Here is "proof" the 80mph speed is wrong. Scroll down to the ET's in the 5 second range and look at the speeds.

I'm not here to bash anyone, I was pointing out an error in the numbers. When I see a rediculous post like this that makes other peoples rides look bad, I cannot overlook it - damage control.

 

There are two possibilities. With the trap speed listed, he has 3 second potential, with enough traction. Or the traps were a bit off and the given e.t. is correct with an erroneous trap mph.

Either way I still say RAPED APE!!!!!!

 

That's d@mn fast for not having a wheelie bar! You must of been able to break them back tires loose pretty good to keep from fliping over. Congrats on the times!

 

i think scooby is right. 80mph is a 3 sec bike. speed and times are faster on a dirt track than a sand track. 4.9 is kicking butt. i hope to get there someday

 

We don't know and don't care about the speeds. I printed what the tickets say's and never once thought about it. And to be honset if any of you guy's that ran that night you know the computer crashed and we did not get our final no's on our last runs. And this was not meant to fire up any one many people have asked for speeds i give some honest printed speeds. And thats that!! if any one doughts my comitment to speed hop on out to canyon on the tenth and back it up
and the good news is they will have a new computer.and so you know scooby my bike is 7'10" standing on end and it did this all the way down the track.but next time it will be under control and as i know king you do not have the same engine but dont think im your running the same engine in my bike.HEY WE DONT HAVE TO WAIT FOR FOUR STROKE WARS!!! i love loseing to bikes like yours ,randys and jeffs,how do you feel about losing too one like mine???LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

PS the 3.987 bike ran 89.5 miles per. is this more to your liking.

 

what kind of tires did you run? what dirt track did you run at and whats the differecne between it and the sand track you run at?

 

At the same track the same night I ran a 5.42 @ just over 56 MPH...

It seems to me that there are to many varriables on dirt to use real numbers to come up with a speed or time. You would have to factor in traction, weight, length, and rider error just off the top of my head.

AZSAND said another forum member was there maybe he could speak up in his defense.

did you run paddle tires on a dirt track or was it a sand track? the banshee that ran a 5.4 should be mad, a stock banshee will beat that time. was he on knobbie tires?
