Whats # is Terry? just check #2 .3 behind! :eek:

hes bike VR#4 ,, looks like 10.017 ,, Clay is in 3rd , he missed last round for clutch work ,, he told me it was slipping thru 2,3,and 4 ,,, had to add weight

Met Andrew and GT the other night at Folsom HD; first time I've seen their bikes up close; real nice guys; I didnt bring up the redlightitis but I told GT I thought it was his turn to win.

but they certainly ARE NOT V-rods

Not one Harley much less vrod part on those bikes.

if they atleast were a similar design it would be a fair call ,,, but I doubt anyone can say they have seen a V rod with 2 valves per cyl ,, or pushrods ,,, and they're nothing like a typical HD motor either ,,, hence they are another example of why abortion's are legal

but they certainly ARE NOT V-rods

I agree totally, they would not count as the 2 fastest V-Rods in my book.

ALL I WAS SAYING IS ALL PRO'S ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TREE.
AS WAS SEEN AT SONOMA THIS LAST WEEKEND.(TOP FUEL,FUNNYCAR,PRO
STOCK CAR, PRO STOCK BIKE) I BELIEVE THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE RED LIGHT IN EVERY CAT.

Andrew red lighted in the semi's. The only way he was going to beat Antone (sp?) was on the light. John Force also red lit; first time Ive seen him do that in a long time.

You Never Know what can happen in Drag Racing!If you red you'll never get the Chance!John KNEW he FU(KED Up !You just don't Make Mistakes like that at THAT LEVEL! :tmbsdow:

I have 1 red light in my history (during eliminations that is) I rolled backwards ,,, I'll never forget it (cost me $1000.00)

What is your average light Jack - list the last 10...KSP

we were playing on the practice tree in a friends shop (full size tree) ,,, drinking waaaay more beer than is smart ,,,, I kept hitting .025's even though I couldnt navigate well ,,,,,, guess I could launch but would need a designated rider LoL

My observation regarding red lights - He who lives by the sword die by the sword - my last two on Sunday fun street racing was a .496 and a .503 on a .500 tree. A few weeks back I ran 5 rounds in a row with best light in the field (qualify for by-run) then hit the redbulb in the next - had a couple .503 and a .501 in that group as I recall. was running gamblers against top class cars with delay boxes went to finals.... Of course prostock is a differant game - I believe that it has alot to do with clutch setup as they drop the hammer as soon as they see the light. I have also been struggling with a new setup - chain and new clutch - roll out is a few hundreds quicker than belt and I have to sit on the third bulb a bit prior to launch...... therefore I can redlight easier than prior setup....... We will see how things work out this weekend - I am chasing again in third place for the3 points... KSP

KSP,
I just went to a chain drive from a 28 tooth belt. How much improvement did you see in your 60' and ET when you converted?

from 28 tooth set up to 22/66 = .1 to .13 or so in 60 (current best @ 1.67 which will improve by year end - equates to approx .2 in quarter - geared for full 5 gear pass with top speed at 117@9,000 RPM. Ran best ET @ 11.567 with very hot,humid air - it will run in the 11.4 maybe 11.3x under the very best conditions...... (note 850 lbs bike and rider).Prior best was 11.59 with excellent condition. Kevin

in Seattle we ran a dead-stock (rental-VR) at 11.40 ,, just by removing some dead weight ,,,

Jack,
Are you going to be in Woodburn ? how about renting a bike and we will run em.

I dont expect to be there ,, but I bet DynoDave will be ,, he can show you how it works ,,, and please look up Smitty in the street-pro pits and tell him I said Hi ,,, he has a white sporty with airtech body ,, its called "Peaches the Pumped Piglet" ,,,, btw ,, he saw the rent-A-rod run in Seattle , we were pitted sbs(great coffee also)

I ran against Clay and his rentarod in Seattle in qualifying and was impressed. I'd like to see someone else do it and see what they could do.

Jack - absolutely - as the old saying goes weight is horsepower - I am about 210 with leathers and the bike is in at 630 or so depending on how much fuel I run with - I chose to customize vs stripping it down - which of course does not optimize ET - also I have a routine that is aimed at consistency - this also does not optimize for best ET....but that is my program. KSP

Hey Leadfoot , did you stop by our pits in Seatle ? I hauled Clays bike out (besides others ) I was the short guy helping out with the street-pro buell

KSP ,, Clay is far from a lightweight ,, I'm guessing he had the rent-A-rod done in about 30 minutes or less ,,, and back together even quicker

Yah Jack are you coming to Woodburn? Hey Leadfoot! Tell Len and Matt I said Hi!

Dave , no bike "track ready" ,, and no one needing my services , so I dont plan to leave NewYork ,, but you never know ,, I would be thrilled to be out there ,, as I'm sure you noticed from seattle !! ,,,,,

PS ,,, show these kids how a stocker can run !!!

Hi Jack, Hi Dave,
Jack are you going to be in Bristol? I'll be heading over on Thursday with a trailer full of V-Rods. I may be the only one making the trip so I will need your help getting these thoroughbreads to the line. I didn't make it to Sturgis. Chris Carr is to blame for that as we celebrated his win on Saturday night in Farley, Iowa with a little to much Crown. I would have needed to leave by midnight to get there for qualifying and it wasn't going to happen. So the posative side is the Rods are loaded and race ready.
Dave I'm still thinking about Woodburn but Vegas is a sure thing.
Bye Bye

Rent-A-Race-Rod ,,,, I'm thinking of subjecting myself to the 20 hour busride ,, and as to the trailer load of rods ,, there's only one that needs a 125 lb pilot :broke: see you maybe !

Sorry Jack, but my Rod likes weight just ask Joey Sternotti, he was going to show me what a little street pro guy could make it do in the quarter and failed to beat my slow times.
VR16

August 21, All Bike drags at Wichita intl' Raceway in Wichita Ks. Lots of Harley's and everything else. Always a good time. Track is pretty nice and WIDE all the way to the return road, Plenty of shut down as well( its on an old air strip). Anyone gets down there, look us up. We will be in LATE Friday night, probably hang out at the track , then race Sat. PLUS it will be my 40th B-day while there. ( sounds like trouble) he he he
