2000 Kawasaki Green ZX-12 Stroker with juice and one fat old dumb guy on it 210.4 mph
First off I just want to thank everyone at Maxton, they are some real nice folks there. They would give you the shirt off their back even if you didn't ask for any help. Second, hanging with the TFA is always the best!!!!!!!!! Thanks Karl (Entropy) for making this trip possible for me, I would not have done it without you. Great to meet all the people I have talked to online but never met in person. Special thanks to Mr. JohnnyCheese for putting together a bullet proof stroker that is my regular street bike. In his words "who says you can't run a stroker 12 on juice and have it live". The bike now has a few Texas Mile visits, about 4k street miles, a ton of Dyno pulls with and without juice, and one special visit to Maxton. It'll be a sad day when I have to retire the old 12 to street duty, but my Bro and I now have a designated LSR project bike. Maybe one last go at Texas and Maxton.
OldKawBoy, Dan, the kids, Mr. Hill It was a pleasure meeting you all. Same withY2k, Jim,TShultz, Ex-skydiver, ZRXDean, Joe (tech guy from Long Island), Ice Man, Bill, Todd, Deb, and those people I never new till that day like Kieth, Jon "SSS" and Al, quirky but real nice!
Special congrats to Karl "Entropy" 203mph and Ryan "Osti33" 200mph. I am sure this is just the beginning of TFA ventures to Maxton.
Thank you much Mr. Hill for giving me the go at the start line!
PS: Yep, that would be my muffler that popped. I usually do not leave the juice on when I shift, but I was in 5th comming up real close to the one mile marker and did not feel I had time to let off. So I assume a little nos was left in the muffler and ignited. Mr. Hill said he saw it from the start line, I did not hear or feel anything and did not realize it until someone said something to me. I jumped off the bike and grabbed Kieth immediately so they could shut the track down. Sorry about that.
Thanks again you all,
Gary Dow
