One of the highlights of MSC [Midwest SVT Challenge] yesterday was a race between Doug [BilletFlow] and Hank [HJ16 [banned SVTP member]]. Doug used his Ninja and Hank ran his Terminator [pulley, headers, etc.]
There are a couple conditions to this race.
1. Doug has to turn his bike off and put it in neutral.
2. He is not allowed to start the bike until Hank launches.
The two participants pulled up to the start. Hank staged. Doug staged. The yellow lights progression began. The crowd is hushed anticipating the big moment. Mouths are hanging open.
GREEN! GREEN! GREEN!
Nothing happens. Hank is preparing himself and knows Doug must wait for him. Doug is ready but can't do anything. ROARRRRR, Hank launches!
We hear two things. Hank's headered Terminator roaring down the track and eee eee eee vroom, Doug starting the Ninja. Doug roars off in a heat shimmer that makes him look like the Lone Ranger on Silver. Hi Ho Ninja! AWAY!
Hank has quite a lead and Doug is fighting to close the gap. He's getting closer, closer, closer, but the end of the track is fast approaching. The two combatants cross the finish line in a near dead heat with Hank barely holding Doug off to the end. Ninja ran an 11.07 at 126 in the brutal heat. I didn't catch Hank's time but I believe it was a low 12.
Terminator: 1 - Ninja: 0
Thanks to Doug and Hank for a GREAT crowd pleasing race. :rockon:
