First 1/4 mile pass on my Turbo VMax

This was my first 1/4 mile run at Cordova Dragway last night. I was running against an 8.5 second bike, so I looked quite a bit slower (and I was) but I ended up running a 10.319 second pass at 136.34 mph. I made another run and lowered the tire pressure to 9 lbs and it HOOKED... a little too well. I wheelied it and the bike slammed down putting a hairline crack in the oil pan. Not too much damage, but it put me out for the night. I guess I should have put the wheelie bars on... maybe next time!

Nice bike. How fast does a V-Max run the 1/4 mile when stock? I know the old ones claimed high 10's, right? Something like 10.9, I believe. Do you believe that is accurate? I had two V-Max's in the early 90's: A 1985 and a 1990. I never raced them, though.

That has to be such a rush. 10 sec quarter on a bike.

That bike is running better each time. Pretty motivating.
