Hey Yank, you got any pictures of your old 11? I've always liked those bikes. They were really ahead of their time back in the day. There's one that races out there with us some that has some mild portwork, lectrons, a swingarm, and a slick that runs CONSISTANT 6.80. I'm talking dial it in and run the same time all day and all night no matter what lol.
I am on my home PC now, I do have a few pictures on my laptop but not under the body work detailed pictures. When I raced it was very competitive to the point you couldnt let your bike out of your site when you were at the track. Its sad to say but there were a lot of haters when your on a winning streak. If you left your bike out of site, some how you could get a flat rear slick, maybe a cut air line, connector unplugged etc. anything to mess you up to where it was to late to find in the staging lanes before rolling out.
The most competitive bracket bikes here are the late 80's and early 90's suzuki gsxr frames with after market swingarms. The only issue the GSXR engines had (1127) blocks were oil starvation to one of the rods, which they fixed and I hear now they are running hayabusa connecting rods in the early model GSXR motors with very little machine work which makes them a bullet proof engine.
Lectrons are the way to go (if not running EFI) Lectron carbs are very consistent and dont use a main jet along with being a mechanical slide easy to tune.
They are deadly consistent, stock 1127, slider clutch, lectrons MSD ingnition. and your checking each pass only looking at the thousandth number to change with each pass. An avg. night with 10 passes (3 time trials - avg 6-7 rounds of eliminations) your et may vary .02 all night. This is on a small tire slick 27-8-17 add a small car tire to this equation and the only reason your not in the winners circle is due to rider error.
Now as far as ET racing, its the old huge KZ& GS blocks with wild ass big valve heads but that has been taken over by the new technoligy of the ZX14's and GSXR13 blocks. The only reason why the GS&KZ blocks are around are due to all the old school guys (25+ years of racing and knowledge) they dont want to change and plus all the electronics with sensors scares them a lil. LOL
If you want to go fast throw a turbo and some nitrous on a ZX or GSXR13 blocks, and you will set low ET.s after figuring out how to put it to the track along with holding the front wheel down as you go through the ET traps. I can only imagine 10 yrs from now what we see out of these jap inline 4's when you think they reached the max there is always something faster coming out nipping at your rear tire
