National finals

Postby Dave » 27 Sep 2010 20:44

To cut a long story short we ran a NPB with mufflers a 9.60 @ 141.5 our best is 9.57@ 142.5 with open headers and better conditions. Had 4 runs before the rains came and ended the meeting early. Clicked the 60ft beams with the back wheels twice. Looks like we beat our last 130ft wheelie by another 30ft :D

Were the lights staggered or were you a bit slow off the line there? :lol:

It's bracket racing, I actually cut a better light than my opponent (for once :? )

I thought that would be the case.

It is me that sometimes day-dreams and forgets to concentrate on the light. :mrgreen:

:shock:

I dunno how you stay in that. Honestly. You must be using The Force. :lol:

I'd have bottled out about 12 feet off the line and probably gone home with all me front suspension stuffed in.

Awesome. :nod:
