Nobody is touching Eddie on a bike. I was there that night and have seen him put a lot of bigger bikes away on the trailer. You need one HELL of a car to take him out.
Eddie FTW (again) :rockon:

Cars need 500+ rwhp just to hang with a 600.
600's hit a wall at about 140mph due to their weight/aero's.
Liter bikes can run 9's stock, trap crazy speeds and can tap 180-200 mph in stock form.
In youre keeping up with a properly driven Busa, you have a atleast a low 10 second car.
My brother had a 2001 R1 with a Micron exhaust, flattened SOTA headers, carbon fiber parts.
A guy with a 03 Cobra that ran mid 10's said he could stay with the bike. Didn't happen.
He did moderately ok at very high speeds, only because aerodynamics where in his favor, but it was wayyy to late.
You gotta be packin to run with a liter bike.

Ugh....So he put up 4,000 and didn't even run hs car to full potential against a VERY strong opponent? Did i miss something? Like stated about the guy had a car setup for a big shot of spray and didn't run it? Had he run the shot (im guessing 300-500shot?) that race would have looked different
Was this a stipulation of the race or was he just that over confident? (I.E. Stupid?)

I smoked a 600 Suzuki going over the Golden Gate Bridge.
When we got to the end of the bridge, the rider was scratching his head
That's when my car was almost new with only CAI and exhaust.
It only had maybe a little over 420 RWHP. Maybe 425 at best. Just CAI was 412 RWHP.
I had it tuned with just CAI, didn't need to tune it with just ex.
Kodak moment.

ok ok i KNOW its crap vid but here is a busa with a good rider and a shorty pipe and dynojet power comander vs my wifes vert
the car following us is a 11.5 at 121 mph car so you can easily see how hard we disapear on him
You cant see the end but if you listen you can clearly hear the driver of the chase car say dean has him then laugh when i put my hazards on the bike.

You beat the driver.
It has never been to the track its a driver convertible no cage no nothing just a load of horsepower it makes 750 rwhp and 780- rwtq and weighs about 3200 pounds the bike said he traped 142 mph that week so i would guess 144-145 mph trap speed on the vert
lol sounds like my kinda of DD
Nice, awesome dd btw. sure beats my 98 contour...lol
$4k was total pot, I think each driver put in at least a $1,000
Ed on bike did a good job giving them all the 'stips they wanted
and rode his ass off...
As far as car on spray, it works on the track but
he can't hook the car on motor(street) :shrug:

maybe a suzuki katana 600......
It sounds like the bike started in 4th gear..........
a busa can do 100mph in 1st gear.....obviously the busa rider didn't ride the bike to its potential.
I'm not riding bikes these days.
My last bike was a 1969 Kawasaki 500cc 2 stroke triple. Frist bike with electronic ignition that I know of. When you turned the key on it had a sonalert. The audio went BEEP.

The bike I raced looked line a mini busa.
All around smaller including the rear wheel.

busas are comparable to say a gsxr 1000 as far as speed goes. Yes the busa have 300 more cc but they are 100 pounds heavier. The gsxr is 380 and busa is 480 which makes a huge difference on a bike
