I had my first experience last night at the Drags.... I am addicted and can't wait til next time....
Unfortunately due to an oil spill we only got 2 runs in.... I was so nervous the first run I thought I was goin to stall so take off was a little slow... Second run was ALOT better! I wish there was more time to do more runs - I reckon I could have got that time lower and lower every time...
My competitor in the other lane is a friend of mine Eve on a Aprilia RSV1000R... Last night was her first time also...
I did a 12.788, Evie ran a 11.803.
Video of the 2nd run:

Soon I hope! I can't wait! Apparently they are open longer on a Thursday so might give that night a go....
Someone also mentioned to me about a Sportsbike shoot out? or something - might have to look that up...

Yeah the Drags is heaps of fun. I got 11.0 at 137MPH out of my R1, starting in 2nd gear with the front lifting too much. I am keen to get down there again and get into the 10s, which should be easy if only I can keep the front down.
The sportbike shootout is really good, you pay I think $45 and it starts in the arvo, goes for a few hours and then you can stay on to do more runs in the test n tune for no extra charge.
I really need to get out and have another go at it.

Well done!
Next time please bring a camera with a big zoom, or onboard video camera.

They have the Sportsbike Shootouts every month or two. Several of local forums (
Brisbane Bikers and
Weekend Riders) have many members that go along. I believe that the organisers of the Sportsbike Shootouts are having problems finding a new sponsor, so the future of the event is uncertain.[/url]
