Sorry for the delay, Google wasn't cooperating this evening. As far as photohosting goes, Photobucket is garbage, I cannot recommend it to anyone. Imgur.com is free, has less annoying ads, and does not require an account. |

Thank you , Froggy! I also want to thank the arm fabricator , but I'm not mentioning his/her name unless given permission. Also big thanks to Mike1125 for all your help and guidance. This bike will go 9s within a few weeks I have NO doubts. Not bad for an errand-running purestreet with a fat slob for a jockey |

That is the best looking swing arm fab I've seen yet. Kudos! |

Is "Street ET" a bracket type of competition or heads up racing? Congrats either way. Where'd you get that custom swingarm? |

Yes, its a bracket class-where a slight variation in physically riding the bike, or mental miss on your dial-in will put you pn your trailer. I'm still very much a rookie , so often I make BOTH mistakes lol As far as the arm builder, I was originally asked to keep quiet about it, so I will respect his privacy. I'm not at all trying to keep any 'racers secrets' so if/when he is wanting to take credit for his AWESOME job-I'll be thrilled to publicly talk about it... |

Thanks for explanation, I thought maybe the other guy was blowing up or something. ET racing is dang hard, very difficult to run your number dead on....while still focusing on the other guy and trying to play him too. Congrats on your win! Im hoping my first W will come in Rockingham soon.... If youre in the Bristol area, come out in two weeks to the All Harley Drags 1125s are legal for ET and Index classes, I asked the tech director a while back about it If you do make it out, let me know, always love meeting other buell draggers and new friends! |
