Glad everyone had a safe, dry day. Who got the best gen-1 and gen-2 times? Were there other types of bikes running as well? 10.58 on a Gen-2 is really good...was it all stock? 11.27 is a decent time too for a stock Gen-1.

Excellent pics Buster. Looked liked a great time! So, which one is you?

Thevmaxrider · Aug 3, 2009

I too would like to thank Trevor for a great event!! Wish Toxic would have run better, still tuning in the EFI which caused me grief all day. Went back to my original settings and gained 15 mph. Unfortunately it also caused me to break out so I lost in the final..... damn throttle hand wouldn't untwist LOL. Will post pics once Trevor posts some of the ones Jodi gave hime, gotta keep my promise:biglaugh:

I don't know his name but the winner was probably the fellow driving the blue Mustang with the one headlight! LOL!

Great pics Buster

unk: Going to do some more tuning and go back to the track in a couple of weeks to play around a bit. Toxic was starting to come together in the late runs once I changed the Map!! Gained 15 mph in the last 2 runs, but still not quite right. Going to get the A/F gauge and datalogger hooked up and do some runs down the track that way too. At WOT I noted a huge stumble at 7k rpm that it went through but really cost me time. Just want to save my clutch as they seem to be a casualty for 2 bikes yesterday, Frank's clutch gave up on the way home too. Looking forward to next year too!!!

Do have to say one thing, Sheldon can sure run his Max!! Looking forward to some more time on the track!!

Great pics, Buster. It's great that a 1985 Max can still run with Max's 20 years newer than it. It's a real testiment to the bike.

Brad's bike ran strong and consistent the whole day. It is a great testament for not only the bike but to the rider also ( plus he wrenches his own bike!)

True. Plus, he can kill large animals with it too..very handy if you're out on a long ride and get a hankering for venison! LOL!

Damon has a new nickname..... "Red Flash" cause he redlighted almost every run LOL.....:rofl_200:

Guess that Fazer just wants to GO! :clapping:

tfisher65 · Aug 6, 2009

That little Fazer took all the Gen 1's with consistent low 11's @ 120+. Power to weight always wins.

one2dmax · Aug 6, 2009

Yep, the 1000cc engine he has in there should be making approx equal power to a stock vmax - maybe more (ours makes 133rwhp) in a bike weighing 200lbs less. You would need in the 170's in HP to be an even race.
