Any of the drag racing crew planning to attend/participate at this event?? Only 3 of us showed up for the last race.

Just wondering, have you guys lost interest in this type racing?? That pot of bonus money is still sitting out there for the winner of the street ET event on an SOHC. We're into the 3rd year now. I think it can still be done. Come on out guys.

Busy, busy, busy, but planning on Valdosta. Kenny will have his new beast at Valdosta as well as a booth in the midway and he is sponsoring the SE class, I think. Todd will have his DOHC beast out too. Mike and I already have tickets and reservations.

Have not lost interest in the least. The bike that's gonna take the bonus money is under construction and coming along!

No Rockingham for me this year, maybe next. I'm thinking about doing some touring to the events next year though. Perhaps pulling a trailer? My calendar has been cleared for Valdosta.

It'll be nice to see everyone at the world finals. I'll try to hang out with you guys a bit more at this event. It seems I've always got a lot going on and only speak to you guys in passing.

I'm hoping to have the project F model ready by the so my older brother can ride it in street ET. I might enter it in super eliminator myself- CB/SSN😁. Still lots to do on this one but a lot more behind me so I'm okay at this point.

Good work Frank. Glad you been getting it done. I gotta get busy.....

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #6 on:** August 03, 2017, 10:30:40 PM »

I like the fairing Frank. I have one just like it, uhh will soon that is.

All the plumbing looks good.

The top case is getting bored this week. Transmission getting undercut too. Won't be long and I'll start building an engine for this thing. In between I'll tear the roller back apart to paint or powdercoat the frame. Debuts in November I hope. 😎

Alright, the time is counting down for this race. Who can we expect to attend this event???

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #9 on:** September 19, 2017, 06:48:09 PM »

Unfortunately not me.

Irma has put us behind at work, plus I've got truckloads of tree limbs to get cleared from the yard. Best of luck to all that will be there, have a safe race, and make a good showing for the SOHC/4's.

I'll be rooting for y'all!

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #10 on:** September 19, 2017, 08:01:04 PM »

Bummer. G'luck bro.

dragracer · « **Reply #11 on:** September 20, 2017, 09:02:43 AM »

We'll miss you up there Wilbur. Work and home come first.

Not 100% certain I'll be racing my SOHC but I will enter a bike in street ET one way or another. I wasn't able to complete all my tasks to get it ready before we left town and I may not have enough time to finish, but I'll push as hard as I can to get it done.
Bill might have to carry the single stick banner on his own.

Good luck boys. Have fun and send 'em home.

A few pictures my nephew took of me in the street ET class. I also ran street fighter on my ZX10 and top gas on my Kawasaki dragbike.

So how did you do?

dragracer · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2017, 08:27:39 PM »

It seems I solved the problem I had at Galot. The bike ran well for a 20 plus year old relic that needs attention. First time run it ran a 10.50@122mph. First round eliminations I dialed a 10.50 but redlighted. It ran a 10.498@122.9mph. Came back after the trophy round with the same dial in. I treed my opponent, he apparently spun off the line chasing me so I was able to roll off the throttle for the win, tripping the clocks for a 10.568 ET @ 111.42 mph. 3rd round I drew a slower opponent by over two seconds. Unfortunately I screwed up and rolled a tad too far into the beams. Light came down for me to give chase but I pulled the trigger to soon and red-lighted. I ran a 10.47 @ 123.41 mph on the loosing pass ending my day. Hoping for a better outcome on Sunday. Billy teched in to get show up points but didn't race his bike.

Time slips.

On a 10.50 dial in:

10.498
10.568
10.477

You broke out by .002 and .023. Both impossibly tiny amounts.

Bracket racing is a game of tenths and thousands of a second.

Looking good Frankie. Good luck today.

+1. That's good consistent runs. I'd like to see that kind of consistency in my own runs!

Side by side 5's Top Fuel! K, awesome run Larry McBride and Chris Hand, next pass Sam Wills ran 5.90 again, 2nd time this weekend! Wow! Guess I'll go see if I can buy some more points! SMH. Bill

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #23 on:** September 24, 2017, 12:05:35 PM »

NEW WORLD RECORD MPH, 255.29 Larry McBride

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #24 on:** September 24, 2017, 03:07:21 PM »

Glad Larry's back in the game

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #25 on:** September 24, 2017, 03:34:22 PM »

Yeh, he told me when he crossed the line, he knew it was the fastest he's been! K.

Spiderman has BIG BRASS BALLS to go 255MPH on a bike! Especially within 1/4 mile.... Geez, thats just unfathomable to a mortal dork like me

I would have needed diapers at 150mph on 4 wheels!

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #27 on:** September 25, 2017, 02:22:36 AM »

Cal and Billy, Cory Hogan ran 255 against Larry back in 2009 at Valdosta, they both recorded 225 at half track.
I'm not saying 255mph is not possible but a Nitro V twin recently ran a ridiculous speed at the stripe.
When they slowed the video footage down at the line, it was proved that the front wheel touched down as it came off the bars just after the first beam, shortening the speed trap length by the wheelbase of the bike.
Still awesome speeds though in any ones books.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #28 on:** September 25, 2017, 04:52:24 AM »

This one is real...he ran 248 and 246 also!

POPS 911 · « **Reply #29 on:** September 25, 2017, 06:23:30 AM »

Let's not forget Joey running 227 mph at Valdosta on a NO BAR BIKE and I could not believe my own eyes when I saw those numbers= a true PRO STOCK pass that should be NHRA ........ Harley did sell a V-ROD wheel bar bike in the showroom, that would be a PRO-STOCK bike to the public.
