A All Animal Control Racing Breaks 8 Year Old Land Speed Racing Record!

Once again the conditions were not very favorable for setting or breaking records at The Wilmington Mile. With temperatures hovering at 100 degrees and high humidity, it was going to be a tall order to set any kind of record.

At the last Wilmington Ohio meet in June, the motor blew on their Suzuki Hayabusa and it was quickly delivered to Two Wheel Werkz, a drag and grudge bike racing specialty shop based in Brownsburg, IN. Justin Douchet is the owner of Two Wheel Werkz and tuner of the A All Animal Control Hayabusa. Justin has a special business relationship with engine building specialist, Bill DeShong of Cycle Motion Powersports in Greenwood, IN. The engines Bill builds are taken far beyond their limits and have to stand up to the punishment of land speed racing.

With their complementary skills working in combination, these guys give us the power to go to extreme speeds.

On Saturday morning July 7th the first pass was made and the bike performed flawlessly. On shutdown that was a different matter. During braking the rear end started hopping and made for quite an exciting shutdown to say the least! The chain was loosened and a half turn of preload was taken out of the front forks and a pound of air taken from the front and rear tires. That pass was another record breaking run in the MPS/F/1350-4 class.

The plugs were pulled and the data downloaded. A quick call to Justin revealed some tuning adjustments needed to be made to the fuel and nitrous ratios as well as the ram air numbers.

The plugs revealed the temperatures were where they needed to be and they were installed and the bike buttoned up. It was decided to wait for the cool morning air of Sunday to make the next pass.

The cool air arrived as expected on Sunday as well as a slight tailwind. The bike was launched hard and screamed through the traps at 218.7 mph. This pass broke the 8 year old Maxton Mile record of 218.6 mph and put us in the record books for a 5th time!

September is the next event at The Ohio Mile and Team A All Animal Control Racing will be there to represent.
