Well, glad to hear your back out terrorizing the track. Also, glad to hear the W's werent a problem after the light amount of well massaging you have done, time to pick me up a plasma cutter and mig welder, practice where its harder to see the qaulity (or lack of) the welds

already got the xtreme drag bar from BMR. It didn't do that last year...I had the front shocks off when I sent them to get rebuilt...so their heights are all whack I think. I'm gonna get them set soon

I don't like keeping the revs up that high unloaded that long...either way you should be in PE mode once you go that high...regardless of how long you stay up there...

the sudden jerk is the clutch being dropped...not a spike in rpms

Brian, I think the rearend isn't square. If it's pulling left try moving the right side back a touch or the left side in a touch.
Also make sure you have a quality air gauge. Uneven tire pressure will also cause it to pull one way or another.

FB,

are you pre-loading the BMR dragbar? i loaded the RR by hand, and have always gone straight. might double check that.

Nice runs! only 5000 RPM launch..come on leave at 6500 and watch them tires work

Yours is doing what Rodney's was doing,just popping the front end up to quick. Tighten the front shock up a little.

Yea damn good shifting also
