I finally got some drag radials on the car and some C-16 in the tank. I decided to go up to the local hangout to see what was going on. A few people hadn't seen the car since it had returned from Performance Motorsports in Austin, TX. I gave a few people some rides.
Damon (Yamaha R1) and a friend showed up to check out the cars. One thing led to another and a friendly race was set up between the two of us. We went from 35 mph to around 130 or so. Distance was 1/4 mile. Chase car was a fixed up Viper. Garth Weaver brought his camera and we rolled out.
Video Here: Styletto vs R1 (35-130 roll on)
When we both hit it, the R1 jumped out on me about a half bike length. Clicking through the gears with the BL400 goes quick, so by second gear I was even and beginning to pull away. By 3rd gear, I couldn't see the bike anymore. Damon said it was 3-5 bike lengths I was ahead by.
It's hard to tell exactly what all is going on in the video, but fun was had by all. Big thanks to Garth (www.extrememotorsports.tv) for filming the race. Commentary at the end is provided by Dale (turbo busa), which I am sure everyone will get a chuckle out of. Pierre from the last HIBOOST vs BUSA video is also seen in the background too.
