Manufacturer's Cup Dragbike Series Finale. SGMP, Valdosta GA)
« on: November 03, 2024, 09:41:15 PM »
The final event of the Manufacturers Cup Dragbike Series is fast approaching.  It will take place November 21-24 in Valdosta. 

Wilbur is setting in 5th place for street ET and should cap the season off somewhere within the top 5. He's done well this year and i ask you to join me in congratulating him on the progress He's made thus far. He's figured out more about the nuances of bracket racing and has applied that knowledge every round. The bike has become a bit more consistent with the changes He's made this season. A  little more tweaking and his package will be deadly.

I'm sitting way back outside of the top 10 in the 12th spot in street ET. I'm currently 7th in pro ET and not in contention in super comp. Nevertheless,  I'm still loiking forward to this last event to simply have fun and fellowship with my race family.

If anyone is interested in dragracing,  this would be a good event to come out and support your Honda brothern. Dana Delk will be there with his DOHC CB 1100f dragbike trying to set a record in Super Eliminator. It should be interesting to say the least as he tries to break deep into the 7 second zone. I haven't decided fully at this point but I'm working towards a goal of setting a  nitrous record on the mono shock if i can get the clutch slippage probably worked out this week. A full maintenance check over will be in order to ensure i don't encounter problems while spraying the "go juice". A high 9 second pass is the target - -for now.!!!

See you guys there.

Congrats and best to you both on the upcoming events! It would be great to see it happen.

I wonder if Russ Jr will bring his dad's bikes that he's been rebuilding, to display them(I don't know if he has plans to run them down any tracks, if ever????)

I imagine most of the events that these will be displayed at would be West coast events. The triple did make it to Valdosta part way through the build process back in 2019, which by the way was very cool:
