Go Fast, Legally!!

All good advice.

I may do a new throttle before next year, not sure yet. The goals I had in mind for my bike are

Daily Driven bike that I can run mid-deep 9s in street configuration without impacting the cornering ability or operation in any way with "race only" parts.

What I don't want is a drag bike that I can ride daily.

There is a subtle but distinct difference. I've owned race cars that could be street driven, it sucks to daily lol.

@IMFASTTOO Nice write up. I was doing FAT burnouts before the runs, rolling the bike onto the sides of the tire, so they were definitely warmed up. Im pretty confident in blaming the track prep or low temps, tire broke loose at 53% throttle at 3500 RPM. Really shouldn't have spun on a prepped track with VHT down.
Strapping the front end crosses the line from street into dedicated race vehicle, nothing wrong with doing it, but I won't do so. I don't really have wheelie issues, because I don't chase the throttle out of the hole and I don't pop the clutch.
Was trying to shift at 8K, but habits lol. Going to take some time to relearn the new noise, I'll have to get my shift light actually installed before the next event!

Sorry for the quality, isn't my video. There's a video of me running a ZR1 @ 700hp.

If you listen closely you can hear the spin through the 60' into a short shift to 2nd.

I was explaining to my Wife at dinner last night about Rob's adventures with customization and how we all follow his activities. I told her he is one of the guys who is extremely knowledgeable in tuning and he generously shares his work so we can copy some of it. She wanted to know and so do I, what does Claviger mean ?
 
AH! Well, thanks for the compliments, I'm just a nerd, with time and determination :)

Claviger has roots in my youth. I was looking for a new online name to use without any modern day pop-culture ties.

Cracked open an old english dictionary to find a neat word that isn't used in modern times.

claviger
(ˈklævɪdʒə)
n
a key- or club-bearer

In my case, I mean Key. It also has a secondary meaning of guardian or gate keeper.
 
I've never drag raced mine, I already assumed I wouldn't do good the first time. Practice makes perfect, same as anything. Blew a lot of sportbike guy's minds though, lol, had a guy follow me in to where I was going, asked, "dude, what the hell is that?".
