I'll make it quick since I'm sleepy, sunburned, dehydrated, hungry and sipping on my 2nd beer getting ready for bed.

Got to the track with 16/44 gearing (strip)...decided to wring its neck n/a since the zx14 with a 3 mill overbore (1452cc) ran 191 n/a....

BAM 192.4 ... it was ridiculously easy actually....running no spray I tend to not make mistakes :oops: That extended rev limiter came in handy 8)

Sunday decide to spray...went 18/46 instead of my usual 18/45 ... however the big 3 Hs loomed:

Headwinds, heat, humidity :x

Not only did it take its toll on the bike, but on me too. Just a few minutes in gear and in staging and I was melting, as we all were, felt dizzy sometimes...

Making shifting mistakes I ran 198.5 mph :x

Do it again, this time double bottles 197.xx :x :x

FUCK THIS, NOW ITS ON. But the harder I try the more my worn Pirelli spins in protest screaming THIS IS NOT A DRAG STRIP A-HOLE, chill!

WTF....194?

And to top it all off....my last run I was running so low fuel (my reserve light no longer works, guess I found out on this run :roll: ) that on spray in 5th and spray it was cutting out like someone hit my kill switch. :shock: I swore the motor blew but I stayed on the button and throttle

:twisted:

rpms are coming in and out....6th.....it wakes up.... :P but too little too late....I'm crouched down to the point where it hurts everything :? ... all I needed to see was a lil over 12k to get 200....high 11s....never could recover in time....191.xx :roll:

Lesson learned, went slower on spray but faster than I ever have before n/a. Also, 16/44 gearing worked well n/a, I shoulda gone 17/44...but I got a lil hungry and wanted more mph so I went 18/46....given the conditions it made me look slower but for the conditions I did ok....just need to get that air shifter on. I can say I was woozy about 1/2 the runs due to the heat. Shit happnes, I'm just gonna regear for TX mile in 2 weeks.

I also broke my GPS since it didn't record my speed on my 198 run....I have a very short fuse when electronics don't work. YOU DON'T WORK? THATS IT...YOU'RE OUTTA HERE....SMASH! :twisted:

I'll have to borrow someone's GPS to see where exactly I am at with my next gearing choice for 200 mph for TX :D

Congrats to all the new record holders...

How about letting us know how some other bikes and riders did? What was the top speed for the event etc.?

Had a turbo ZX12R at my last track day. Talk about driving a tack with a sledge hammer! He rode the bike to event, taped up, and rode the track, as far as I can tell. He parked the bike next to my pit area. I was looking for the rider but had to go out for my session, when I got back I never saw the bike again. I have a bad feeling he may have went down, very difficult to modulate that kind of power coming off a corner :shock:

Ship, how about that report on what other bikes did at the event? While you are at it, what are some of the "bests" from Texas?

Guess this is why there is no interest in LSR, you can't find out any info on how anyone did, even from the folks that were there :D

Just saw the thread rebumped :D

Shane did 181, His gf on the 03/04 gixxer 1k went 179.

Dahmurf did 187? Her husband, Todd/na rider went 186 on spray on his 1st gen 1k.

Sal & Ace performance went 209.xx mph on the 10R with a small shot

Jesse & Ace performance went 168+ mph on the 636 no spray

Walt Kudrow went 242 or 244?!?! Something nutty.

Dave O's son rode his 1507 cc busa, I belive 215 on motor and squeaked a 200 mph run naked to get into the 200 mph club.

Dave O's other son I belive ran 172 on a newish stock-ish gixxer 750, broke the record by 1 mph?

Happy now?

Yes sir, thank you! :D And congrats to you.
