Topic: CB750A Street ET bracket drag bike. A year to build it.

[dragracer]

Damn Frank, why did you go and do a thing like that for?  Now you got me thinking! I'm not going many rounds with a non tested turbo bike,and I am going racing. I'm heading out to put trans in Calendar Girl( hasn't ran in 6 months), but hey,let's try and go some rounds,long ride for a couple nice burnouts and then bog off the line or not be able to launch consistently....so I'm putting Calendar Girl in the 11's before I put Purple Rain in the 10's! Damn,being practical, but makes the most sense. Probably,no I will install Dyna2000 and try to fix a couple other little things! Bill....and you can help me finish the air shifter!!

Sorry my friend but you know i'm always stirring it up. I do know i have seen Calender Girl make passes. I do know you and that bike become one after the burnout. I do know a turbo bike without all the bells and whistles is one of the most inconsistent bikes around as fas a bracket racing goes. I do know for a fact that riding a short wheelbase bike with lots of power can turn into a hand full unless you've got tons of passes under your belt and balls as big as those on King Kong. I also know, as we age, our balls shrink-lol.

Not trying to discourage you in any way, i'm simply throwing logic into the mix. Because this is Sam's last go round, it seems to me the team should be "on point" from the word go.

Now i'm going to put my crank and tranny in the cases and stop these worthless posts. Hahaha

Dang Frank
and my turbo is almost finished and was hoping you would be the test rider for 10Lbs of boost on a short wheel base bike

Jim,

No issues with test riding it- its bracket racing that wouldn't allow it to be the most consistent, unless....

I'm kind of with scottly on this one Brian.  Your list reads like 'the Pledge'.
This is more likely the version the boys will follow -

Good luck gentlemen.
And remember, your there to get the job done, so stay focused. 
*No drinking - except after racing
*No socializing - except with everyone who likes/supports SOHC's
*No harassing the pits - physiological warfare excluded
*No staying up until 2am - (they don't have a clock, just a weather station)
*No harassing your fellow competitors - except after having beaten them with a 40 year old bike
*No carousing with promo girls - Ducati girls the exception
AND ABSOLUTELY NO CHATTING UP THE HOTEL DESK CLARK'S - Sam can't help it...it's the hair & accent.

Other that that you have a good time.

Ok Brian I'm happy to accept those amendments.

The weather station is broken....

[Sam Green Racing]

Ran at 7pm, 72f air, 140 oil, ran 12.33 on a 12.31 dial.
Don't ask the reaction time, I was busy having a nap. Haha.
Back on track at 8.30 in the morning, off out for some food and a few beers and an early night.
Billy ran 12.8 on Calender Girl but pulled a red and didn't really push it after that.

That was during the prep time, Brian. Now it's time to have FUN!!

[Sam Green Racing]

We will tell you if we're having fun tomorrow. Hahahahah

Sam.

[scottly]

Hey Sam, tell Billy not to push the lights so hard; a loss by break-out is more honorable than a red-light. 

[Bill/BentON Racing]

I resemble that remark! And I heard you!! Bill

[Sam Green Racing]

What a strange day, I broke out second round after several PBs and Billy two rounds later, will have to keep you waiting for full report as there is so much to tell.
One thing you can do is check out eurodragster  in the morning.

Sam.

[scottly]

Quick, before you sign-off Sam, what is a "PB"?

[Sam Green Racing]

Never gone as fast.....personal best.

Sam.

[scottly]

Thanks. Well done!!  Looking forward to all the sordid details.

[Sam Green Racing]

Quick, before you sign-off Sam, what is a "PB"?

Bill here, personal best!!
Fun putting dem Hyabusa's on the trailer!
More tomorrow. Bill under Sams login.

[scottly]

Did Frank make it there?

[Sam Green Racing]

Yes but was to late to run the sohc4.

Sam.

     They're back at it today. It looks like the rings on the 915 kit that Bill put into the Hondamatic are finally seating in. They were racing the Street ET bikes differently than last year as they started at 7 PM and ran round after round without the long waits that we're used to. Sam broke out in the second round with a shut off 12.18. He was 3 mph slower at the finish line than normal as he had covered his opponent and slowed some by the finish line. So it looks like the bike has a little more left in it. Using the knowledge from yesterday's racing, they should be a little closer in dialing in the bike for today's racing. Bill making it to the 4th round on Calendar Girl was very respectable. Frank should be racing his SOHC Honda today. I suspect more updates tonight.

[madmtnmotors]

Great weekend! Just got home about an hour ago. As for today's racing... Sam had won his match-up in round two and was headed to round three. Bill was eliminated in round two, so I was able to leave Sam with a full-time mechanic! More in depth reports to come...


just not tonight! 

[MRieck]

Just found this...the first pic too.

Will post the full report tonight if I have the energy. It's been a tiering weekend and at times it was hard to stand after sitting for awhile, bloody old bones and muscles just don't wont to cooperate at times.

[Old Scrambler]

I know that feeling, Sam.............but your the man..........and we're all waiting.  Nice.....VERY NICE....that professional photo belongs on the front page of every mag in town
