Hang on till Sunday Jag, the bike is out at Valdosta this weekend and I'm sure Bill will be able to give you the latest update.
Before this weekend, both bikes had run 12.083 (I think) but I think that might change before the weekend is done.

If it goes 11's, it will be due to improvements in rear braking holding the bike on the starting line at a higher launch rpm. Low temperatures wouldn't hurt either.

Sam, Jaguar, best was both bikes 12.05... Bill Calendar Girl 12.053. Sam Samauto 12.051! Ran Samauto yesterday 3 passes....more later, something up with engine...inside, felt and sounded not so crisp and odd sound. More on Samauto later...but, .5xx, .4xx, and .2xx R/T ain't going win races. So Samauto HAS to be checked out properly....shouldn't have made 3rd pass! That was yesterday.
Today had to acclimate back to Calendar Girl, 2 qualifying passes, R/T .009, .060, K. First race WTF, a RED light, BS, yep -.015, my bad. Larry headed off to buy back in, Thanks, Larry! So I promised him no red light, so here you go! K  ;D
New P/B on 60 ft also, old one was 1.863!!  8)

Only the two Frank, twice today I hit air shifter button for 4th to 5th and it came out of 4th, one cost me first race, but never went in 5th! But on the .000 run I backed off! I have a new motto....Never Lift! Been losing, but been giving them away at the top end! No mo, out the back door we go! Stay tuned, and remember Samauto hit hard on the shifter! May have damaged something internally. Bill
