1/8mi drag race Touring vs the GT

A Metzler 888 is definitely not a drag tire. 🤓 I took it all the way down to 27 psi and it would still get squirrelly in second and third..My best time/speed was when I raised it up to 35 psi and worked the throttle. @KevinFrazier found me a Cobra Chrome that I will put on for next week’s runs. 🦍 Here is a time slip running against Konrad’s Harley. I am 39. Look at his reaction time. 🙀 Yeah, he’s done this a time or two. This was my first time on a quarter mile track.

Good Time / Good Speed. Well Done NashVegas. Triple Zero is impressive. I have never achieved it myself. Congrats to Konrad.

Thanks, he is pretty consistent. He had 2 red lights out of 6 runs. His other ones were- .000, .025, .035 and .083.
His ET’s were nice @ 11.757-11.759-11.763-11.857-11.896 and a 12.147.
 
After dropping sump at track and cleaning screens in trailer i buttoned it up and went racing, not the best day but a learning experience day. Race one against #39 @Nashvegas , race two against #0815 on pretzel and he lived the win, race tres against #39 on that fast gt. Tickets dont lie, it was week 5 of drag racing and i learned alot. Overcame a sump issue from week before, changed out a clutch pack and a broken hub bolt😁stock, i went back ofcourse with the 50mm steel jokers. Went with a suspension change raising the bike this week to try to get more level, since i run a 130/70 thats already 2in down, but this week going back down, seems faster, tickets say faster, not as stable feeling but going back to try and give #39 a run, its gonna have to be my best run to stand a chance. His best run this past weekend and my best from week prior, stock touring vs the new 2.5 monster breathing dragon, boy was i slow off the line. I hope i can make the 2.3l touring guys proud next weekend. He had a run that was faster than we raced, 11.04 i believe, hope to get him in 10s this week, the stocker might not do it.

Congrats Kevin. 11.527 @ 121.17. That is a sweet set of numbers. What is the altitude at this drag strip ?
