All racing takes skill. yeah just about anyone can line a bike up and take it through th 1/4 mile. but how many riders can get a good time consistently? with a good reaction time? thats were the skill come in. and just so you guys know..... I have very little of it. lol. but i will one day
Hopefully i can get to hallett and actually learn to drag a knee.

 

How were you launching the bike? I may go this weekend for the first tmie. First gear still scares the **** out of me lol

 

I feather it out around 6k. Depending on how much throttle I roll on, the front comes up sometimes and other times now. I'm not very consistent, apparently

 

only thing i do diff than most the guys i go with is i shift w/o letting off the gas. sometime it will pull up shifting to 2nd but not much. Just don't exceed you limits. if your not comfortable slipping at 6k slip at 4-5k. treat it as a stop light and improvefrom there.

 

talk about people botching launches.. I've outrun GSXRs in cars before because they didn't know how to handle the bike. Your drag time was awesome, especially for your first time.

 

my first time on the track i ran a 13.1 at 123mph, my 0-60 was 2.9 because i dropped the clutch and stood the bitch straight up in the air, first time ever running at the track, i kinda ***** launched it the rest of the night and the best i ran was a 12.8 but thats just because my 0-60 was always around 2.9..... next time im gonna let it go with alittle more power

 

how about it takes a combination of horsepower and the rider! id rather see two bikes of similar power race and see which "rider" wins

 

my best was an 11.5et at like 122mph, at fontana, ca. bike was 01f4i, mods, slip on, -2/+2 sporcket change, and had the front forks strapped. best 60ft times were like 1.8 or 1.9., all your time will be gained or lost in the launch
