1/8mi drag race Touring vs the GT

Kevin I see your throttle hand but not your clutch hand. What has helped me in the past is keeping my throttle hand elbow up slightly. It helps me get more of full throttle sooner....it feels strange but it works.

Working on the suspension will certainly keep the bike from bouncing. I think the little hop you get might be minimized a bit by releasing the clutch in staging to the just before pulling the bike and a little slower initial release. You may already be doing part of this, I couldn't tell from the video.

I try and keep my eyes up down track until shifting into 3rd, it keeps be straight and helps me from missing the shift from 1sr to 2nd. I'm sure by now you don't need the tach in order to change gears the first time without hitting the rev limiter.

These are a few things that have worked for me over the years and you might find helpful.
 
I will try to incorporate the tips. I appreciate the feedback and will be working on those few things. Thanks

Kevin, I enjoy watching your journey and appreciate you taking us along. There are always missteps or blips , glad to see you aren't easily swayed in your determination to keep pursuing your goal.

Thank you, mama didnt raise no quitter, whole new ball game this Saturday, still running same settup as last week with only rebound speed change to rear and got about all the sag available with the springs that are on the shocks. With the front weighted its definitely took away sag adjustment on shocks. Id like to have an inch available and i dont. Not even 1/2in so that might be a small issue reaching speeds of 120mph. Having a blast, thanks for always helping with the projects i encounter with the rocket @Idaho Red Rocket3 can you post some of your stock runs against Jerry, sorry to bring up a sore subject, please post the 200hp build that smashed Jerry
 
That was a nice ride down memory lane. Kevin my hopes for you are better numbers than mine. Of course what we all need to know is FCCR made me keep my Rocket at full dress. I wanted to strip it down but he said no. I said OK. Ill beat you anyway. I did. I do wonder what numbers my Rocket will do stripped down. One day I'll find out.
 
Lot to learn, feel free to pick apart, i will learn from it and try to correct. I dont get butt hurt thats why im so transparent. help me get better! More videos to come
Barbie,
You are doing great! I so miss my days at the strip - 40 YEARS AGO! Would now be real scary to do at 79. Figure out to mount a launch control?
