as long as you arent sleeping at the line...no doubt your bikes would probably run faster times but its all about who finishes first, Ive run races where guys have run quicker times but were playing catchup cause I put 4 or five bike lengths between us before they get going...It would be a good one though

Not a pro but I rarely sleep.

I see alot of .0xx on a .500 tree.....admittedly, Ishouldtry to run on a pro-tree more often.

I haven't been able to break 10's on the FZ for some reason.

I'll bet that 9 gives 'Busas and ZX14's pretty good runs. Both those bikes are pigs in the 1/4.

I gotta say, it's pretty fun to walk on a large-cc bike who's rider is all that and a bag of chips at the tree and humbled at the traps...too funny!

So, you anywhere near New England? I see you're in the "United States" but I hear that's a pretty big place...

Its fun going up against bigger bikes, but being carbed is a handicap in itself against the EFI bikes which makesawin all the more sweeter... New England! I love that part of the US.I spent a bit of my childhood in Georgetown, Mass. before moving to the middle east...I now live in Hawaii, been here for 17 years and never leaving.

LOLZ

Well I guess we won't be going heads up anytime soon!

Three of my closest friends moved to Kaui'i (sp?). Really nice place!


On that note, I'm outta here. We'll pick this up again tomorrow.

Peace and 1

Now I never been to the track but mine is streched and lowerd. I will say how much better on the straight away it is. What you see now is a 6 inch extention. I do have a buddy of mine building me another swing arm from the ground up later this year. I will take it out to 10-12 inches then.

petrorr, that definatly looks bad! kinda like sub-standard materials. I am with u, get a well known fabricator like McIntosh or Trac to build a good arm.
