, see some old friends, and enjoy the toy again. I'm looking forward to next year and trying some new stuff and changing the setup a little. Good to know I've got an extra 200whp left on the table that I haven't even touched yet.
Another funny part is I missed the class record by .02mph.....
I just want to thank my father in-law Steve for taking off work and coming out to the races to help with loading, unloading, trouble shooting, etc..etc...and everything! Thank you to my family for the support, Mike and Austin for bringing your pit bike to run around on and help. Thanks to Charles Freeman at the track for getting ECU editor working again on my laptop, and JP for checking out my logbox.
Also want to thank
Rick Livy @ Rick's Custom Cycle for the build!
Richard Peppler @ RCC Turbo's for the kit and all the TURBO knowledge and help!
Thank you Brock @ Brock's Performance, Johnny Cheese, Shane Stubbs, Tom Gates, Bill Warner, Bob Sellers, Guy Caputo, Karl Gunter, and many others I'm probably forgetting. Thank you guys for taking the time and sharing your knowledge and secrets to the newbie! 
Until next year when I can turn it up...
...thank you all!
Remember,.....
BE SAFE, GO FAST, and HAVE FUN!
