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!

Bikeweek Nationals!

Alisa and I made it down safely to the track and they have been doing a great job with the track prep and operations. It was crazy busy this morning getting everything unpacked and prepping the bike, but we managed to make 4 passes during the test and tune.



After the 3rd pass I was getting used to the new clutch set up and XXX Racing "rocket fuel" ( 108 octane ). It seemed like the front tire was off the ground for the first 300 hundred feet and it was quite the ride on that wheelie!

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.

My Ladies At The Track

The women in my life were at the track and enjoying the fun in the sun! This was the first trip to the drags for my daughters Jessica and Taylor and my wife Alisa grins and bears the time there.

Alisa is not exactly a drag race fan but I think it is growing on her! She wakes up every day raring to go to the track...NOT :-) I am glad I have the enthusiasm for the both of us!

Our next race will be February 28th - March 1st at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, GA.

We are looking forward to it!
