Default Success!

We made it to the track, but not before i managed to dump the bike in the driveway on the way out! booo! Anyone have an extra right mirror laying around they don't want?

I beat my dad on every run, including the one where I almost ate the 60' pavement! He was on a 1996 Ducati 900ss.

I managed a best of 12.212 @123.57. My 60' was 2.516. Horrible, I know. I'm all sissy pants on the launch, but i pull wheelies on the shift into second gear!

Maybe someday I'll get a good launch down. Car drivers don't understand what it's like to launch a street bike!

I was the only girl on a bike, so yeah it was me. A lot of people would come up and talk to me then walk away texting, so I'm not surprised. One lady wanted to take a picture of me. luckily she got the side of the bike I hadn't crunched.

Dad and I were the only street bikes running. I was surprised there weren't more. It was great weather. Most of the dedicated drag bikes there were from Washington I think.

No pictures or video yet. I got the photographer to take some pictures of me though. I hope some are good!
