Good run, OP. Its always fun running bikes.

Here are the snow tires in action two years ago (and I wonder why the tire thread is disappearing...)

Sounds like a fun race, good job.

even a stock, properly running 99 zx6 would wax my car, let alone yours man. quick google search has them running 10.9's in the 1/4. Given thats a great rider and all.... but even a horrible rider should run 11.5's

I confirmed with him it's a zx6e (not a zx6r, much faster) so I'm looking at solid 11's from him (I'm expecting ~13.5ish from me). It will def take a big f*ck up for him to go down, but his bike is almost like the rabbit I'm chasing when I'm modding my car. I have a drift cam, so it'll def be posted here after the race.

well its not easy to launch a bike, I'll tell you that much. My old ex500 I had, I could launch that thing full out, no problem.

but my SV1000 was a bitch, the clutch was inconsistent, and it was wheelie happy. My first time to the track with the SV1000 I ran a 13.8 i believe at 112mph, haha

I have that video on my youtube account, if you click on the link in my sig, and do a search in my uploaded videos for SV1000

or just look at the oldest videos of mine, you can see my old ex500, and then the SV1000 is a few videos after that.


So it is possible you may get him.... until he learns to launch it.

Can't say I ever saw that combo before, lol.

Bingo! He's very wheelie happy too. In our first race I saw his tire pop up past the bottom of my window at the start, when he wasn't even trying for the wheelie to begin with.

I'm looking at a procharger/M90 (my big concern is needing to run it in the winter), hopefully that will pull him back to at least within a drivers race (I have no clue if it actually will). Or just switch back to racing against his Civic

kinda doin' the same thing...

(M90 is a POS, do not get it. Get a m112.)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm in the VERY early stages of planning, the 75mm TB and 3.73 gears I have are the only hints of a future SC. What's the price difference between the two, if you've looked into it?

Both blowers can be had for cheap (relatively speaking).
