Went to Lebanon Valley yesterday for a track rental. Didn't get as many runs in as I would have liked but I did what I wanted to do. When we first got there a guy wadded up a Ford GT pretty good down at the finish line and we had to wait an hour for them to clean up. I got 6 runs in though. I don't have my NHRA license so my plan for the day was to run 1/8th mile till I got my 60ft where I wanted it, then hammer down and go for 8s. But when I went through tech they barely even looked at the bike and didn't ask anything about a license so I went for it and they never said a word.
First pass right off the trailer, 4th pass ever on the bike, first time ever trying to go fast on it I went 9.30 @ 155 with a pretty sad 1.8 60ft and spinning the tire through 3rd.
Second and third passes it wouldn't go into 4th gear for some reason even with the air shifter but I got the 60 down to a 1.7 and I went two more 9.3s at 139 and 147.
The bike felt so stable out of the hole and didn't want to wheelie at all so I decided to launch it much harder. I gave it much more on my 4th pass but it spun the tire a little and got a 1.6 60 and went 9.05 @ 158. I was right on the edge and even the time slip guy was rooting for me like crazy.
Next pass I did a bigger burnout and got the launch down and went a 1.48 60
but ti missed 4th again 
and I was stuck with another 9.0 @ 147.
Final pass I rode the clutch out a little too quick and bogged to a 1.59 60. But found all the gears and here's how it went.
60ft-1.59
330-3.97
1/8-5.89 @ 128.4
1000-7.56
1/4-8.97 @ 158.6
I was ready to back up that 1.48 60 and go an 8.70 or 80 but I noticed a cord was showing on my rear tire and that ended my day. Unfotunately I don't think I have any pics of video.
