Agreed - there is no reason to be trying to set records up at ATL Dragway. Especially with Stock Tires.
The car is way faster than those times or MPH would indicate. There is nothing wrong with Dell!

You know what - I actually considered the idea to promote one of my new businesses. www.atlantacontractjobs.com
I am not going to do it. But it sure would attract attention!

Further clarification -
The fact that Joseph ran a 12.5 is not indicative of the cars capability. There were other factors involved.
Also, Optic may be able to hang with me from a roll. But, he is on the ragged edge. He is pushing his Z to the limit. During our run, I heard he fried 3...
The vettes all beat Joseph. At least from what I heard.
Conditions sucked. I think JD ran a 12.5.
However, that Optic Z06 guy has one quick car.
I raced him from a roll. We were pretty much even.
I did not attend the event. I just drove up with the guys to play on the way. To date, Optic...
David,
Who among the 650R community was nasty? Inquiring minds want to know.
And please, we are all a community of Viper owners. If you wish to cast a stone on your licence plate, why not throw at the Vettes.....

I heard there was no traction up there...
Anyone have any results? I heard Optic and his Z06 beat all comers.
I bet that made him feel better after he and I had a little highway encounter.....(he claimed low bottle pressure)
Best regards to all,
Optic,
I will not be going...
But to answer your question - the 650R what went 139 had 570 at the wheels on motor, and 750 on the gas.
Sorry to disappoint those of you who were hoping I would go. I am just not a "from a stop" racer. I have stock Half Shafts, and an abused clutch with 38,000...
Let me see what is on the schedule...I may come up there. But I will probably not run the car.
I will be available for some roll-on fun though!!!!
Joseph, maybe we can caravan up there and I can see how far you can leave me in the dust!!!!

I was really considering Nitrous. However, I am working with John right now on the Venom Twin Turbo package. Can you say 1000 RWHP???
Not a done deal, but we are getting close! Also, I will be skipping the 1/4 mile event.

Jamie,
I have run with several Busa's from a roll. And I can tell you, that the Hoss was every bit as fast. I would bet that one reason they don't time well in the 1/4 mile is traction. I am going to try to take a picture of the bike and I will post it.

Hey AJ,
Maybe I am kinda weird. I thought his bike looked awesome. What a paint job! Certainly not as sleek as your ZX or a Busa, but man that Gas Tank. It is Friggin H U G E. Not that I would want something like that, but I can certainly understand why somebody could. Relative...
Nope, no video...
I was just driving down Winters Chappel Road and there he was making a left out of his subdivision - right in front of me.
As soon as the road straightened out, he jumped on it. Which took me by surprise! The guy is over 50 and I did not expect it...
Maybe an in car camera...
Yeah, it was pretty interesting....Especially since he and I have been smack talking for months! I was actually caught off guard for the whole race. I thought he was just a talker. But heck no. He saw me in the Venom and was ready to go..He got the jump on me. I really should have started...
