This will provide a baseline going forward.
My first run was horrible...
I red-lighted, then spun the entire track, wert through the trap at 96.85mph.
Got beat by Eric on his stock Busa
The second run was fun... that's the one in the video were I go against the other Busa (Eric from TampaBikers). Got my best R/T of the night and a little pay-back with Eric
The third run I went solo... absolutely embarrassing R/T... 1.205
however I had my fastest trap speed on this one at 114.89.The fourth and final run was fun. This is the second video... the one where I basically wheelied the the entire track. I lined up against an R1. He won the race.
Here are the stats:
1 win
2 losses
1 bye

Expect to see a thread in the near future to plan another Wednesday Night excursion to the Dragstrip.... and you will be explicitly invited.

Start with trying to be consistent. My first trip to the track with my bike I went 11.8-12.0, with practice I went 10.89 on the same bike with a 6.9 in the 1/8
I was happy not to have broken anything...
However, I do believe I lost another exhaust bolt... notice the tapping sound on the way home.
