First time taking the One to the track. I was pleased and I have lots of room for improvement. I know i needed alot more time getting my 60ft times down which in turn will bring my ETs down. These are are average out of 13 runs including making it to Semi Finals and red lighting myself out. .482 light what a bitch Reaction Time on average .558s 60ft Average 1.896 lots of room for improvemnt there best was a 1.850 1/4 Average 11.01s Fastest time was 10.953 Average MPH 128.5 Fast MPH 130.42 on a 11.232 run with a 2.021 60 ft. So over all I need to grow a biggger set off the line i slipped the clutch good not allowing it to grip too hard in 1st out of the hole. Good FUN night and damn does the R1 take everyones breath away at the track. I was like 2inchs off the ground. LOL

O yeah the weather was not great for fast times either. It was 82 degrees and Humid as hell. Air was thick enough you could see it nastiness in the distance. Not ideal for grapping those Low ETs. But I got in the 10s and that was my first time to the track with The One goal acheived for now.:rock Also my bike was lowered since I did not launch any harder then stock height I am not sure this helped me. Should have let the clutch have more meat instead of slipping it so far out. My bike other then being lowered is BONE STOCK. No pipe, no gearing, no nothing performance. Never had the front tire pulling up off the line I had lots of motor boog. Only had a few passes before the elim. so had to go with what was going to be repeatable for time being. Jeff

Not yet I had a clutch problem just got bike back from dealer. It welded its self together two days after racing event. They thought some broke in side of it. It feels totally differnt then when it was new. I think it was fed up from beginning. Jeff
