drag rcing tips

RE: drag rcing tips
Feather the clutch
Keep the front end down
Unless you're bike's stretched, a burnout is not really necessary.
Trial and errorwill help achievewhat you're comfortable with for launch RPM's ( I start at low RPM's and, aftereach run,increase RPM's by 500 until I see my 60' bottom out)
A shallow stage gives you "more" reaction time....sort of
Heat kills the clutch plates so don't feather it too much and leave plenty of cool-down time in between runs.
I usually tuck the instant my clutch is fully engaged.
Don't practice power shifting just yet....hone your 60' before trying any fancy stuff.

When trying to get your best passes, between runs, park the bike.
Give the plates time to cool.
I've used a logbook to log each pass. reaction time,launch rpm,temp, 60ft, 1/8, 1/4, mph's.etc. After a while the numbers will start to add up. Takes away the guessing.
