Right, they asked me for permission to use my bike in the 4 stroke side of the rules. I thanked them for their consideration.

Cool having your pic on there..
I know you don't like rear struts, but your rear shock looks like rubber in the first pic.

Shouldn't look solid.... maybe his wrist is wearing out. LOL!

That's how you get 1.3 60's.

I forgot Kenny ask me about posting a picture of my bike also. I appreciate the exposure on both websites.

Stock type Dual shocks do have limitations but I prefer a dynamic suspension over a rigid set up any day. There's no way i could get decent 60' times, consistently out of this bike without some rear suspension travel. Struts work best on wheelie bar bikes.

I'd have to disagree with you Sam. Any no bar bike works best with dynamic suspension.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2018, 02:56:30 PM »

You've obviously never ridden my Automatic Frank.
Please tell me how it would be an advantage ?

SQUAT on the hit = tire plants , no bumping around losing traction going down the track. Ride a Busa down 1320' with a solid strut and ever hop the bounce gets bigger = bet that.

Don R · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2018, 09:34:16 PM »

I agree on suspension but I think Frank's point was, it appears to be flexed in a scary way. Look close.

Medyo Bastos · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2018, 04:31:33 AM »

Yes, but photos get distorted when videos are stilled for a snapshot. The flex might just be shared pixels from previous and next motion. All good points being brought up though.

Hey guys, my bike never spun up at the hit.
Had I used a line lock on the back brake, it might have been different.
It also never lifted the front wheel or broke loose down track and my consistent times proved that, so why did I need rear shocks?

POPS, would this cause me to loose traction if I hit it at half track at 93mph ?
What are your thoughts on this Frankie?

Close Medyo, it's thought to be an expansion gap at the 8th mile and this is a NHRA track.

dusterdude · « **Reply #22 on:** April 18, 2018, 07:15:35 AM »

Thats not a gap,its a cavern.geez that things huge

That's a picture of Atlanta Dragway. Left lane mainly towards the outside of the track. Sam probably got that picture off of social media where they were torching the track after an NHDRO event. I never felt that gap on my slow Honda because I stayed slightly to the right of the main groove. My wife drifted to the left in that lane and I could see where it mildly upset her wheelie bar bike. I really don't understand why that problem hasn't been addressed since its so prominent and this is an NHRA owned facility that hosts a national event each year.
