The Maxton Land Speed Race event had its share of challenges from high temps and humidity to being over geared for the power we had onboard.The first pass on motor pulled a 180MPH top speed which was good. The 2nd pass we poured the Nitrous to it and ran a 197 in 5th gear. That was not good. We need 6th to get us in the 200 area.
We changed out the rear from a 38 to a 40. On the next pass we only picked up a mile an hour. We were going in the right direction but not good enough. So a change from the front 19 tooth to an 18 was in order. The bike ran a little faster but we were banging off the rev limiter. Not good! We picked up speed and went our best pass on Saturday with a 202.81. That was rather pleasing to see.
Sunday’s weather conditions were due to deteriorate so some Nitrous timing changes and going back to the 38 on the rear was the next plan.
Sunday came and we made two passes and neither of them was in good air. The humidity was 81% and our speeds never even hit the 200MPH mark. So, we packed it up and headed for home to retool for the next meet!
