Funny thing here how some minds think alike.
We finally got the ole Gray Ghost out to "da Grove", Union Grove Drag Raceway just over the ILL. line in Wisconson this last Thursday for their bike night, and all Harley Shoot Out. We have been dealing with some timing issues that have been holding us back in the top rpm range for that old Iron Head. It only took a couple of runs for me to realize why LSR is more our cup of tea now a days rather then the 1320.
With RT's of like .380 and .450 ! ? - you know I am not there for the ET's
So we got seven runs in and nailed our timing issue to the history wall, the ole Gray Ghost was just singing right past that 7 K at days end.
Granny shifting and all, going through the traps wound tight in 3rd, or 4shifting just before the traps made little difference. Winding up in the mid 12's at 107. Just not enough room with the gearing I had, - 21 main shaft 46 rear sprocket.
Oh what big fun though - Checkin out the other bikes is always a charge for me, I love seeing what all these gear heads come up with.
And besides - the smell of burning rubber and that 110 & 120 fuels, just makes you feel good.
Have fun -
