first time at the track...

[FTMFW]

well, i took the 08 out to the track for the first time last saturday. was my first time at the track ever on a motorcycle, and prior to saturday my fastest run ever was a 13.01 in a truck. saturday was also my first time class racing, my first time launching from a pro tree, and generally my first time doing anything. i made four passes. bike mods are as follows

yosh 4-1 exhaust
lowering links set in the middle
power commander
clutch mod.

stock length, stock tires.

first two were "shakedown" runs also called qualifying, but i honestly was expecting to be a first round knockout. i got reallllly lucky.

I gotta try something like that.

Greenbean you are very close to Bristol Dragway so you should come over and race with us!! Bristol has Street Fights and it is only $10 to make as many passes as you can. They have a quick 8 also for the bikes which is alot of fun! You will need leathers to run the 1/4 mile or you can make 1/8 mile passes with a jacket and jeans. There are three Saturday and two
Thursday races left this year so maybe you will be able to make one!!!

keep working at it. My first time at the track I ran a 10.90@133mph on a stock motor gen1. Seat time is the key.

I give you props. I've never been down the track on a bike either. Not sure how good I'd do. Nerves would probably screw up my launch.
