Well, the next time I hit the drags I can only hit 10psi:


and 74-75mph traps:


Oh forgot to mention this is on water?


But since this is an Evo forum and you people still have garbage weather (50s still suck) Heres my next little idea for the car:

I would just get a cheap one from any bike shops, as long as it SNELL 95 and up I think that should be good.

Pegausus has them, but you're looking at like a couple hundred for a helmet.

It kinda depends. If the water is a little choppy it takes a little longer to get to speed, but if its like glass like this no i didnt **** myself in the pic):


this is what happens to a rxt, Jason was riding in this pic I think:


But it takes about 5-6 seconds to get to full speed

Actually Bill, thats a hell of a question. Damn that got me thinking. Obviously its a lot faster when theres less gas in it, best you can do is on a 1/4 which it was at during the pics above while the rxt (on the right) was nearly empty.

I have to get a gps thingy and measure this when i get one. I think they are faster off the line than a sled but who knows, its kinda hard to race them next to each other here.

Mornign fochers, looks like I've missed some good discussion.

Tims project rocks. He's one of the few that is actually doing something different. The research and time he's putting into it, makes it all the better.

Oh yea, one other thing... RWD is faster than AWD.
