It's a 2008 ZX14.
The bike is setup to run in the AMA Drag Bike Super Sport Class. It's a very restrictive class that did not allow extended wheelbase bikes which is why you see the bike still setup with a short wheelbase. There is also a minimum race weight of 680 lbs so we had to add the maximum allowance of 45 lbs of ballast and run a full tank of fuel and with Erica on the bike it barely made the weight requirements.
The bike has many finite refinements that are allowed such as Ceramic wheel bearings, lowered to 2" ground clearance, Brock's Titanium / Carbon Fiber Pipe, PowerCommander and one hell of a tune thanks to our mechanic and Brock's Performance. As for the engine, AMA Drag Bike allowed only minor mods but our bike has never been opened or modified and still made 196 rwhp. With that kind of hp it's an animal to launch.
Best times to-date are;
60' = 1.50
1/4 mile ET's = 9.13 / 9.16 / 9.19 / 9.21
1/4 mile mph = 157
