Ricky Gadson's turbo ZX14 Pic
I took this pic at the AMA Dragbike event in Valdosta GA. This is one serious bike.

gadson runs that bike in "super street." those bikes tend to run low 8's... though if i remember right gadson holds the record right now with a 7.9something. fun bikes to watch. but they cant compare to the pro street or funny bikes. those things are just crazy to watch fly by

my dad has had me going to the finals every year for almost 10 years now and ive never really been able to get into top fuel... the runs are always a hit or miss with them. i think i can find some vids of the finals somewhere

ditto ... I blew the pic up for a better look  then i had a think.... would I go down that strip at top speed with a weak swing arm and a solid wall off to one side.... HELL NO
I think it is stronger than it looks
