wohooooo!

Why do I post these? I guess it's the only way I get to race since I never hit the track.. sorry if this is getting old, but it's just too darn fun!

I was cruising the private test track when about 1/2 mile ahead I spot a guy on his green/white bike popping wheelies and having some fun. Light turned red ahead of him and I finally got beside him. He revved at me..

I didn't know what to expect.. his bike was pretty tricked out. Superwide fat tire in the back (not stock), titanium exaust AND muffler. I don't know about any other mods internally, but it sounded mean. It was a 600 also. Who knows if that 600 was as fast as a 750, etc.. who knows..

Light turns green and he launches nicely and I FREAKING bog my launch!!

My revs get back up and 1st gear was wasted!

By this time he's about 3-4 bike lengths in front. I slap 2nd and start to go sideways, but stay with it and straighten her out. By this time he's not gaining any ground. Hit 3rd perfect, no spin and launch right on his a$$. I had to feather the throttle so I wouldn't hit him. I had to change lanes as someone was in front at this time ( that' why I had to feather the gas to not hit him). We pass the car and I hit 4th HARD and spin like mad . It finally sqauts and .....

I think the race wouldn't have been close if I would've launched right and hit every gear perfect with out spin...

ahhhhhhh, what a rush..

No flame intended...but it's funny tht you have been "reduced" (wrong word) to playing with bikes! That's what you get with 800 HP.

Gerald,

Was you in Tampa, over by 4th street on Saturday night? or on Gandy?, Chuck was there with his red car, as well as a guy with a Silver GTS, I had my 415" ZR-1 out, with the Hoosiers & ET Streets looking for trouble.
We ran a few TT Supras on the interstate, but no bikes. I was hoping to see your car out, so where were you?
I want to see how my 415" ZR-1 with the NOS (150 shot) will do against your car, Either from a roll or dead stop, I don;t care, I reckon it would be **** close race!
Next time you're heading out to the spot, drop me an email, we'll get together.

Kurt.

hmmm... Et streets and N20 AND Hoosiers? I'll probably get annihilated (sp?)!!!!! I would imagine you would nail it and I wouldn't be able to get my power to the ground, I've got Mich Pilots on mine now.

Saturday nite....

******* to start with with a friend.. WOW, 21 year old waitress with an unbeleiveable a** and perfect *******...

Then at 8:30 I headed to Ybor city with another friend in the Viper. I NEVER take my viper there to party but I did that night and it was a blast. I parked in the indoor parking lot and purposely set off EVERY car alarm their by revving my engine.. haha what fun! Then at 10:30 to 3:00 a.m. I was surrounded by hotties!...

Nope, wasn't at Gandy..or 4th street.. Would love to meet up with you guys....

This is the part I like:

So in other words, you're lighting up your rear tires at >100 MPH from in 4th gear? Gad...

Kurt, did we meet? Is the Vette red??? There were some guys that pointed to the Vette and said how it walked them pretty bad right off the line. Sounds like it must've been you?
