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!

Nitrous Refill in Charleston WV

If you are searching for nitrous in the Charleston, WV area, we have finally found a supplier for our nitrous Hayabusa! We called lots of shops before we finally found it and are so glad we did as our air shifter is nitrous controlled too.

Rapid Motorsports located at 6558 MacCorkle Ave, Charleston, WV 25304 - 304-925-6009.

The shop is run by a real nice couple and they can fill small and larger car bottles.

Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park

We took the bike down to Kanawha Valley last Friday night and ran 10 passes. The extended swingarm kept the front end down nicely and the grip was there when we lowered the rear tire quite a bit.

The best pass was a 6.4 in the 1/8th and we hope to get it to at least a 6 second pass. This was all on motor and we didn't spray at all. Planning another trip to the track this Friday and hope to spray a shot or two. The sixty foot time was not what we had hoped for and just need to find the right launch RPM for the new sprocket and swingarm extensions. She really ran well though!

With this set up, the bike should run in the mid to low nines in the quarter.

A All Animal Control at Atlanta Dragway - April 3rd, 2009

We fought our way through about 6 or 7 hours of rain and finally made it to Commerce, GA at around 11:30pm on April the 2nd. The traffic was pretty heavy and the rain didn't help any either.

We unloaded the bike and filled our Nitrous bottle and purchased some VPC16 fuel rated at 117 octane. Brought the bike over to the "Hitman" at MC Dynotec. The Hitman ran the first dyno pull and it pumped out 177hp. He then tweaked the maps and got the bike to a consistent 181.7hp.

He then ran the Nitrous and it created 214.9hp! We increased our horsepower 38 horses with the addition of the Nitrous and controller.

The wind has been kicking all day gusting to about 30Mph and we decided to not test and tune due the headwind. Instead we will go right into our qualifying tomorrow and the weather is supposed to be very nice but go from good to worse on Sunday. Let's hope they push the bikes through and we all have a safe weekend!

A All Animal Control and Rickey Gadson

Here is our run against 8 Time World Champion Rickey Gadson. Our launch could have been better and we lost precious time getting out of the lane. Hopefully we will get to line up against Rickey soon and try it again. Valdosta March 2009 Bikeweek Nationals

Bikeweek Nationals Update

The 2009 AMA Dragbike season got off with a great start. Lots of drag racers at the track and a good time was had by all.
We didn't bring home any trophies, but will take what we learned South Georgia Motorsports Park and bring it to Atlanta Dragway!
Here we are lined up for a run against 8 time World Champion Rickey Gadson. Rickey is a nice guy and I enjoyed chatted with him after he beat the pants off me.
Looking forward to Atlanta Dragway. It should be a great time for all!

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!
