well, i finally made it to the track today for the first time.... racing a car and a bike are TOTALLY different worlds! I had to figure out HOW to launch it so that i could get a decent 60ft time, and the shifting is a PAIN with no light! Just when you think you know your bike , the track tells you otherwise!
The first run SUCKED! 2.42 60ft and 12.34@?? I didnt get a timeslip because i tripped the red light (piss!)
The second run i got a 1.91 60ft and 11.49@127mph missed 2nd to 3rd. and tripped the dam light AGAIN! (piss again!)
The third pass was MUCH better! cut a 2.030 60ft (bad) , BUT, i ran a 10.578@137.64! and missed 3rd AGAIN! (arrrr!)
The fourth and FINAL pass was EVEN better! cut a 1.729 60ft, and ran 10.136@137.90 missing 3rd AGAIN!
I was really nervous and my back and ribs were KILLING me ( car accident problems, need SURGERY ! LOL) I think if i were to get another run i may have been able to sqeeze a 9sec run out of it! Assuming i didnt miss 3rd AGAIN!
Lots of these guys racing had shift lights , air shifters, stretched swingarms, and et drag radial rears! This one girl ran a 9.98 on this setup.
I'm gonna get the shift light but ill just learn the shifting as i go ..... the times i missed 3rd , i was bouncing off the rev limiter! Provided i had a shift light i think i would have been fine on the shifting. I think i did OK for my first time out. And had a BLAST doing it!!!!!
Here are some pics of some of the bikes. ENJOY!
