I did a terrible job taking video of the car all day. I got a new mount for the gopro, but only stuck it inside for a bit. Ill do better next time, whenever that may be.

I'm so annoyed I didnt see any of your passes. I HEARD them while checking cars in but couldnt get to the line.

You didnt miss anything

That was me in the 500. Good race with the bike, I had a decent launch but didn't have enough to hold off the bike on the big end.

Do you live in Romeoville ?

Here are my photos from the Friday track day.
Had a blast... got sunburned...but it was worth it.

DM me if you'd like the high res version of any of the shots. I genuinely tried to get a photo of every car that day. Apologies if I missed you!
Please tag me on IG @ricof80 if you share the photos.

2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. Makes a whole 104HP at 14,250 rpm and 40 lbs ft of torque at 8,000 rpm.

U live 2 houses down from my cousin I’ve seen your car and a few bikes. My cousin has the black raptor in the driveway

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

And believe it or not, after 12,000+ street miles, 40-50 track days (Road America, Autobahn, etc.) and about 75 launches at the drag strip, I’m still on the original factory clutch with zero slippage.

Small world! So I assume you have the black Firehawk I see parked on his driveway once in a while?

Sounded like 1st gear was hanging

That was me feathering the clutch on launch before dumping it. Was trying anywhere from 8,000rpm up to 12,000rpm. In the videos that I have yet to upload I have a few that are viewed from the fuel tank, so you can see the tach. I never paid much attention to it before, but it does 70-75mph in first gear.

I figured it was a full build tune and weight reduction makes me even more impressed

Thats what I was told at least, but if thats all, it wouldn't shock me.

Yes sir that would be me

That's mine! I'm working on throwing some clips together and can share the vid here once it's done. I have a handful of in car and out of car shots.

As others stated, it's a stage 1 E60 tune with intakes, rear seats and passenger seat pulled. Roughly 125lbs pulled so not completely gutted haha. I'm hoping to throw a radial on the rear and work on turning up the launch RPM higher for next time ?
