I am getting very eager to throw my leg over the Catalyst bodywork that Ron Fish has transformed and painted to perfection. I put the key in the ignition of the 2008 Suzuki Casto Motorcycle Sales sponsored Hayabusa and turn it to on. I press the start button connected to the Schnitz Racing Vortex Clip Ons and grab the Montgomery Motorsports handlebars and listen as the Port-Tech built engine roars to life. The Alisyn oil and Petron Plus quickly builds pressure and makes the engine smooth and quiet. The Wossner pistons and rods are breaking in and making great power on this 1340 motor. Web Cams Camshafts are keeping everything in perfect time and APE fasteners are holding all this horsepower together. The Cometic head gasket provided by Schnitz will seal in the large shot of Nitrous from the Nitrous Express Pro Mod System that Rob Bush Motorsports installed and integrated into the system. The World Wide bearings are heating up now and providing the least amount of friction of any bearing available and hold up to the high RPM’s that the motor, transmission and wheels are put through. As the motor warms up and I head to the line, the ARC Nitrous Bottle Heater has been warming the bottle to just the right temperature. I activate the nitrous and am given the signal to launch. The RPM’s are pulled up to 6,000 and I slide the clutch through first gear. The McIntosh Swingarm pushes downward getting as much grip to the Schnitz Racing Power One’s as I click it off into second gear and the Brock’s Performance Sidewinder exhaust pushes the spent gases to atmosphere. Just into second and the nitrous comes on and the Brisk Racing spark plugs ignite this enriched mixture as the Schnitz Racing EK Chain pulls the Vortex Sprockets and the Tiger Racing Chain Guard is there to protect the bike and me. The bike is quickly picking up speed now as the Tiger Racing Land Speed Front Fender slices through the air and makes an air pocket for the bike to follow in. The Pin Point Auto provided Nitrous Oxide is now fully on in third and the bike is well over 150 and picking up more speed. As the shifts go through to fourth, fifth and finally sixth, David Whealon with DW Photos is snapping away with his high speed camera catching all the details as I run through the traps. I roll off the throttle and begin braking on the best brakes in the business provided by Brock’s Performance, the Carbone Lorraine’s slow this rocket down to enable the turn off at the last exit. As I pull into the pits, Parton Signs has all the sponsors looking great on their banners and Canaan Printing’s HERO Cards are out on display. Another high speed run complete, it is time to look over the bike, do a little maintenance and get ready for the next pass! Many thanks to all our sponsors in 2014. As the bike slowly comes through the major transformation that is taking place, we appreciate your continued support and are grateful to be racing with you!
