GSXR 1000 1/4 mile drag

07/17/10 in Albuquerque, NM
My bike: 2003 Suzuki GSXR1000 (only mod is full exhaust, Yoshimura RS3) I was also running a full tank, and these are my first tries at drag racing.
Brandon: 2009 Honda CBR600RR, no mods.
Clip 1. Me vs. Brandon, I win at 11.36
Clip 2. Me vs. Hayabusa, I win at 11.08
Clip 3. Me vs. Hayabusa, I win at 11.01
Clip 4. Me vs Hayabusa, I win at 10.97
Clip 5. Brandon on my bike vs. CBR600, he wins at 10.67

Future mods for better times:
-Michelin 2CTs. (I kept slipping off the line with the factory Dunlop Q's, and slipped with every shift.
-Power Commander for a better sync between bike and Yoshi exhaust.
-Less fuel on the track, for better weight.

@THECASHKLICK13

Lol no the USMC bought this for me dude. I did 6 years in Iraq to buy this. I did work for mine.

i'm not a drag junky.... To prevent a wheelie in 1st and possibly 2nd, do you only do 1/2 - 3/4 throttle until 3rd? Do you redline 1st and 2nd?

@yourleftnut1

I use tension straps to pull down my front end, and even that still makes little wheelies. So, yes mostly I low throttle til about a half second after launch when I am stable. Also keeping your weight towards the front helps.

What kind of 60ft times are you guys cuttin? You should be running mid 9s with those bikes. My 08 600rr cuts 1.4 60s 6.3 1/8s and 10 flat 1/4s on a little 30 shot of spray. Which means your still making more power than me.

@Maverick60ft

At which elevation? We are at 6,200 feet here (more than a mile) in an arid desert. It's dry, hot and less dense. The fastest regular octane vehicle I have seen here plugged in a 10.7. A 1972 Chevelle. It takes alcohol to get anything lower. Modded WRX TSi, with a decent driver, got a 14.2. It's rough up here.

@The5upraman

The elevation were at also kills ALOT of the bikes HP because it's such a high compression, small engine. But, it's a new season. Maybe things will change!

[The5upraman]

Lol I was gonna say that bike is no where near tact. The 2nd rider opened it up a lil better I have an 03 gsxr 1000 heads exhaust and intake and i steadly run 9.9s. That also comes with experience ull get there man.

Before the drag year was over I put the PowerCommander in, put in Ivan's TRE, new Michelin tires, and did the PAIR valve mod to the bike (i can explain how it's done). Now I get 10.6's myself and I weigh 190. Also this is at 6,300 ft elevation and 80 degree weather. Hopefully I can go somewhere low and colder next year to check my sea level times. I hear I should get 9's.

ya u were gettin better  good stuff, 10.9 is impressice, 10.6 more so, i have same bike with few more rides 130lbs, and been racing drag for yrs , hopefully i hit 10s, so much fun u mite do better with that tune in with the yosh, power commander if u care that much
