    Posted: 10 February 2009 at 6:54pm
Have been working my way toward Prostreet since  I started racing AMA in 2004. Now thanks to some great friends and outstanding sponsors I am getting to join the ranks of the P/ST class at AMA Dragbike. Tim and Ronnie have a photo thread of the build progress over on PB.com, but I wanted to wake this section up on Dragbike and post some pics and info here!!
 
I am not sure how the rules go on mentioning businesses and/or sponsors, so I better wait to post that until I get the go ahead from Admins. I don't want to break any rules for sure !!!

Darren,
 
Thats sharp! Man are you going to have some fun this year! More info and photos please!Tongue
 
Post away on your sponsors and such, you can mention whoever you want over here as it is allowed and within the rules. No sales, wanted advertisements or product releases are allowed. These type items post to the main DB.com homepage in their respective categories! 
My signature was the same as Fasthouse's signature but then he changed it to some hoodoo voodoo stuff!

Thanks Wade. I am really focused on having fun this year. I get so much enjoyment out of racing, but when I put too much pressure on myself to Win......well it takes some of the pleasure out of it. Don't get me wrong, winning is wonderful...but there is a lot more to racing than just that. I almost lost sight of what brought me into this sport for a bit and now I am excited again. It's gonna be a great season !!!

I am glad it's OK to post sponsors here as everyone knows it's tough if not impossible to get far without help....and the following have done just that. They have gone way above to help me get to this point and I appreciate everything they have done.
 
Playthings Racing (Tim and Todd Ulmen)
RMR (Ronnie Mitchell)
McIntosh Machine (Terry McIntosh)
Bates Custom Leathers (Dawn and Dana)
Mountain Motorsports (The dealership Tiffany is employed at)
Orient Express (Joe Hahn)
Velocity Racing (Barry Henson and the entire staff)
Scorpion EXO (John Reese)
Custom Cycle Corner (David Snapp)
 
 
Thank you all again and I can not wait til this bike is done and on the track !!!

Thanks Doug !!

I finally have some completed photos too. I'll post later tonight.
I am very happy and also encouraged about the performance of the bike in Valdosta. With very limited testing and only two full passes on mild boost we managed a 7.68 and a 7.41. The .41 pass was with a 4.90 1/8th and the data showed lots of tire spin in the upper gears.........I'm sure that impacted the 193.99 mph trap speed.
 
Looking forward to Atlanta !!!!

Not a Busa fan but that is one damn nice looking bike. You did a great job on it! All the time you took to get it right shows. Enjoyed the pictures of the build process. Made any runs on her yet? How she do?

Thank you........I wish I could take credit for the build, but Ronnie Mitchell did this bike for me and deserves all the credit. All i did was select the colors. I did the complete build on this 1000 though.........I have a photo show of the build process if you want to see it. I started with this
