    I wanna go faster

    So what do I need to do?
    lowered?
    Wheelie bars?
    Stretched?
    Get some balls?
    The 7 on the scale is 232kg (fat) + me so 334kg (fatter) and a best of 11.18 first time out
    Then went up one on the front sprocket and that helped but it may just have been me getting more relaxed
    Best so far of 11.02, 2.06 60ft ,128.5mph
    My problem is getting off the line 60ft times 2+


    What results have others had with the above mods any better than others
    .
    I want to run the 7 until I build something out of the GSXR frame I have so any advise people

    I would love to become a professional whistler. I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get, like, even better. Make my living out of it.

    This might sound stupid but here goes ..... Do you look directly at the tree waiting for the green ?
    An old mate (who happens to be a kickboxing instructor) told me that your peripheral vision will see a threat coming and send the signal to the brain to react sooner than seeing it straight on.....
    How is the tree set-up when you are racing ??

    R/T has no impact on E/T
    The problem is I can't get off the line with any real power on it just lifts the front

    Have you got the front end strapped Yella? If you haven't it's worth getting some and giving it a go. I went from doing 2.0 60ft to a 1.8 60ft. It took almost 0.5s off my 1/4 time.

    BTW my time on the little gixxa750 is 11.04 @ 124mph. You beat me by 0.02!! Matty Maggoo went to WSID on Wednesday and managed a 10.3 @ 136mph, 1.8 60ft.

    As a rule of thumb, every tenth you pick up in the 60-foot is worth three-tenths at the finishline.

    Your centre of gravity is very high and located somewhere around your arse.

    You need to get that c of g as far forward and as low as possible.

    First step is a tiedown strap for the front-end AND lowering links for the rear. I know lots of people have run happily with just straps but I've seen way too many people end up on their arse when the front-end washes out under brakes or after a wheelstand. Lower both ends.

    What swingarm are you using? The next step would be a set of swingarm extensions.

    Just remembered that Jamie at S&R Pro had a set of lowering straps for sale last time I was out there. May be worth a call (02 4732 2203.
