Things are looking a little shaky for me. I've got a very important meeting to attend on Monday afternoon. So it seems that racing on Sunday could be somewhat difficult given the fact its a 7 plus hour drive back home. What I'll likely do is pay for both days in street ET and collect the points without racing just like Billy did several times last year. I don't like the process of not at least "taking the track" to earn points but I see it netted a lot of "unearned" points for Bill last season so why fight the system.

See you guys Friday morning.

Bill won't be the only one thrashing around up to the last minute. Yeah, i know, its not a Honda but this one belongs to the wife so if its not done in time, you may not see me at all. Lol. Happy wife, happy home.

Me to Dave, all I can do is wait for reports as there is no live feed at this round, they are only covering the finals in November.

Also, please keep our friend BayBay Yarbrough in your thoughts and prayers, he sure needs it as the new season gets under way.

Good luck to all you guys and stay safe.

Sam.

Neither Bill or I made any passes today. I think Trey made one but hasn't gotten a handle on Purple Rain yet. Both Wilbur and Larry made the first official time runs. I can't remember what either ran.

Bill is still tying up loose ends on his bike. Both of us will probably make tomorrow's one time run to get dialed in. Hopefully Trey can take Purple Rain at that point.

Good Luck guys!

Live feed on Dragbike.com.........not the greatest quality on my PC

Thanks for the link, Ralph. Pro ET is running right now, with street ET up next..

Not a great day for most of the group. Most of us out after the second round. I'm still learning how to launch a bike that's strange to me. We had a very strong head wind for second round. I dialed up 2 tenths and ran 4 tenths slower than my previous pass. Bill got a kick back from his bike that's kept him from competition. Our texas connection is learning to harness the new found power in what was purple rain bike. Pops has stories for all. Hoping for a better tomorrow.

Jon, hold that rear brake! What are you riding?

Good luck tomorrow to all. Have fun.

kmb69 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2016, 06:53:02 pm »

Jon, as verbose as you normally are and that's all we get?

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #20 on:** April 09, 2016, 09:16:54 pm »

Jon came off the trailer and cut a perfect light on his first pass! Trey went 11.99 @ 117+ @ and 7.8 and 7.9 1/8s. Damn kicker hit the inside of my knee joint, back side, damn no kicking the 836+ but its on YouTube running at Honda836+ Lol. Larry's so nice, I'm riding his stocker tomorrow! K. Wilbur, Larry, and new guy Mike all having big fun like the rest of us, bedtime, Bill. Frank went out on a .003 red 2nd round.

scottly · « **Reply #21 on:** April 09, 2016, 09:20:14 pm »

Think I heard that Frank ran an 8.89?

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #22 on:** April 10, 2016, 03:50:08 am »

Not sure....not on a SOHC though! Lol. Bill

jweeks · « **Reply #23 on:** April 10, 2016, 04:53:43 am »

Frank's first pass was a 10.5 on his Honda. My Hondamatic has two cylinders formerly owned by Vic Force.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2016, 08:01:22 am »

Jon, glad you have YOUR bike. Thought maybe Bill had you on one of his.

How much ET is still left in Purple?

Bill, you gonna be bored LOL. ONLY 7 months left until the finals!!

All, have fun. Be safe. Move on to the next round.
