Thanks guys,
Finally cracked it for a win.
I couldn't have done it without my fabulous crew chief/wife Michelle, she made all the big calls on the weekend & got them all spot on.[8D]
Thanks too to Shayne for your help, much appreciated mate.

Des, i've said it before & i'll say it again, great fuckin video mate, you're a deadset legend.

Yeah Rich, had him at 60ft & just ran it out the back door.
I cut a better light then he did & had almost a full tenth on him off the line.
Add to that i ran 9.512 seconds on a 9.51 dial in there was no way i was going to loose.:D:D

You don't get that much closer to beating yourself either Papa, 2 thou from perfection,3 thou from first looser...............
Congrats mate, that's a mighty fine 60 foot too.
Is that the best set of numbers so far?
Great to hear of a [GPz]Kawasaki 8 valver stickin it to 'em!!

Wicked Rick - well done mate! I know how hard you and michelle work at this.
Just one question mate, in the photo with the nurses. Where's you other hand, whats it doing and does michelle know about this? ;)

HEHE, yeah, it was pretty close wasn't it.
As for the numbers the bike has run much quicker & faster.
The best ET it's run was 9.34 at 141mph &
It's also gone 147.64 mph, oh so close to that elusive 150.
I was filthy with the 60' it should be pulling 1.37's.[}:)]
The numbers it's running now are deliberate, we backed off the tune a little to achieve consistancy & it works.
Having said that, the motor is only 1170cc & we have a 1428 in the process of being built, soooooooooo it's time to turn the wick up & see just what we can drag out of it before it goes BANG.:D:D
My engine builder reckons with a not so subtle gearing change & the odd tweek here & there we will definately get a low 20 out of it & maybe even a high teen.[:p]
This is definately a health risk for it though.

Hey Pete, my other hand was wrapped around that lovely young girls ARSE.[:p][:p][:p]
Yes Michelle knew, she took the photo.[:0]
