The Ohio Mile July 2013 A All Animal Control Racing Team Report

Wilmington Weather Woes and Breaking More Records!

If there ever was a bad weather weekend for racing, July 6 & 7 had to have been it. We arrived early at the track on Friday and fought the rain for most of the way there from Hurricane, WV. We left Hurricane and ended up in a Monsoon!

The weather was so bad that we had to tech bikes in the trailer and then we were lucky enough between breaks to run them down to the tech lane. Tech went fairly well, but we had to “adjust” the rear brake a bit to ensure enough travel.

The next morning we were up bright and early to welcome the rain once again. The radar shot looked like the entire Gulf of Mexico was being dragged up North and was going to rain on Ohio for another week as a high pressure system was stalled off the East coast preventing this low from moving off shore.

But, we loaded up our breakfast sandwiches that the folks at the General Denver hotel make special for us and went to the track anyway. A mandatory drivers meeting is held each meet rain or shine. As we all stood around with our umbrellas during the meeting, a canopy was hastily assembled and most of the people took advantage of it.

Drivers meeting complete, it was time to go back to the pits and see if there was anything else that needed to be completed. The tires were checked, the swingarm filled up with nitrogen and then the waiting began once again.

FINALLY, in the afternoon the weather broke and we were able to make a shakedown pass. This was only a motor pass and somewhere about the half mile and at 168mph we disintegrated a bird when it hit the bike. I know we are in the bird control business too, but this is not exactly how we prefer to do airport bird control!

The rain came once again and that was the end of Saturday.

Sunday came with another 5am wake up and we were off to the track for gates opening at 6am. The early bird was going to get the worm today! The sky looked like a tornado could whip out of it at any moment, but the rain was holding off so far.

The bike was 4^th in line and when the turn came to go, we launched and poured the wood to it. The humidity was so high that about 50 yards out Mark E. Dotson’s helmet immediately fogged up to the point that visibility was challenging. It cleared up a little, but with the nitrous coming in at 2^nd gear, you really want to actually see down this narrow course at 200mph. At about the ¾ mile marker, the shield was still a little hazy and he rolled out a bit and then got back in it and rolled through the traps at 220mph to take the MPS/BF-1650/4 record.

After a quick change of the nitrous bottle and weighing it, there was an issue. We were 9 mph off to begin with and the next pass would confirm if there was a problem.

Got the bike back on the tire warmer and in the pre-staged area. Waited for the tire and nitrous to get up to temp and for our turn to go. The weather was still holding and the bike pulled to the starting line. The launch went well and the shift points were hit beautifully. The bike just didn’t seem to be pulling hard and ran through the traps at 223mph. This pass put us in the record books again by beating the old MPS/BF-3000/4 record, but confirmed that something was not right.

After reviewing the data and weighing the second bottle, it was only just over a pound used. The tank was pulled up and the nitrous solenoid was swapped out with a new one. Changed out the bottle, pumped the swingarm up and ran back up to the line as the day was getting late. Put the bike back on the warmers and then the rain started once again. A bike cover was hastily put on and the laptop pulled out and a map change was made back to the original map. We figured that if the beginning of the nitrous problem was at the last event and fuel was taken out and this new valve worked, we were going to be picking up pieces of this motor on the track for the next week if we didn’t go back to a fat map.

The rain stopped and the track dried. We were just about to finish with the tune and pull the bike off the rear stand when we got the news that a rider friend of ours went down on their bike at over 200 but were OK.

We now hold ALL the Modified Partial Streamlined Fuel and Blown Fuel Records from 1350cc through 3000cc!

In September we will be defending our title of The Fastest Street Legal Bike in The Nation!

A All Animal Control Racing Gearing up For 2013 Race Season at The Ohio Mile

 

A All Animal Control racing is gearing up for their first race of the year at The Ohio Mile in Wilmington OH April 27-28, 2013. The bike is being assembled and the final tuning done at this time. With less than two weeks to go, we must have everything ready to go quickly!

With Bill Deshong’s great motor building ability and Justin Douchet’s tuning skills, the bike made 204 HP on motor and 305 HP on the nitrous. This is a significant increase from 2012 and will hopefully be enough to break the 230 MPH barrier on nitrous in the mile.

With the help of some great sponsors, the 2013 racing season is almost underway.

A Special Shout Out to Nova Rubber!

The folks at Nova Rubber in South Charleston, WV have always been great to work with. These guys provide me with any kind of line that moves fluid, gas, oil or air. If it can be made, they will make it for me. They have been instrumental in solving all my fitting and hose problems and their equipment holds up at 200 plus MPH!

The quality of my air lines alone are incredible. I will come back from a race and the lines will hold air for months. There is no bleed down while you are sitting in the lanes.

If you need any type of fluid or air connection or lines and fitting, this is only a part of what they do. I purchased my hose reel for my nitrogen tank from them and it is a great addition to any race trailer to keep you organized and efficient.

Give them a like on Facebook and visit their website at Nova Rubber.

Thanks for all that you do guys!

CEO of A All Animal Control, Mark Dotson, named Person of the Week

Born February 10, 1966 in Danville, Indiana, Mark Dotson’s passion for motorcycles started with a desire to customize his bicycles. Though Mark never owned a motorcycle as a child, he lived the motorcyclist life vicariously through a neighbor who taunted him as he road his dirt bike day after day. That neighbor planted the seed for Mark’s road to racing.

Mark was nineteen years old before he got his first motorcycle, a 1980 Yamaha 400 Special. He rode the bike everywhere and a year later stepped up to an ’81 CX-500 Honda. While riding with a friend in Southern Indiana, Mark traveled through a town named Bean Blossom. He looks at that trip as fate, putting him in the right place at the right time. Their accidental ride through Bean Blossom found them right in the middle of a bike rally called the Bean Blossom Boogie. The rally included an all-Harley drag race at a local outlaw track that Mark swears wasn’t even an 1/8th mile long. Mark and his buddy purchased tickets and went in to check it out. It didn’t take Mark long to talk the promoter into letting them race their Honda’s against the Harley’s. The hand wave start grudge races proved easy so Mark and friend started beating up on the Harley’s. The event sparked Mark’s interest in drag racing, one that took many more years to ignite.

Mark finally started drag racing at his local track in 2008 on a ten year old Suzuki Katana 750F. After a few months of getting beat up by bigger bikes, he upgraded to a new Hayabusa to level the playing field at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park. The next year Mark felt he was ready to jump straight from the frying pan into the fire by joining and racing at AMA Dragbike national events and starting his own team called AAAC Racing Team. That led to attending a Rickey Gadson’s drag racing school , which was a huge help in learning to launch, decrease 60’ times and get down the track quicker.

A All Animal Control Racing in Atlanta Doesn't Pan Out

(April 12, 2010)-- The need for speed didn't pan out for the A All Animal Control Dragbike Racing Team this past weekend in Atlanta, Ga. Evidentially, a faulty oil pan was the culprit for the team's setbacks.

" Friday test and tuning turned up a serious problem. When we were slowing down on the big end, the oil light would come on and the motor would shut down immediately. Which is a good thing that you want to happen to keep from blowing the motor up!", states AAAC CEO Mark E. Dotson. He continued, "We pulled the oil pan and found the swinging pickup arm was sticking. After a careful cleaning, it seemed to have freed up and we put it back on the bike. Alisa was manning the generator and lighting systems while handing needed tools."

Dotson elaborated, " We worked till about 11pm on the bike and took it for a short ride with no more light coming on. Saturday we made our first qualifying pass in Street E.T. and no oil light. We were breathing a sigh of relief and made our second pass. The oil light problem returned again! At that point we parked the bike and trailered it home on Sunday. Time to tear the bike down and find out what is causing this issue."

Mechanic work has continued all this week, including the replacement of the faulty oil pan, tune ups and trial runs. The AAAC Racing Team hopes to have everything in working order for the Spring Nationals in Martin, MI May 15 and 16.

Racing Highlights From Valdosta

We really stepped up our game at the South Georgia Motor Sports Park Bike Week Nationals March 6th, 7th and 8th. The bike had some issues with the air shifter on day one, however that problem was taken care of quickly.

Day two brought some great air and finishing time of 9.19 seconds at 157MPH. The bike ran great, shifting well. The Nitrous Progressive Controller was switching maps just like it should with everything clicking. As the air became warmer, time began to fall respectively.

Finals on day three included rounds in Street E.T. and a break out in Street Fighter. Real Street was a tough class with A All Animal Control near the tail end of the pack. Day three was the best pass to date with a time of 9.09 seconds at 158 MPH.

A All Animal Control is knocking on the doors of the 8's and hopefully will be there soon. Special thanks to our sponsors: Motul, Strategic Solutions and the A All Animal Control Family for their support in making this years racing a success!

Preparing For the 2010 AMA Dragbike Season

The Busa has been torn down for about a month now and was just recently put back together. All of the logos and stickers have been removed and it is prepped for wrapping.

We added a new swingarm, bigger Nitrous bottle and add some 50 shot fittings. An MSD ignition module and progressive Nitrous controller also were added.

The bike will be off to the dyno soon and wrapping it will complete the layout. Then she will take her long winter nap!

Norwalk - Summit Motorsports Park October 10-11 2009

The Track or Treat Fall Nationals at Norwalk certainly were more of a Treat for us this year! We took our 2008 Suzuki Nitrous Hayabusa and ran a 9.27 in the quarter!

We also went several rounds in Street ET as well as Street Fighter! Overall what we have learned this year has really came together at Norwalk.

What a great year we have had at the A All Animal Control race team! We owe it all to the fantastic Clients, Franchise Owners, Employees and Suppliers that make our program a success!

This will be our last official race for 2009 and we will be posting the 2010 AMA Dragbike Schedule in November. We are going to scale back our racing to a shorter distance and run more races and get more passes for extra seat time.

We hope to see you at the track again in 2010!

Atco Dragway September Orient Express Nationals

The race at Atco got off to a soggy start. It rained 3 days prior to the event and when we finally started running on Saturday, the track was very slick.

All of the high horsepower bikes did not hookup and even the lower powered bikes had a tough time finding any grip.

We managed to get in the second round of Street ET and then turned on the red light on the next round.

Our Street Fighter category was solid in qualifying but not getting a good light cost us the run. Overall the bike did much better and we didn't have to overcome any technical problems. We are anxiously awaiting Norwalk in October to see if we can best our low ET and run a great number!

A All Animal Control is having a great year at the track and improving it's racing program with each event.

O'Reilly Raceway Park August 1st and 2nd 2009

We will be heading out next week to Clermont, Indiana to attend race #5 of the AMA Dragbike circuit. This will be a special time for me as my hometown of Brownsburg, IN is just a stones throw away from the track and family and friends will be joining us for a great time.

If you will be in the area, stop by and visit. O'Reilly Raceway Park

There are a lot of things to do near the track such as visit the NHRA race team shops or go to the Indy 500 track. There is a first class museum there that you won't want to miss!

See you at the track!

A All Animal Control - Martin Michigan US 131 Motorsports Park

This is the way you want to launch out of the beams! We laid down some great passes as Martin, Michigan and had a blast. A All Animal Control of Detroit was also a destination on this trip and we had the pleasure of meeting Cheryl VanDyke and Kay Ellis at their Ann Arbor office.

Looking forward to meeting with friends and family in Indy in August!

If you have a wildlife problem in the Detroit area, feel free to call on the best wildlife professional at A All Animal Control of Detroit!

U.S. 131 Motorsports Park Results

I fought the rain all the way to the track on Thursday and arrived at about 4pm. It stopped raining at 4:30, so I got to work on unpacking everything and getting bedded down for the night.

Friday - Test and tune started at 6pm and the bike was ready to run down the track. The passes were not real encouraging and the track didn't seem to be very well prepped. All the passes were in the low 10's with the exception of one 9.8366 made about 6:43. The last pass ended up with spinning the rear tire as we tried to launch at 6K with a bad track.

Saturday - Started raining about 4am and continued until about 8 or 9 and then they got the track dried out. We started to run around noon and I didn't get my pass in until about 5pm. I was set up against Jeremy Teasley in the first round of qualifying. I launched hard and beat him off the line and never looked back. About the end of the track I didn't notice that he wasn't flying by me and I looked back and he was way behind me. I won that race and found out later he broke down. A win is a win!

Sunday - I was going to the first round of eliminations with Jeremy Teasley again and this time he didn't break, but I ran the best pass ever with a 9.675!

We are gradually getting the bike ( and me ) faster with each trip to the track.

I want to thank my Sponsor - RMShooting.com and especially thank all the franchise owners at A All Animal Control that make it all possible! They are the absolute best!

Waiting On Two Bolts From The Machine Shop

Two bolts and we are ready to fire the Busa up! It seems like it has been an eternity since the bike was running and hopefully Tuesday we will be good to go!

The header and pipe are installed, clutch mod is complete, mirror block offs are on and various other projects have been completed on the bike.

After we fire it up we will check for leaks and any air in the cooling system. If everything checks out we will give it one more going over and then button it back up, clean the machine very well and then put some additional stickers on her. The first race is rapidly approaching and we want to be ready way before it starts in case there are any last minute issues.

South Georgia Motorsports Park

The National finals are coming up November 7th - 9th and we will be out there supporting the racers and sharing some great times at the track.

Our team is coming together and we are getting our gear ready for bike building over the winter. Our first AMA Dragbike event will be in Valdosta in March at the South Georgia Motorsports Park.

If you will be in the area, give us a call @ 304-345-1511 and leave a message with our staff and we will contact you. We would love to see you while we are in the area!
