Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

What is your best? Last night I ran a 9.24 at 148 mph. I left some on the table with a little fuel issue but will get that worked out and go back. Oh.. I DO have a time slip to back it up.

What are you riding ?

My V8 Chopper

Great run Tom! I really hope to get mine to the track soon. Waiting on a new rear tire. Not sure if I could make it through without having to shift into 2nd. Tom at Mountain said my 606 revs higher than a 502 and I might get to 140ish at redline. Will be interested to see other's times as well.

148 MPH on a 2 wheel bike!!! did you hit the nitrous?

That's all you got ... jeez ...

Just kidding Tom

Where did you run the bike? How many passes did they allow? I've been bumped before because I wnt too fast and did not have full leathers that zipped together or a one piece ... Looks like they let you run in chaps!!!! Maybe not as strict down south? Did you warm the tire first? Sounds like you got decent traction huh? Any NOS sprayed, how many HP?

Don

PS
I want to come play!!!

Nope... I got more.. LOL. Like I said.. a little issue on the big end. This pass was at 148. I made another with a mph of 156 but lost traction and slowed me down. 9.46 on that pass.. The track is a local outlaw track and it`s pretty much run what you brung. I sprayed it with a 100 shot. Bike is pretty consistant mid 9s on just motor.. Come on down Don.. They will let you run it til it breaks or you get tired.

Thats really good Tom considering traction and fuel problems. I think I will probably be down in November sometime ... whats weather like in Nov, will the track be open? Cold temps = dense air ... just saying

Weather can be an issue in November.. Here is a link to the track.

Sorry Tom , didn't realize it was you . Great runs .

Understandable Jack.. It has been a while since I have posted.

You should have the speed and ET lettered on the side panels of your bike

Glad to see you back from vacation, miss reading posts like this ...

TOMMY RIDES THE SAME BIKE ON THE STREETS, NOTHING SPECIAL AS FAR AS HE IS CONCERNED. HE IS A GREAT RIDER AND IT WILL BE A COLD DAY IN HELL BEFORE ANYONE GOES BETTER ON AN EVERYDAY RIDER.

Bill, if nobody reset the top speed on the gps you will see 139 mph. That was all I could get without shifting. John

Thanks John, but if I had known you were abusing the bike like that I would never have bought it. I always accelerate super gently, never exceed the posted speed, and never, ever over 60.

Very impressive,Tom. You will be knocking on the 8's before too long.
