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.
