Mostly shot with a 70-200 f4. I know some of them say 2006, I just didn't have time to go back and change them once I noticed the error.

I can set you up black_z, my brother builds them, he built the bikes in #'s 2, 6 & 11, all you need is about 30 to 40k to get started. :o)

That first shot looks like Chris Moore's bike from Greer S.C. He races MIRock series with me and Rob Bush...

Great pics by the way.


Gear List? My gear is bigger than yours? Just shoot have fun...

You can always get a stock Busa new for 11k and 6k for a motorhead ghetto stage II kit and make 400hp with s2000 injectors.

You could but you'd lose. ;o) A motorhead will not make that much horsepower for any real length of time, not on a stock motor. You can get a velocity kit and make 400-450 hp on a stock motor, you just likely won't have that motor very long. :o)

The shootout bikes like # 6 & 11 will run mid to low 7 seconds around 185-195 mph (quarter mile). A 60" like #2 will run high 7 seconds up to around 180 or so. They are both turning 500-550 hp, the shootout bikes going up close to 600 sometimes. These are far from stock bikes (the 2 classes i'm speaking of), high dollar oil systems, electronics, chassis, shocks etc... and going that fast will never be cheap.

Steve, after re-reading your post, I see you may know more of this than I thought, I'm always excited to tell anyone about the sport, so I'll leave it there for everyone else. Do you ever run in Prostar? What class do you run in?

The first bike is Willie Herbert, it's an outlaw bike(nitrous, 75", slick). I know he bought it toward the end of last year but I don't remember who from. I know it ran in the 7.20's but I've only seen it run in the 7.50's. It is a cool looking bike. I do think I heard that it ran at the Rock, couldn't be that many bikes like that out there.

I usually make the Gainsville Finals, Memphis and Atlanta prostar races. Currently my bike is making 520hp. I can not ride that well, but Rob Bush from Fish's Customs rode for me at the Rock during Lee's Performance Summer Blowput last year, after a couple runs and tunning we were able to run 6.89 at 210. My bike is back up at Motorhead's shop (Dennis) getting some more work done, hope to make a reliable 580 or so...

I did confirm that is Chris Moore's old bike.

What class are you running? Promod, Funnybike?

Ever heard of Bitter/Sweet Motorsports? That's my brother's company. I'm fairly sure he knows Rob.
