Thanks guys, on the last run I managed to get the left and right hands working together in unison and the bike to go forward and not wheel stand. I still need a lot of work on becoming consistent(I'm a slow learner).

Pan, you asked me on clues about how to go quicker? I have an answer for you, don't lower the rear so far next time, that tyre chafing must have cost you time.

Go the Red Team!!!

Simmo, two 9.7's ain't bad, but you really need to either:
(a) paint your bike, or
(b) get a new mechanic
I'm sure Simmo's 9.6 is not far off!! Clap
As for me... running the bike a little too low...
Got home and found this!
Well down Chris, just when I was on fire on 9.7s along comes a red bike to knock me off Bugger
Pan B new mechanic methinks after that last adjustment you made I run slower, dropping the clutch at 6,500rpm didn't help
Well at least now you you have to do is look in your glove box to check your tyre well you always wanted a bling under tail maybe you can get a red one.
& back to the drawing board for Glen
Also well done to Guido for kicking Pans ass

Thanks again guys, I went home straight after that (could have had one more run) because i'm a wuss and wanted to leave on a high note, so I did.
Next time i'm gonna try to back it up.
Rob, hint mate, always pick the same lane that the top fueller just did a pass on, a few thousand hp scrubbing the track works miracles on improving grip!

Got it!
Legend, I need you to bring your top fuel bike to WSID next Wednesday and line up in front of me, but don't tell anyone!

Forecast is for
Optimists heh?
I like that! See you there...
UPDATE: we went, got two runs in, then it rained!
Loafie and I went 1-1 tonight before the drags were called off!
Just lots of Busas as usual, with at least one contender too!
Next week!
