Also of note, that 4.28 had a pretty slow 60 foot and 330ft time which is completely understandable from a team new to big tyre bikes or just a new bike fine tuning in general.
Agreed.

She sure is making some power down the track with the WON nitrous system though. 6mph up on its opposition at 1/8th mile!!!!
Absolutely right and also of note are the following FACTS;
1) Its only a SMALL motor compared to the majority of others in the class and is approx. 300 cc less.
2) Its currently using approx. HALF the nitrous that the other bikes are adding.
3) It was on VERY SAFE settings, as you'd expect for the FIRST 'SHAKEDOWN' passes.

new HTP pro mod in action:



GREAT shot and the lack of paint shows how time has got the better of Cecil and what a RUSH job it was to get it to the track this weekend.

Unfortunately the times for the last 2 rounds of eliminations haven't been posted for the Pro Mod class for some reason but it seems that Ryan beat the guy who posted the 4.23 in the 1st round and then lost to the No.1 qualifier (who broke in the 1st round), so he 'MAY' have run quicker than the times I'm so far aware of.

I'll get the full story from Cecil as soon as he's in a location to get a decent phone signal.

Whatever the case, it's still an OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT for a FIRST race/TEST.

Another point of interest (which must highlight the smoothness of the WON system) is that this bike uses a Haybusa motor (the opposition pretty much all use GS Suzuki based engines).

Hayabusa's have not been popular in big tyre racing as yet due to strength in the gearbox and crankshaft (something that the GS motors do well). Cecil is obviously taking advantage of the smooth pulsoids to keep the driveline in tact.
Again absolutely correct and I'm SURE Cecil wouldn't have risked that, if it weren't for the VAST amount of experience he now has, of how ENGINE FRIENDLY the power delivery from my systems is.

The smaller motor will be compensated for the high flowing downdraft style head that the Busa uses over the GS style engines though.
True but he's still well down on NA power and 'THEORETICALLY' down on nitrous power, although in actual fact he's ONLY down on nitrous FLOW but UP on nitrous efficiency, which is resulting in an increase in OVERALL power and that's how the power to achieve such high terminal speeds is being made.

There's also the old saying of there being no substitute for cubes and that's one of the main reasons most nitrous Pro Mod bikes (and cars), have given up on adding large doses of nitrous and gone for BIG CUBES instead, as bigger cubes can handle small doses of US nitrous easier than smaller cubes with big doses of US nitrous.
The 2nd main reason for the move to big cubes and small nitrous, is the lack of control over BIG HITS of US nitrous, compared to the relatively easy control over the NA power.
However, when using a WON system, NEITHER of these is an issues as the same rules don't apply.
