Default First drag race.

or my first official one anyway. just got back from the raceway across the river, and yea, i had a great time, i was finally able to see what i could get out of my 600rr (thought hop[efully a bit better one day with practice.) lol.

heres the results

very first run, me (12.852@107.15).........vs.......zx12 (10.765@131.14) well, not so great...
next, same bikes, me (12.523@112.00) zx12 (10.559@127.63)
solo, (12.204@114.57)
me (11.946@116.77) r1 (10.764@131.15)
me (11.821@119.74) zx10r (10.482@132.22)


last one!
me (11.881@114.87) hayabusa (10.771@135.91)

lol so as you can see, i didnt win ****, lol. but they were pretty lopsided matchups though, but no complaining, i was the only 600 there, and got many compliments. like said, it was a lot of fun, and im looking forwards to racing with these guys again!

my biggest problem was my launch, and my 60ft times, i could just feel the back end being all squirley for what seemed like forever. but even when i would beat a bike out of the hole, or even to 60 ft, like i did the hayabusa, by 330 the horsepower difference would make itself painfully obvious, lol

glad to see that your times kept getting better and not worse. it seems you started to get comfortable with your bike on the track. keep at it and you'll do fine

I think a good short time most people need to strap the front end...especially on bigger bikes..

How were you launching? (RPM's and how did you clutch it?)
