Now you will just have to find a way to keep those rods in one piece until February.

Hehe thanks

I'll be ready...

PS Do you still have that spare set of carrillos? Now with the shoot out over and the 10s done I do have some time...

To put that in perspective there was a guy yesterday with a Turbo Hyabusa WITH nitrous that ran 8.5 at 175!!!

PS Next time you go back let me know. I figured out some more stuff for launching

I'll post the video early this week. It's insane. It's NOT a drag bike (he was eating those for lunch) but through every gear the front wheel would lift...

Hehe thanks man! You are very correct, it's another game trying to do it in a 6speed. It's different but I did practise AWD turbo launches with my EVO a while back

Just like Stu's car I think with proper set up and good driving 10s are doable!
