et1170 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thought I would bore you a bit with a brief history of my bike , where the bits come from etc. The engine came from a tired gsx1100et I got from Birmingham on Eblag for £400 in 2011 ish, he had a Kat too so may be on here? I 1170`d it , got a flowed head from Eblag for £200 , long swinger from Eblag , won kit from........... the theme is Eblag here. and managed 9.91 which I was happy with, 12 Quote Link to comment

et1170 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Had a few runs with eblag slick , 2 step and lock up clutch , bars were from a reputable old skooler , thanks clive. managed 9.8 at 145 and will go back to this set up , maybe next year. Fancy a turbo over next winter! Them bits all removed now so I can do some consistent slower times in the et bike championship. Daughter and as was junior sprinter son in the background. 5 Quote Link to comment
et1170 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 My first real go at proper drag racing last year in the et bike series. 4 rounds at scr and 4 at the Pod. A great variety of bikes and a nice bunch of people and got hammered at every event. My times were around the 10.7 mark which I could hit fairly consistently. The entries were the highest out of all the bike classes at most events . I managed to sneak my way into the final at a couple of events at the Pod but finished runner up twice. My consistency gave me 2nd overall in the SPRC . I only lost out in the final of the final round to Wayne Bradley on his bmw due to a dodgy red light, I know I never rolled back! A win in that final would have given me the championship. Not bad for my first year. 6 Quote Link to comment

They don't filter that well, they don't flow that well, you get all sorts of funky behaviour with the pulses reflecting off the chrome end cap, and if they don't have an internal bellmouth, they just don't meter very well. I used to run the Vance and Hines K&N style filters, which at least have an internal bellmouth. When I fitted the Mikuni Bellmouths and Ram Air socks over the top, the difference was night and day. 2 Quote Link to comment

et1170 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Few pics from today. Ready for the pod. 8 Quote Link to comment
et1170 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Had a great weekend at the Pod. In Friday qualifying I was a bit rusty and ended the day in 9th place after an 11 second first run and a 10.8 breakout . The weather improved Saturday and with the headwind now a sidewind I ran a 10.6 to breakout again! Last chance to move up I dialled in 10.65 and ran 10.74 which was a relief. I ended qualifying 8th in a 15 bike field. in round 1 of eliminations on sunday I was up against Chris Neary on his busa turbo. He had been having issues and did again as I ran 10.71 on a 10.69, happy with that. Round 2 was against Dave Grundy on his very consistent Triumph . A couple of wheelies for him and a 10.66 on a 10.65 and I was into the semis. Alfie Udall on his Harley dragster was up next. I lowered my index to 10.62 and ran 10.68 with Alfie having some problems I found myself in the Final against Phil Pratt on the lovely Satans Lady Suzuki 1000. I left the 10.62 dial in but the wind was slightly up and I ran a 10.72 giving Phil a fairly close run , but the better man won on the day, with 3 9.04 runs on the trot with a 9.03 dial in he was almost un beatable. Got a trophy for the winged hammers thoughand had a good weekend of beers and racing so cant be bad. Edited April 17, 2017 by et1170 added pic 11 Quote Link to comment
