Wow, what a race.... Obviously neither bike nor truck was your ordinary vehicle. That truck in the street would from a dig, straight line would embarass 99.9% of us and definitely including me.

Neither rider nor driver are "unknowns" either, but that's kind of obvious the way they are able to launch in the street.

Truck has to be pretty dang close to running a 10sec quarter.

I have a feeling it "may" be a bit faster than a 10 in the 1/4.

EDIT - unconfirmed but 9.30 is what I was seeing/reading.

Built (assuming) zx14s run 7-8 seconds at sea level. Definitly faster than 10s probably even 9s.

That truck is a BAMF!

Anything closer to 9 would be overly impressive. That's got to be one hell of a ride.

Its at sea level. I tried to run a stop watch to it and was getting 7.1 7.2. Really hard to tell when they drop it. I was going off the sound of the bike.

Edit... Im sure its what slo was looking at but there is another video of him running a 9.3 on the strip.
Really unlikely it was running a 7.? QM

:lol: It was a lot like that just with my old trusty ol skool stopwatch.

That 9.3 was on 20s tho. I bet with the right wheel/tire combo hes low low 9s.

Are you sure the rear tires on the truck were 20s?

There used to be a boosted Silverado in the Springs running very low 10s. The truck looked extremely close to stock until he swapped tires/wheels.

He had 20s in the video where you can see that he runs the 9.3
