Jim Heck, that's pretty good.... .....about all you can do is raise launch rpm, limit front end travel, go to a shorter front tire and/or go in deep if allowed.... If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

(Not up on ladder bar/4-link changes that may help or leaving with a trans brake.) * Less pressure on the trans brake button. * Make sure frame is as stiff as possible (frame connectors, integrated roll bars, etc.) * Less weight

Yep.... if you need to make a change this weekend move the launch rpm up.... try it 1000 rpm more
