Dude, are you gonna make me wait until I load mine into the trailer next to yours to see your new baby? 1 hour ago, i-Zapp said: Cool thanks for the info guys. One more question- what top end would you expect on a 600 there? I'm running gearing that just barely touches red line at MidO and expecting a change of at least one or two teeth? I believe the back straight at Road Atlanta is longer than the one at Mid-O. I believe Mid-O is around 3025ft and Road Atlanta is just shy of a mile from what I've read this morning.

There is a kink at the end which will raise your rpm some, I was on the limiter in 6th with stock rear sprocket and -1 in the front at that kink. The straight is super long but it is mostly up hill.

I did it for a day with a guy I know a few years ago. He was from PA, met him at Nelsons. He wrecked the first lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 13 minutes ago, what said: Or just take the white whale and blow people's minds. I thought about that, but changing the final drive ratio's on a belt drive is difficult and expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester_ Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I got the suspension in and geometry all set and gas tank back on this weekend. Just need to put the body work and wheels on then change fluids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Crap, I better pick up the pace. I still need to fix my bodywork, install pads, look over the safety wiring on the gsxr, hopefully my suspension gets here soon (I talked to them, they were looking to get them done this week).

blue03636 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Ok, looks like Art is not riding down with Steve and I now. He will be there but going with someone else. If someone does need a ride I will have room for 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back most likely this Saturday, if not next. Do you still need to pick it up? I'll be going by there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
