Drag strip today

went to the strip tonight, ran, consistent 133mph in 1/4 and best time 10.5, not that great of night, need to get the bike running better.

Was this your first run on the bike? Do you have any mods? And how many miles do you have on the bike. Does not seem to be to bad of a run. I'm curious because I'm going to run mine later in the summer.

10.5 is good, if its a stocker, i would be happy with cuttin times like that. How was the launching...what RPM, etc? got time slips, :fact I would like to see how you did with your 60 ft times

A 10.5 is much faster than the majority of Wankers on this site could push thru the 1/4, myself included ;) Was that a corrected time ? What track? What elevation and temp? Nice run:thumbup

Lower and strap that bike and you should run 10.10s:D

i have straps, but havent got it dialed in.

What are the safety requirements at the track you run on? At the local track here, you need a full suit and a kill switch harness if you run under 11 second times. Last year I was running low 11s (11.15 was the lowest, average was 11.2-11.4) on my 98 ZX-9R Hoping to break the 11 second barrier with my R1, but when I do I'll get booted for not having the proper gear. A kill switch harness isn't a problem, but a suit just isn't in the budget for the near future.

I know what a full suit is but what's a "kill switch Harness"? I plan on Draggin the bike at least once to see what she's got... What do i need to bring with me? Also, what RPM's are you leaving at and when are you shifting? Thanks!! Alan

practive drag racing at stop lights,,, when NO cpos are around, drag strips have a lot more traction, harder to launch there leathers, you can get a full suit for around 500 agv. or just go to a leather store and get a set of leather pants, that should be enough. we have similar rules though they dont inforce them to much,

Kill switch harness (or tether, whichever you prefer) - attaches the rider to the kill switch in such a way that, if the rider should fall off the bike, the kill switch is engaged and shuts the bike down. With my ZX-9R I was launching at about 5-6k RPMS, pretty much slippin the clutch all through the first half of first gear, then just flickin through the rest of the gears at about 11k.

How can i strap down the front end? what did you use to do it, how?:iamwithst thanks in advance.

www.schnitzracing.com has them they are called drag straps, they are fully adjustable.
