TEXAS MILE March 2013...


Got-Boost?

Recommended Posts

I had a few things happen but overall can't complain it was a GREAT weekend!

 

 

Saturday first shakedown pass (very low boost):

The start was SLOOOOOOW! :lol:

Second pass felt great but about the 3/4 mark I felt something hit my leg and let up, coasting through the traps...

 

Second pass:

On this run my lower fairings disintegrated somewhere around 220mph...

 

 

 

Taped it up and decided to run "half naked" on Sunday and turned up the boost a little! :gabe:

 

Now I was fighting wheelies in 1st-4th gear and spinning in 5th/6th at STOCK wheelbase low boost-2nd setting...

 

Third pass:

Fourth pass:

At this point, I more than met my goal of 220+ for the low boost setting and was happy to have a SAFE and FUN weekend so packed up and headed home. I've got a LOT left on the table but I'll save it for another day. Was a GREAT weekend to be back racing! :fuckyeah:

Awesome photos, that bmw 1000rr is sexy as hell.

 

Did you make any passes? Whatd you run? Also how come some bikes are stretched like crazy and some arnt, i thought for the mile events you didnt want a ridiculously long swingarm.

 

That is Valerie Thompson on her sponsored BMW, she went 212mph for a new 1000cc record!

 

 

You don't want them crazy stretched but most people think they can hook out here like at the "prepped" dragstrip and it doesn't happen. It's all a learning experience and everyone has an idea of what's fast or will be fast..lol.

 

Some would also rather have wheel-spin over wheelies at 180+, I like a little of both... :lol:

Thats awesome she set a record, and i dont know about wheelspin at 180.... i feel like a wheelie would be easier to maintain.

 

Are there any pics of your bike posted up above? Except for the very first pic thats nearly all black :lol:
