Not anything worth posting yet!!! I'm still own the stock length swingarm with no wheely bar. I put the front end down 2 inches from the ground of hoping to keep it down but it was impossible to keep it on the ground. I can deal with it on the dirt but the asphalt was a different story. I've got a 3 inch over stock swingarm that I can get but after trying it this past Sunday I plan on going to probably 6 inches. If and when I get a swingarm and a good run all the way through the 1/8th I will post the times good or bad. Slim

what would be a good 1/8 mile asphalt time for a 686 on gas and stock tires?

Well I did do at least those those times even with it in the air, up in the air in first three gears, on and off the throttle and missed a gear while trying not to loose it. It was a wild ride. Got to have that thing extended!!! Funds are low; real low since the wife left A YEAR AGO. ALL DONATIONS WELCOME. Slim

themoose your right about the down hill slant @ the texas sand drags but a 30' drop from start to finish is incorrect. thats saying you could build a 2 1/2 - 3 story building @ the 300' finish line and it would be level from the starting line to the top on the building. 30' sounds like a soap box darby race track. it falls but not like that. when they wet down the track the water isn't running down the track like a stream. don't get me wrong it is sloped pretty good, but. enuff of my over explaining.
later!
Joe

I've seen ppl run the same time at Texas Sand drags as they did at Atoka, it's not near as downhill as it appears to be. I heard the new track at Little Sahara has a nice upslope to it though
