It's not bad, that trap speed shows the bike has some stuff left. Trim that reaction time with a better tire and it'll really pop. (the time, not the tire  )

Not sure were Evansville is, but are you racing at US 41? I've been there a few times and always have traction problems there. Been going to Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove WI for more grip. My friends go to Byron IL quite a bit and say the track there is also very good. Both are probably a long drive for you though.

went back to the track last weekend with -1 front +2 in back gearing, shinko u-soft. with my zx9 my best reaction was .2829 60ft 1.59 1/8th 6.5741 trap @ 107.09. I cut a 08 ?? tree my first time @ the track with a terrible et bout a month back.
When I ran that 6.57 et I bout $&!t my pants cuz i dialed in @6.64 having no Idea in my mind that i would run that time I started the day with a 6.79 & never thought I would get that low. So I brokeout in the final race But im just happy im getting my et down now i need to work on my light. The winter coming so I hope i dont have to start back over again next season.

had the same bike last year except it wasn't lengthened or lowered and only -1 in the front.ran a best of 6.78@105 in the 8th and 10.45@135 in the quarter with a 1.76 60ft.so with the 2 tenths quicker in the 8th you should running 10.20s or better in the quarter,not bad for a 900

you arent that far from me i live down in hopkinsville ky. change your gearing a lil more (its always good to experiment) i have -1 +5 and it feels like a rocket launching drop your tire pressure by 5- 10 psi
