Thanks guys. I'll make this long story short: I got my 8 second slips. :)

Here are the time slips :





I was pretty rusty since I had not been to the track in about 8 weeks. Nonetheless, I still got it done The air was excellent (-427 DA when I ran the 8.93), but the bike didn't seem to respond with mph. I tried a couple of different maps, but didn't see the mph I wanted. I think I could use a proper muffler, and perhaps a return to the stock velocity stacks. We also had some pretty good crosswinds which likely robbed some mph at times.

Overall though, I have to be happy with the ET’s. I know there are more in store from here on out. Here is my last pass of the day, and of the season:



That’s my story in a nutshell.

Thanks man! Smoothness and consistency are my biggest focus at the track. I keep working on that, and the gradual increases in speed seem to come.

I'm not the most aggressive rider out there, nor the quickest learner. I try to make up for some of that with tenacity.
