That was very cool CM. I liked how he was going 145ish before he even shifted into 6th gear!!!

 

[GregD]

The 145 shift point was interesting.

He was driving with 1 hand and holding the nitrous button with the other....

My 67 vette would do and honest 157 clocked with a radar gun. Had to have both hands in play and focused 100%

I'm wasting time again today. I got my new laptop late yesterday. I was excited to get it fired up & connected. Started it up, typed in my user name, they forgot to send me my password. Trying to track down the IT guy now.

I had a built up Kawasaki 900Z1 that would do an 11 second 1/4 mile going through the traps at 128, 130mph. At the end of the 1/4 mile I was pulling around 10,000rpm in 3rd gear!!!. Would have loved to known what the top end was????? That's as fast as I was willing to go

I knew the 1st couple of weeks was going to be like this. They really wasn't ready for me.

The KZ's were wicked deadly above 140. Handling issues unless you did some work to them. Ask me how I know????

I'm glad I never pushed it, as soon as I was finished with the run, I just used 4th & 5th gears to get the RPMs down. 130ish was fast enough for me at Muncie Speedway.

That, and the slowdown run was really not in great shape in 79 & 80.
