I don't think many have other than the guy in Europe with the turbo BA (sojje?). I think he was in the 11's or equivalent. A dealer near Philly that ran a triple drag bike also had a customer's America that was setup for the 1/4 mile. This was a few years back. He had it into the high 12's but was hoping for low 12's. This guy screwed a buddy on a bike deal after I recommended them, so I stopped visiting that dealership.

I keep missing track nights here... I will have to sneak off to one so the wife doesn't know, she doesn't want me drag racing 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

We have a bridge here that is exactly 1/4 mile long. On desolate days I will stop and see what is the best I can do crossing it. Its been a while but I am going to do it today as I have more finely tuned the bike now. Last time I broke just over 90.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

So 90 on our speedometers is about 80 in reality??
