Default ok, so I have a real question...

Mid 9s @ 145+mph. Go from a high roll, 70+ mph, and if you are running him with the car in sig you will lose ground until about 130 or so and then reel him in.

sounds good to me.
We ran him with some of our cars getting set out last weekend and he was coming arround 10 second cars at the 1000'.
His only thing is, he woln't race trailer cars, so the cars must be driven.

Sure, I'm gonna drive a car that gets 8 miles to a gallon 90+ miles out there to race him. NOT! I'll be leaving the trailer at a friend's place on the North side and driving 10-15 minutes up there. This would be a perfect run for Dan or Jason to get set out a couple...

Race him from a hefty roll and you'll stand a chance after you've gotten to speeds that just dont make sense...

Roll racing is for ricers and supras.
These races are from a DIG!

We haven't been to the track since last spring when the old motor came apart.
The car is by no means slow though, and neither is this bike.

Unless your car is running very very low 9s or the rider is a chump, you should prepare to have your *** handed to you from a dig. Sorry but racing a ZX12R from a dig on the street is suicide.

actually we can maybe do something with him... I say dan gets about one to two cars with the move...


and Jason (Red TA)can be set out around lets say a lightpole, kind of like racing paul and johns busa on dope...

Jason (blue SS) i say maybe HEADS THE **** UP and drag the bike for all it is worth... we just need to get the car running

this is houston remember... our street cars run nines did you look at the dyno day pics and the vids i posted. when our Average street car dyno was 500 to 550 rwhp i think we can do well for a more built car


not being an *******, just spreading the word... come to houston and bring your A Game...

Mach1, bring your car down here man, we might get some good races for ya to make some scratch..

Sorry Aries, but I have to agree with this guy. If the rider is a good rider.

well, we ran him with a heads/cam/gas firehawk about 5 times the other night and he has a real problem getting the bike into 3rd... Maybe a burnt clutch or something similar, but on the launch he would make up like 3-5 cars on the hawk, and then they would be even going through the 1/8th and the bike would put 5-8 more on the hawk on the other end.

I know what the hawk runs, and I would need to set him out a bunch... Hopefully this will be a good race, and if I'm gonna lose to the bike, it will not be by much.
