2009 = 235+mph on N2O
Tiger Racing is changing Nitrous Sponsors for 2009. Tiger Racing, known for having the "Worlds Fastest Nitrous Motorcycle" on the planet is continually striving to break new ground and better it's own records, that's why MPS Racing was chosen to be the "Nitrous System" supplier for 2009. "We have investigated dozens of systems and found the MPS 'Spyder Dry Nitrous' system to have what we feel will be the epitomy of nitrous systems for motorcycles" says Guy Caputo owner/rider for Tiger Racing. Mike Caputo of Maximum Performance Cycles in Toledo, OHIO (former AMA Pro-Modified racer) knows his nitrous tune ups which gives Guy the upper hand when competing on the track. Guy races the "Tiger" under some of the most grueling of conditions for a Nitrous motorcycle by racing the Maxton Monster Mile at Maxton, NC. "It's a 1 mile drag race without the 60ft times actually. You are measured for MPH only at the last 132 feet of the 1 mile. A sort of 'how fast can you go' sort of thing" states Guy. Guy also said that "Theres nothing like racing the 1/4 mile drag at an AMA event, but being on the nitrous for 6-8 seconds, while very exciting is nothing compared to being on the juice for 18 seconds or more at the 1 mile, that's where the real test of a motor and tuneup is decided" Guy admits that a 1/4 mile tuneup can be just as difficult to cope with as the 1 mile tuneup, just ask Rob Bush that if you think that's a bunch of hooey. Racing Nitrous at Bonneville also has it's own issues that is all together different than Maxton and can't be compared.
"The new MPS Spyder system and high pressure fuel pump and regulator, along with the MPS 62# injectors are going to be the ticket for a 230+mph blast this year" Guy exclaimed "we could even see a 240mph run if the racing gods are with us."
Thats 2009 for me.
Merry Happy Hanna Kwansa to all,
Guy
