First time attempting to drag race - I SUCK!!!

[LowCel]

I now have a new found respect for all of you that drag race. I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I had no idea how difficult it actually is to get off of the line. It seemed like everytime I was either popping a wheelie or bogging down the bike. I was only able to find a somewhat sweet spot about two or three times out of my 12 runs. I have a lot to learn. The good news is I'm going to enjoy every second of it. :D

The strip I went to is an 1/8 mile.
My best time was 7.2351.
Best reaction time was 0.0479.
Best 60 ft was 1.8721
Best 330 ft was 4.9530
Top speed was 111.08

My buddy on the busa was killing me on take offs and on 60 ft times. I was almost catching him toward the end of the most of the races. If we would have been racing a 1/4 mile strip I would have beat him most of the time. However, seeing as how it wasn't he ended up beating me most of the runs. We had a blast though!

Here's the bike all shined up and ready to go.

most important part is you had fun and you are learning more about your bike ;-)

You might want to look up Rickey Gadson, he has Drag Racing schools back East.

I hear ya, first time out was on the car, haven't taken the bike to the strip yet; after I strap down the front and lower the rear I will tho. My first time on the car was a pure rush, but I sucked big time.

I bring it up to 4000rpm, as your letting out the clutch give it more throttle and keep you head over the front wheel. It does take practice but once you find the sweet spot, its great.

keep it up you'll get there. I had to put an airshifter on my to make up for my stone like reflexes. I've to the track 3 times now lowered my 11.22 to a 10.33 still can't launch it for s#$t. 2.0 60' all night long Try gearing it depending on your weight
