200 Horsepower Rocket 3 vs 100 Horsepower Thruxton R at Drag strip

You 2 fellows are the best. I've watched and waited for this video over the last year and wasn't disappointed. Glad you guys are such close friends and can share this friendly rivalry with the mob... Mr Bill, as to the $7000 spent... if it brought a bit of happiness your way... it was well worth it. :)

PS, you could sell shares in that grin you were wearing to help offset the cost... We were all rooting for yah.

Good for poor old Mr.Bill after suffering all those losses.😂 What modifications does the Thruxton have? I do think Justdad is a technically sound drag racer and that adds to his possibility of winning. The launch of the R3GT was not so great.
The Thruxton R has a cam, slip-ons, and ECU throttle body restrictions removed. Dr. D I would need to a lot of repetition to be half way sharp again.

On my plus side in the last six years and 94 drag races with seven different bikes I have never been beat by a bike with same or less power.

I'm pretty proud of Jeff coming out in jumping right in on his new Rocket. If he stays with it a few times he'll get the launches and reaction times down and soon be into the 11s. His times the first time out were as quick as Mr. Bill's average times just a year ago.
