I spanked a ricer at the track

[Tim K]

Gonna try to go back out racing by July or August... You race with the MRA?
My race number is 477 (novice)

Sorry for thread jacking

Just track days for now. I'm riding a race prepped '99 R1, so I'm all ready to go modern vintage racing, just can't afford the time and $ right now. Plus, I'm old and my bones break easily!

Just so we're not thread jacking, I'll put my R1 "Ricer" up against the OP's ride any time. Stock it'll run in the mid 10's, and it ain't stock.

That's a metric sh** ton of bike there.

building that bike was the biggest mistake I can recall making, I made it to fast to be fun, I had to lower it to keep the front wheel down which in turn made it corner like crap, had to cut into the rear subframe to install the bottle to make it nhra legal, which made it unsafe to carry a passenger, so now its a garage queen that I have to much money to sell it and come close to even, and the wife wont let me ride it to much, so it just sits.

I love it... I wish I can launch off the lines better though, I need to practice this... How much is it to run at Bandimere for "ricers" (bikes) anyway? This is what my bike.

I dont know about bandimere, but its 15-20 bucks at pmp here in pueblo.
1/4 mile launching takes much practice, and a ton of burned up clutch discs. finding the fine line between a wheelie and a bog is not easy.

Sounds like some nice vehicles on this thread/board....we should start a "Show n Shine" pic thread of them.

$15-$20 bucks... I love that track PMP... I'm a try that before snow starts falling. I'm gonna suck at it ... I'm on that line of burning clutches trying to launch off the line... it is an art for sure. Love watching the pro's (cars or bikes) take off on the line... take off in a blink of an eye... watching'em run and take off that fast... Daaanng.. wish I could do that..

I do not know what is "ricer"... Is it something that goes around a track in the same time than something with SRT, SS etc. sticker on it, but needs only half of the horsepower of SRT or SS

My old daily driver "ricer" used to go 9.8 and around 230 km/h trap speed (about 140 mph) with street tires, pump gas etc - just like I drove it every day back then.
I do not know if that other car in car-15 video is EVO 9, looks like it but they used to go 13.1-13.2 bone stock when we were testing every single one that was used to built group N rally car.

But, in my opinion, accelerating on straight line with street car is about as exciting as watching grass grow. Yes, it changes alot when you are going 100+ mph on 2 wheels...
If you wanna know if your street car is teen boy´s traffic light dream or badass drivers car, take it to a track that has turns to both directions. Cars tend to show their bad sides when you push them sideways on tarmac with 4th or 5th gear.

Btw; some old drag race guy once teached me, that "track" has turns and "strip" is a straight line.

just 2 cents from ol´rally & track racer
