Bill's dialed in!! Let's see what that new engine does as it loosens just a little. His dyno run told of big things to come.

Dyno chart with engine spec would be fine

Not bad Bill....not bad at all.

Musta had a fresh polish on that tire to get past tech.

Nice run

OK, one more reason to get an FB account.
Last summer other guys around here riding CB750 and similar that announce rides via Messenger.

I'm not sure who it is but I watched a late sohc750 K win a round. What was that Hayes bike in pro open?

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #9 on:** October 09, 2022, 10:23:56 AM »

Bill backed it up with another 126+mph pass.

I have manged to bluff my way to round four in street et today, will it go another round? 😎

PeWe · « **Reply #10 on:** October 09, 2022, 11:11:10 AM »

Nice to read about Bill's result. It makes me proud as another CB750 owner.

Don R · « **Reply #11 on:** October 09, 2022, 11:20:29 AM »

It appears someone is having a good day going rounds. 1:15 central time and I think I saw you go another two rounds.

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2022, 11:26:45 AM »

I just won round four with a holeshot win, going to semi final round five! 😁

Don R · « **Reply #13 on:** October 09, 2022, 11:36:17 AM »

Stay loose and try not to think too much. That's what I tell my driver.

Aww, man I was rooting for you. Still a great day at the track, and an awesome job representing the sohc guys.

madmtnmotors · « **Reply #14 on:** October 09, 2022, 04:03:15 PM »

Got beat by 12 hundreths in the semi final, I’ll take it! It was a good run, just his was better. Now if I can just repeat!

Congratulations Wilbur and Billy, the older you get, the better you get. Well done guys.

Congratulations Billy on resetting the MPH record. Knocking down my ET record is next. Proud of your accomplishment thus far.

Billy's focus is setting records, Wilbur is out attempting to win races. Keep it going Wilbur.

So is this the 72mm MR big block in the purple rain build thread?

Don, that is Larry Hayes. Dothan, AL. Not sure how big it is. 1080 I believe. He runs old school fuel injection and turbo. With all the power he is making and that big rear tire on the sticky track he has trouble keeping the transmission intact. Very cool bike. Larry and crew are great people.

Don R · « **Reply #24 on:** October 25, 2022, 04:14:29 PM »

Thanks Jerry. I was paying attention after all. It appears he finished third in the season pro open points.
