I had a great time this weekend....chilled out with Rich and Roy. 

Rode Roy's ZX-15 to 218.3 mph.  Definately more in it but we had to adapt and ride around some electrical problems.

Rode Rich's ZX-14 to 199.3 mph.  Maybe a teeny more in it, not sure if I was on the soft limiter but I felt like I was at redline for the last 1/10 mile, wasn't picking up any more RPMs.  Maybe a gearing change???

All in all, very fun.  I regret not bringing my 12 and 250 but neither were really ready.  Tons of runs for everyone for sure.  Not too hot....crosswinds sometimes blew me around at the big end.  I'd trade away a tail/crosswind for no winds, but thats just me.

As requested, pics:

Roy on Rich's bike....STUNNA!!!!



Greg on the 10 running high 190s to low 200s all weekend.



Rich and Roy's 14s:



Jarle on the record breaking, fastest 250cc 4 stroke...topping 131 mph on the juice!!!!



Rich asking Roy....."Hey, can I borrow an 18 tooth?"  Roy replies...."Sorry, I only have a 19 and its on the bike."



Eric on the 250, going 114 on a naked Ninja 250....on the juice!



250 and ZX-15



Eric's Tuck:



Roy on the starting line getting ready to run.....hey its a tailwind:



Sorry, God rides a Suzuki .... back to the crosswinds for you.



Eric about to spray the house down on the 250:



Rich about to make his first pass of the day on Saturday:



Roy pulling logs, analyzing data .... and other duties best left to those with 4 eyes.



OWEIUR*&DSHFSD?   Yeah so (*&DFHOSDHF)_J!FNDS.  Got it.



Last runs on Sunday .... threw on Roy's cut tank to see if Rich could break his presonal best of 197.

Really doesn't look that bad:



And a horrible "Rich vs Roy" pic from what had to be the very first digital camera ever produced.....ever.



Good times.....I'll post up video soon, just got some sleep (hey, what a concept!)

Very special thanks to the guy on the Busa who gave Roy and I the nitrous on Saturday....who knew we'd be putting 10 lbs of spray through the stroker in 9 hours!!!!  We never counted on getting that many runs in.

There was a turbo 1000 sitting at the back of the staging lanes on a tire warmer....just waiting for the right time to strike....and it did....clocking a 239 mph pass by the end of the day out of NOWHERE!!!

Hope to make it out there in June for some fun runs.

ALL I CAN SAY IS "WOW"!!!!  WHAT A WEEKEND!!!

FIRST AND FOREMOST: I want to offer my sincerest gratitude and appreciation to every single ECTA volunteer working to keep us safe and helping us go fast and have fun...  you guys are my heroes and I am truly humbled by your enthusiastic and giving spirits!!!


That said... I think this might have been the most fun I have ever packed into a single weekend in my entire life!!!!!!!

Awesome weather, awesome people, track was in great shape, a tailwind on Saturday, run as many laps as you want....... what more could you ask for!

We were able to get in seven passes over 190mph this weekend in our little truck, and set a class record on every single pass - beating one record by over 30mph!  We also got to know some fellow racers better, met some great new people, and hope to hear from and see you all again very soon!

Hey, Kix -- thanks for letting us know that you had fun.  We told you so, didn't we?  Your truck sure looks ready to run - and it must have been if you were able to go well and fast all weekend.

Nancy and I weren't able to be there -- but one of these days - one of these days we will, and then we'll get to put faces on some of the names - like yours.  Later - -

Hey - fun videos.  But what's with the dust I keep seeing at about the 1/2 mile?  I heard there were no oildowns, so kitty litter wouldn't be the cause. 
Thanks for the video.  Pretty good, too.  Used a tripod?

It was some kind of combine type farm equipment operating out in the field left of us towards the airport.

Thankfully the dust blew down and away from us,, not back towards us or the track.

Something came up at the last minute, and I wasn't able to make it. I know you guys had fun, and congrats to the new record holders. Maybe Tonya will let me use my entry fee at a later date  :?

Greg, Roy, Rich, and Ali were a blast to watch at the end of Sunday.  Just big stupid grins all the way around.  Charles I always enjoy your wonderful wonderful junk.  It was fun to pick Calvin's brain about living above the shop, flood planes and other LSR relevant stuff.  All I really wanted to do all weekend was rock the Crosley till a couple of wheels left the ground.

Speaking for the start line crew.  Its a long weekend but it sure as hell aint work!

A big thank you to the Maxton Volunteers and the ECTA full timers. I made 7 runs too and missed 4 gears in the process...a record I am not proud of. But the Rev limiter did its job and I did not make an oily mess for everyone. We left with a couple of records so we are satisfied with our progress. We had a great time, enjoyed short lines and met some interesting and helpful people.

Charles and Kix thanks for the advice. The guys with the injected Miller dirt tracker were a lot of fun while we waited for the fire truck. I am in awe of the people that ride motorcycles at Maxton...the speeds and the skill it takes are amazing.

Lots of work to do on the 2100. Hope to make it in June.

Thanks again,

Bill I was watching my in car and the frame timer and it looks like from the time I got on the gas it took 16 seconds from first to fourth gear and a total of 28 seconds from hitting the gas and pulling the chute.

Those shifts where not by best.. let me edit the other runs and post tomorrow,, one of them was a bit busy in the cockpit as I had excessive tire spin and the steering, shifting and setting up for my desired line for 3rd and 4th gear had me miss one shift point by 200rpms and that cost me 1 mph. 

Some will tell you early shift points dont matter,, but I feel it does and most of my in car footage can prove that launch and shift points do matter.

Talk to you later.
