Back in the day. With no gps. The worst thing about racing at Keystone. Was finding the dam place. Then the DUI check points after 12pm coming off the turnpike. Thank God for O'Dools. I think the success your seeing.. Is because the guy has 170CI on a stretched ProMod chassis Take some weight off the clutch. Lower the rear tire air pressure a half pound.
Do you have a video where you explain the brackets. I wish I could see. A board come show us who is racing who. . The winners. Next bracket on display.
Back in 1980, I had (the late) Alan Sputhe build me a 78 CI Sporty..XR style...it cost me $4K a good hunk of change...but it was pretty fast, I never race it, but it's easy a 10 second bike..Same type of engine as the cover of August 1980 cycle world...and a bear to kick-start. It's still fast enough for me, I'm 75...it's even faster than my S&S 93" Knuckle-head sidewinder...that one, maybe 60 horsepower...maybe... So these big gas engines cost $100K...what about the Nitro motors..?
There’s nothing easy about cracking the tens on a sportster. At least not on a genuine street ridden one. Building power is one thing but getting off the line cleanly is another. Mine regularly runs mid elevens in the quarter and low sevens in the eighth. And I run 91 octane pump gas and get 46 mpg. Street tire, stock wheelbase, foot shift and no wheelie bar. An extended swing arm or a bar seems to always be the answer but to my way of thinking then it’s no longer a true street bike.
7 second Sporty with no wheelie bar on a street tire and 1 single disc brake up front, but not a 4 piston radial caliper. No sir, it's not even a radial caliper. It appears to be a 2 piston rear axial caliper BUT that's not even the craziest part because it could even be a single piston. I hope he has a good master cylinder lol
Just brought a Honda 650 night hawk with only 11000 miles the guy I bought it from drag races a 1100 sabre mine is not a drag bike love the old school bikes
Good racing but $100K ? They should have a $20K class where you can spend no more than $20K on your bike. Probably a street bike with a longer swingarm and better clutch.

@@donniebaker5984 wow, what a reply! I admire HD also. There machines are expensive but stunning, with an aftermarket heaven. My electra glide has 152, 000 miles on it. I purchased it with 150, 000, but we ride it anywhere with no concern. All bikes are cool. We must stick together. Especially these days, before we go electric, to pedals. 🙂
Both of those bikes in the finals were outstanding love the 1978 Kawasaki once again great job Jack Keystone great place to race great people🏁🇺🇸👍👍👍🏍
That Gregg Dahl Sportster was WIKID fast!!!
Love that just a “Sportster” is in the 7’s
Yeah and a sportster with just a 170 cubic inch engine 😂
4 cam is the prefered engine.
@@chevyon37s haaa yeah, doubtful that motor is comprised of ANYTHING HD. Maybe the gas tank and handlebar. LOL
Thanks Jack, another great one!
Mostly older guys keeping the sport alive. That fine, but think of what a young person could learn from this crowd
If you've never seen Greg's stuff live, it's an experience to see ( and hear). 💪💪

They're more than just bikes, good episode.
Was over at Jeff's shop today looking at the projects..
Cool trick for the clutch, wouldn't of thought...
With those street skids on the Harley’s and a 171ci I can see how they break loose
GMS bikes are beasts!
Zx 14
All day

ZX14 all day

2802 cc and 1/2 million dollars and it is just a little faster than a stock zx14r Kawasaki 1300 cc Oh my
A 171 sporty! Thats insane!
A lot of blood sweat and tears there in the winners circle. That's what it's all about.
I almost went to this event since I live in Carlisle. Are you gonna be at Cecil Raceway 7-9 Oct?
That should run the oil through a ice cooler in the pits

That would be more friction.😅

A great way to cool your engine is to change the oil between runs.
Super video mil saludos👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
Pretty crazy to see a “Belt-Driven” trans is knocking on the 7’s (8.16). Hopefully it doesn’t “eat” ‘em per lap/effort….pretty nice to see regardless…
Ill take the Harley!!!
Have you filmed a drag trike ?
Good racing but $100K ?
They should have a $20K class where you can spend no more than $20K on your bike.
Probably a street bike with a longer swingarm and better clutch.
andy simon in the 7s
It's OK for grown men to CRY 😎
Harley please
100 Cubic Inch more than a 1200 sporty WTF lol how on earth
Anybody think that those are street bikes?
Yeah but can it make it more than a mile on an actual street??

How much HP does it take to get the Harley in the 7"s?
300 at least
300 wow 150 per hole thats thumping !
@@smallengineexpert6607yeah. Per almost a liter and a half per cylinder.
zx14 all the way, are you kidding?
Really? Name on Harley Davidson part
I could not care less to watch those 4 cylinder things
Dang and I did it with a Hayabusa for 13k including the price of the bike!
7 sec 1/4 mile? Sounds like the 1/8th mile
Lol that's 1/4 mile, not 1/8th.
