I decided not to race the Honda in street ET sunday. After i pulled the bike out of the trailer, the wife asked me why my shiny new chrome sidewinder was a funny gold color up near the head. Well, apparently i didn't notice this during the racing on saturday night. Obviuosly this indicated a seriously lean condition. Because i didn't have any jets on hand, i decided to err on the side of caution and park the bike until i can look it over. I knew the bike was way off the its regular ET but i never experience issues with lean mixture on these carbs before. Now i know why all my numbers were off by from 1.5 to 3 tenths from one end of the track to the other. So now that this race is over, i'll do my winter maintenance and be ready for next season. Happy it now shifts. ET's to be lowered later.
Went out first round in the the index classes. Redlight start in streetfighter(9.50 index). Left before the tree activated. Came back around to the pits and put air in the shifter- they had already called Crazy 8's (8.88 index) to the lanes and i was not there . Had to take a minute to bring the nitrous bottle pressure up because i have to spray the bike to run the index in this class. Made it up to the line and got paired up. I was the 3rd pair out. Bike left good but didn't start to pull hard in 2nd, i knew then i had an issue as i saw the other rider begin to fade pull away from me and take the win light. Only mustered a 9.58 or so on that pass. I remembered that i had not put my settings back into my nitrous controller for this class as i turn them off for the 9.50 index. Needless to say, i won't try doing both of those classes again on the same bike. All and all, it was a n okay weekend in spite of the cold weather on friday and saturday.
