[QUOTE="16kOrBust, post: 11584030, member: 132701"] You need to say "135 out of my car which is about right for the whp [B]at this track this time of year[/B]". Those last few words are key. I know very well the mentality of a lot of the guys down in that area and many of them can't get it through their heads that in the Winter at Atco, Etown, etc, you go FAST compared to 98% of the rest of the country. Then they see guys at different tracks during other times of the year running slower times and speeds at the same supposed power and calling BS on them or telling them their cars run like shit or something's wrong. My brothers and friends and I all run at LVD, Etown, and Atco, and we all go significantly faster at Etown and Atco in the Winter than LVD ANY time of year, especially the warmer months. I actually edited my previous post, though, because I didn't mean to get in an argument. I agree that 125 at just about any track is very slow for the supposed power the car made. Lots of variables, though. We'll see how it goes when he gets his new motor/setup in the car. If he's not running like a car that traps a solid 140+, he's gonna get waxed by some of the bikes these members are talking about that are meeting up with him, assuming they can ride them well. And even at 140+, he better bring his A game and run them to high speeds, because below 150 a liter bike is a monster with a rider on it and they pull significantly harder in the first couple gears than their traps imply, as with almost all sport bikes, and particularly from a first gear roll.
