Well guys had a great weekend of racing a couple of weeks ago. Got 14 runs in, went 4 rounds in the gambler race on Sat. and got knocked out in the 2nd round in elims on Sunday. Friday day was test and tune and I found out alot about my new combo.
My 4 into 1 Yoshimura pipe can't get enough air with the lid on the air box. I was pulling my hair out trying to jet it for the track till I pulled the lid off. Then WOW, holy crap does this thing ever pull from 8 to 14000. but the bottom end was to rich and I forgot some of my jets. Time to try the 4 into 2 into 1 Yoshi. Motor didn't rev as fast as the other pipe but its much easier to get the jetting dailed in, much more forgiving. Has about the same power as the stock pipe with a slip on as my et's and mph as about the same as other years. Best run was a 13.56 @ 96 mph.
Got to run against a FZR 400 again. Its been years since I have had a chance to run another 400. The last time was at BIR he did a 15.53 @ 78.29 mph. This year the kid ran a 15.70 @ 80 mph. Man are those bikes SLOW!!!!!!!!!! No wonder the guys who road race then have to cheat and slip in a 600 . Anyhow here are a few pics of the weekend

Awesome, Chris. I was wondering how you did. Never remembered when I was online to ask you.
So, you're a Camero fan? :wink:
-
Awesome stuff, I always thought my B4 was faster than my FZR!
What's your method of launch...always wondered how to launch these?
Great pics!
...'cause I got me a bitchin' Camaro and an Exxon credit card'... :wink:

" try not to run over your neabor" isnt that a song from the dead milkmen or the sex pistols?

A question about the guy on the FZR. How would his weight compare to yours? A buddy and I raced each other on our Ninja 250's and he ran a full three seconds faster than me :shock: His best was a 14.3, while mine was a 17.1 I weighed about 240lbs at the time and he weighed in the neighborhood of 160. The smaller the bike is the more rider weight affects the horsepower to weight ratio.
That time for the FZR just seems really slow... a ninja 250 faster than it in the qtr ???? The guys at the two-fiddy forum will get a kick outta that!
-
The guy on the FZR was maybe 150 lbs soaking wet same with the one I raced years ago as well. I'm Ummmmmmmmmmmm atleast 250 with all my gear on. There was a very good rider there this year who weighed in a 140, he was going to take my bike for a blast but took me too long to get my jetting set up during the test and tune day
-
Hey Chris - no action shots?

Dead Milkmen :banana:

Here are a few from a guy who takes the pics and then try to sell them. This guy is out to lunch on his pricing as he wants $25.00 for a 5x7 and it goes up from there.

12.66 at a 104 mph :stickpoke:
-
also for my first time had a .112 reaction time! :beers:
-
thats on your gsxr 400???? WOW a second faster. What track were you at. Thats a slow reaction time, got to be in the .010 to .050 to win around here. Best I cut was a .002 last time out but I also redlighted but .006 twice as well. but you have to expect the old red eye from time to time . to put it into beter perspective my .002 green light was just .008 of a sec slower than my .006 red lights.
Can't believe your that much faster than mine. lol Maybe its time for a set of those cams eh Jay
-
Wow, that is fast!!! What better way to advertise the products you're selling!

1/8 8.031
mph87.24
1000' 10.499
1/4 12.640

my 60 foot times suck and so does my reaction times it a bit different than road racing ! :beers:
-
Hey Jay what is your bike's weight, and what do you weigh with all your gear on going over your time slip and things don't add up ???? Mine and yours are dead even till the 1/8 mile, I you where making more power you should be faster both et wise and MPH
-
i dont make more power thats what im getting at ! my bike makes 60-63 hp You say yours makes 70hp! :beers:
-
What i'm getting at, if your 100 lbs lighter your going to be that much faster of a given HP level
-
Okay! Dont know much about drag racing but didnt you say yur reaction time was better than mine? and my 60 ft times suck! I weigh 170lbs 5'5{" add what for my full road race leathers and boots ,gloves and back protector! helmet to! So whats funny about it? thanks jay

Great pic of the little man! The Gix looks good too.
You talking shit? Jay??? I don't believe it! :stickpoke: :monkeymoon:

But isn't your gix only 300 lbs? That's a fair bit lighter then a bandit 400. What's the stats? 10 lbs = 1 hp?
As a side note. In issue 136 of streetfighters, in the straightliners results section. They had quarter mile times for a gsxr 400 and bandit 400 (owned by a pair of brothers). The gsx-r time was 11.80 at 111 mph. The bandit rang in at 12.44 at 111 mph.
BTW, great picture of the little guy!

thanks you, thank you, Yea im usually full of it , But i didnt have enough money or HP to talk anything so i keep my mouth shut! :beers:
-
I should be able to do a 11.8 next time im out! WE"LL see tho! And its every 7lbs = 1 hp yes 300-310! but there was a scale at the track i should have weighed it! :beers:
