Professor,
Thanx to you and everybody else (Guy,etc) who helped me with info on my questions about tech regulations. Todd B. called me with info also. This allowed me to get thru tech with no changes(except for removing my NOS bottles since I ran an all motor class S/G 3000).
I was fortunate enough to park next to Scott, and he helped me get initiated to ECTA, and helped me pick a class to run. Ironically, the class he suggested he owned the record, knowing I may break it to get in the club. Real 1st class guy.
I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT THE WHOLE ECTA GROUP!!! THEY WERE SO GREAT TO DEAL WITH, AND HELPED WITH EVERYTHING. KEITH, TONYA, SCOTT, DAD, DALE AND EVERYONE WHO I FORGOT THEIR NAMES (SORRY) WERE FANTASTIC. GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE!!!
My 1st pass was 205+, and I think Keith was more excited than myself even(maybe not). This set the record for S/G 3000 easily, and put me in the club. They were so impressed they asked to check my bottle setup again(still in the trailer). That was the best compliment possible IMO. I went 208.5 2 passes later, and came back to impound and popped the cowl for Dad every record pass from that point on. Bike was very very hot, and parked it for the rest of day. Many people asked me to put on the spray and make a pass, but I declined.
Sunday was cooler, with some h2o vapor visable. 1st pass was 206.8, then 207+. Air dryed out, and I let engine cool(big motor). Rolled up to starter and nailed a 211.3 pass. Backed it up with a couple of 209+'s with hot motor. Still on ALL MOTOR.
Jim was continually improving on the 12. He was up to 217+ during my 211 pass. By the time I left he was at 218.7 I think. He had done a great job with his bike...and used a lot of NOS...LOL
Rich went a 33 or 37 I think, and Scott went 44 on Rich's bike if my short term is correct.
Don Smith was there, went 160 on stock gixx 6. Couple of his friends were there on R1(spray), and gixx1K. The gixx went 193+, R1 went 198+ to set new record.
Also was guy on Busa with dry shot, he went 201..
And Dad went 140+ on his xlch powered bike. Had to shake his hand on that.
Thanx again to all, had a great time!!!!
Dave
