So get to the track about 11:45 am. Pit spot I like under the big tree is open
so park and and get unloaded.
Get the genny and air comp. set up and then rode the bike to the tech booth
to turn in my card and then back to camp.

And waited and waited and waited finely got to make a pass at 3:45 pm.
Any way's go make an easy pass to get a feel of the bike do a soft launch
(1.82 60ft time)and run 80 mph for a shake down pass I wanted to see what raising the rear did
to the front at speed and it all felt good so go right back to make a hammer on it pass
get the light launch it bog's then come's alive and then shuts the F$%^ off at the 30ft.
and for the first time since I started this shit I pushed the bike back off the starting line.

Very disappointing to hear, , so what was the problem, the relay again or something else, ??

Pete it was just the one relay and was a simple swap to fix it
the part that pissed me off was them dragging their ass's moving car's down the track.
I was at the track for six hour's and got ONE pass and then had an issue on the next pass
took me longer to push it back to my pit then it did to fix it
There was no damn reason they couldn't run the test and tune guy's between calling up class's
instead I stood around waiting on the car's to get to staging lane's.

Gonna try to go to the track after work Saturday.

Hopefully you can make a couple of trouble free passes,
Good Luck !!
Pete

Game plan is turn off all the auto shift stuff and foot shift it and work on riding it on the shock's.

I'm thinking I'm making to many change's at one time and just need to step back and work at one thing at a time
starting with the wheelie issue if I can't launch it the rest don't really matter

Me having to work I got there to late to get in the race but really just wanted
to make some test pass but didn't even get to make one pass.

When I got there I talked to Steve from Total Performance he said he didn't know if they would
allow tnt so went to the tech. booth and dude said no more tnt for the night so I said f&&k it open a beer and they call for open tnt so take my tech card turn it in and before I could get back
to my pit they close tnt after about five pass then the track sat dead for over an hour.
Around 11:00 pm after more beer then I would ride on they call another round of tnt long enough
for about three bike's to make a pass.

I did get to have a nice convo. with the new owner and flat put him on blast about all the dead track time that could have been used for tnt he said some shit it's the guy in the tower dragging
his ass loading info in the timing comp. told him I was there two week's ago and it was the same shit
six hour's there and I got ONE pass in.
I told him that if this is the way thing's are going to be it's about the same travel time for me to go to S.A and I'll just start going there.

Thinking since Monday is my B-Day I'm gonna go get a legal insured tag and
go play on the street maybe do a little fishin :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Gonna race for pinks? :evil: Sounds like fun. :woohoo:

NO WAY IN HELL I'd put up the title on a race just to much shit that can go wrong
but I will put a dollar value on a race.

Know what you mean. I'd like to be there when you walk away from some crotch rocket. :woohoo:
Steve

Paid $127.00 for a year of insurance today gonna try to get the inspection tomorrow
