June lived up to being Hot and Humid, but gave us a window that conditions came around. Congrats to James Hight for being over 200 naked on the turbo GSXR 750. Even if he did knock a hole in the oil pan on the way up the return road. Dean with a 245 on the turbo ZX-10 and Bill with all the 200 mph wheelies to keep our attention. It was a small crowd, but a great time. The vounteers worked hard in the sun for us so a big thanks to you all. Our ZX-6 had a good weekend with a 203.2 pass, 2nd fastest in the World for the N/A 650cc on the mile. We tried for our 184.1 record, but just couldn't get there. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Loring, or back in Maxton in September.
I went 106.8 mph that is my best all motor naked run by 2mph. Great weekend . :cheers:

Thanks Greg, I agree it was a great weekend, but unless I missed something HUGE, there's a little typo in your post :-D
Congrats also to Roy (wrongway) and Ali (shiphteey) who went 220 on Roy's nitrous ZX14 :cheers:
Naked 200 on a 750 is frickin' bananas! WTFG James!
:-oThat is a huge mistake. 183.254 mph for the 6. I must be tired. Eric, I didn't remember the number you ran, but I knew it was good. Thanks Dean for keeping me straight.
Greg you ran awesome speeds this weekend, like always, great job. Put some spray on the 650 and run 200!
Eric, Jarl, Robert ("Club 250") continue to push the limits of small-motor racing.
Congradulations Dean 245 on that bumpy strip is nuts. We will keep pushing the bikes. We had //3 250cc four stroke bikes .1 piston 2 piston and 4 piston.How cool is that?

Eric did you all end up with as many healthy pistons as you started with ?
Glad you all did well,,,
For us it is Loring prep for the next 2 weeks.
See u in September back at The Monster Mile

Helmet Cam on Jarl's 250

cool stuff
This is Jarl Riding my bike. The last shift is at about 3/4 mile and the end of the video is at about a mile. I cant believe a 15 cubic inch engine can make that much noise. Turn it up loud and listen to the wheel hop over the bumps.

Your exhaust tunes sure hurt one's ears at the lights...how many rpm's??? I had to wait for you to turn out in short shut down to announce your speed...if not, all the people would hear was your music!
About 13000 RPM @ 106.8mph.

All the small bore bikes are fun to watch and the speeds from those small engines is impressive.
I think there should be a new 200 club just for the little bikes. Not 200 mph . . rather 200 decibels (dB).
One Ninja 250 with twin megaphones was down right painful in short shutdown, even at a low rpm, especially with the echo chamber we now have with the 'walls' through short down. If I am fortunate to make another meet this year I am bringing ear plugs, headphones, two rolls of r-20 insulation and duct tape for my ears . . . . :-D
Great videos folks. Here's another from this weekend.

We are thinking about a 200K club for 250cc four stroke and 125 cc two strokes
Dean,
Love the video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Great results and videos! Thanks for posting. :cheers:
Anyone remember the orange Harley 2-stroke a few years back?
Not only was the exhaust painfully loud, he had a centrifugal S/C
hanging off the side, whining along... Painful to hear, AWESOME
to watch! :-D :-D
what speeds was Roland Sands running? Forgot to take notice

Thanks to Doug Wotring for contributing the helmet cam. On this video you can hear the engine note change when I briefly hit the nitrous button in 4th gear (at :32 sec) and again when I hit and hold the NOS button in 5th gear (at :38sec). Then just before the finish line I released the button because the power felt like it slightly dropped so my 125mph then became 119mph for the timing slip. But that was still 10 mph over the 109mph old record.
Thanks to the ECTA Staff and especially the volunteers for letting us have this much fun on two wheels!!

Greg and Dean, Thanks for for the kudos and congrats on your great runs too.
It was a fun weekend and despite the heat the little 750 ran great. The new intercooler worked well and keep the intake temps cool despite it being 95+ degrees outsite. Now I just need to figure out how to plumb it into my leathers.
Huge congrats James, the number of people who have been over 200 on a 750 could be counted on one hand, you included. Also, welcome to the board :cheers: -Dean
James Hight, 5 Bros. Racing/Paul Powell Performance, M/BF-750cc; 200.151 mph :cheers:
Kudos to all you guys pushing the envelope that far.....amazing

Thanks,
It has been a blast trying to push these little motors and despite sacrificing a few parts to the gods of speed, it has been a fun learning curve. Now that the 750 is where we want it, it is time to focus on the 600. Hopefully we can push those speeds we before we loose our hometown track here at Maxton :cry:.
James
