DRAG RACING

Post by simon limbrick »

Just wondering if any of you guys do any (Off-Street) Drag Racing? I know you's are probably thinking im a softcock for only racing in a straight line but its still good for winning all those "My bikes quicker than ur bike" debates between mates!!!!!!
i've run the 9R a couple of times at the AC Delco Drag Strip down here in Tassie and so far have managed a best of 10.8sec at about 220kph. :D that was a pretty poor attempt at launching off the line though. Im sure there is still more to come from the old girl yet! Does anyone share my interest?

I try and do it every ride from a rolling start of say 200kmh and see who has the nutts to go!
The rest just play catch up really, but I do say some bull now and then :lol:

Have taken all my toy cars to the drags at one point or another. Willowbank is a bit of hike for me though. But sometime I want to see how quick I can send it down the quarter for interest sake.
Real bravery is being afraid but doing it anyway.

I might be going out to Willowbank on Wednesday night to run the 6, just to see how she goes. PM me if anyone wants to tag along...
