I've finally have time to test my ride @ the track this week. Taking to the 1/8mile see how she does on 9lbs and then up it to 12lbs. Best time was an 8.5 N/A see if I can beat that I will post times and pics tomorrow when I get back

Cool deal. I don't have class or other obligations on Thursdays or Fridays, so I may ride out.

And if you're interested, the drag strip club (including myself) here at State is going to the TnT at Fayetteville Friday night. Joe with the true blue Bullitt is going also.

Sounds like it'll be a good time. 8.5 N/A is pretty strong.

I got the last PM you sent, sorry I didn't respond but I will let you know if I can make the dyno day.

....

Had a good time (somewhat), my next door neighbor came w/ his 2003 lightning. One thing I have to say is I dont think Im going back to benson. Track sucked hardcore. The first 3 runs I could not hook till the top of 3rd. Ran a few 8.4s spinning down the track. About an hour after the track heated up I was able to run a 7.9@91 w/ a 1.94 60ft. Still spun all of 2nd gear. Have a video that I will post later. I think I could have ran a better time w/ a better track. But the worst part of it was the 50+ bikes and every other POS drag car leaked on the track, waited in line for an hour all those damn POS drag cars and then they ran the bikes!! I would have ran another time but could not wait.

.115 ----- reaction
1.9436 ----- 60FT
5.2406 ----- 330FT
7.9739 ----- 1/8 ET
91.37 ----- 1/8 MPH
