No, there's not any timing lights, and yes the tree line comes up very quickly but thats half the fun. Do you have the balls to power thru the finish or puss out and brake early. I have been to the drag races at biketoberfest and bikeweek for the last three years and never seen a crash yet so dont be scared come out and race. My busa is stock but I'll race a 205hp copper busa I am not susposed win that match up but that wont stop me from trying. Everybody come on out it will be alot of fun and dont forget to come on by and say hello, blue & white ford pickup with a platform on top of the bed, see you there.
