See, Frank no throwing away z clutch, check tip of pipe angle,I just launched, feet up, but fingers still on lever, this was 2nd run where it spun, Vic Force said it cost me a tenth, see the black mark the rear tire is leaving, still ran 10 58 @ 124.73! See how by my body engish I'm correcting for it. Commerce this weekend, Wally race!!

That's one snazzy shirt Wilbur is wearing!

Keep the pics coming, Bill.

Maybe there was something on the track that caused you to spin"? It was still a great pass. Love the mph. My bike will never see those numbers.

Finally got the old KZ dialed in for Crazy 8's.

Bill you do have that shift light wired up ?? I can still see that BIG SUN DIAL BLOCKING YOUR VIEW. When you shift on the RED LIGHT in your eye you are still looking straight down the track and not a needle moving up and down 4-5 times.

I Got three dayz coming this weekend watching the RED FLASH. Hope it's not on the tree !!!!!!!

I'm glad to see everybody enjoyed their weekend, well done.

Hey Billy, what's the story behind the trailer?

Cheers,
Brian

Saw,it on Facebook today, thought you might enjoy! Lol

Yes, there was something on the track Saturday. I've got the video to prove it. Bill spun a couple of pairs ahead of me. With about 42 hp at my rear wheel, going sideways 10' out was unexpected. We were both in the right hand lane. About 4 bikes in a row spun in the right lane before something was cleaned off of the track. Forget about my racing as it wasn't with 4 cylinders.

Jon, I'm just glad you were able to gather it up. Scared the heck out of those of use watching you do the "dance". Don't try it at home folks.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #188 on:** September 22, 2016, 02:45:49 AM »

Larry....post z video please and the twin 10's pass also! Thanks, Bill

Bill,

Good luck at the Wally race. Sure would be great to see you win that little man with your SOHC. Unfortunately, I don't think I can make the trip. I really need to figure out what's going on with the transmission in the motorhome. We've got a few more events this season that I'd like to use it for accommodations so I'm hoping for a straight forward repair job.

Well, you now know what your goal is for the last 2 races of the season in street ET and the number to shoot for in super eliminator. Best street ET number is now 10.34, but the good news is that 10.65 record I set in S/E has already been surpassed by you. You could "potentially" lower it at the November race. Something to think about!!!!

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #190 on:** September 22, 2016, 10:09:12 AM »

Thanks for the kind words. I definitely plan on running S EL!
A new record would be awesome.I'm thinking I can beat the 10.34.....but that 1.38 60 ft might stand a while. Even Chris Wedman was impressed! Lol, still pretty sick so Saturday up in the air, bikes ready though! Vic Force and Larry Romig working on the Worm!

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #191 on:** September 22, 2016, 05:57:38 PM »

Frank, Crazy 8's points are up, you're 7th going into Valdosta finals! K, Bill

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #192 on:** September 23, 2016, 05:29:19 PM »

No Wally race for me tomorrow, still too sick, damn it Gumby, gotta wait another year! Oh well, last weekend was a blast, hopefully points updated soon, Bill

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #193 on:** September 23, 2016, 06:01:02 PM »

Scottly, more pics! Gallery can be viewed at Smugmug /Hotrod Chrissy Photos. First up a tribute pic for Vic Force, Jon Weeks on z Worm! Then our man Wilbur eyeing the light, hint ...go on yellow or you won't see .0 anything! Good progress Wilbur, you're ahead of me in points! Then our adopted buddy Rat Bike Mike on his ST1100, you can see me in the background nodding to my competition time to start our burnouts! Then my favorite of the weekend, trying to be like J. Frank Loney, yep , a little wheelie, yeah! Lol, hope to see a big crowd in Valdosta, c'mon y'all, Bill

Old Scrambler · « **Reply #194 on:** September 23, 2016, 08:40:36 PM »

Nice POWER wheelie

scottly · « **Reply #195 on:** September 23, 2016, 09:25:33 PM »

Thanks for the pics, Billy! (Hope you start feeling better soon; you must be one sick puppy if you don't feel like racing!??

)
Jon, I would like to see the video of the "worm" getting sideways, as well as hear your race report, even if it was only two cylinders!!!

Dang it man!! I knew you weren't feeling well throughout the weekend but was hoping the bug would go away once you returned home. I probably should have bought some meds for you in addition to the tea bag, honey and that bag of lemons I gave you. We're not as Young as we used to be so recovery can sometimes take longer. Take care of yourself bro.

dragracer · « **Reply #197 on:** September 24, 2016, 12:08:27 AM »

Well, so its a picture of a copyrighted picture. Wheel up, rear suspension compressed..

Look Bill, clutch out and my hands not covering it at all. I ain't skeered. Lol.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #198 on:** September 24, 2016, 03:48:19 AM »

Yep Scottly you're right. Frank nice pic, I wonder what I could run with a 1.38 60ft! Larry, didn't see any of you, but I'll check again, Bill

dragracer · « **Reply #199 on:** September 24, 2016, 06:59:37 AM »

Although it was good for the ego, that 1.38 sixty foot didn't help me win any rounds. I found it best for me to find a conservative launch so my short times are consistent and the ETs are close each round. Didn't have time to install my new digital MSD window switch to activate the launch light for this race but it'll be on the bike before Valdosta. Since I don't have a tach, I leave by
sound which is likely now a drawback. One less variable to eliminate.

Just keep working on your launch technique Bill. Your sixty foot times will eventually come down. Now you have another personal goal to shoot for this season.

By the way, I got that picture off raceworks. I believe I saw one other where I had a 10.38 dial in from my loosing round against Joey on Saturday. I red lighted--- crap.
