It was a domestic shootout night. lots a mustangs, a bunch of camaros. My 2 favorites were a chevy II that was real quiet and streetable, yet blew serious doors off with 10.4 sec runs. chevy II's wife also runs a chevy II [wagon] that ran 12.2. my other favorite was a daily driver primered 55 chevy 4 door. I guess dude saw "2 lane black top" and decided to live the experience. had a really nice exhaust note to it.
this is a motorcycle board isnt it? oh yeah.. 4 bikes showed up. one vintage kz 900 or 1000. he had trouble launching. starting with his feet off the pegs, if it didnt bog and wheelie, he have trouble finding the left side footpeg to snick it into second. his best pass 12.9 at 101. I would have tried to launch with my left foot on the peg if i was him.
one of the first guys there was on a blue and silver busa. It looked stock. He made more passes than anybody. pretty consistent at 10.5 133 +/- 2. he never did burn outs and only wheelied once. one time i thought he's got himself another kill when he pulled up next to a mustang, and son of a gun, the stang ran 10.2 . must have had a few more ponys than stock under the hood.
half way thru the evening a zx12-r with a noisy pipe showed up. He felt the need to do burnouts . and after burning out he'd do a little wheelie that seemed to spook him when he launched. he had better final speeds than the busa but i don't think he ever beat him.
and the last bike to show was a copper colored busa that ran a 10.3 something.
they have a bike shootout night once a month but i think i'd rather take the beastly concours on a night when the squid factor isn't turned up to 11. If i can get a 13.75 out of it [magazines get 12.4 i think], i would be pretty happy.
its $10 to watch and $15 to race. anybody interested?
