I took the bike to the local drag strip tonight - Wednesday Night Grudge Matches. Raced a couple of different bikes. I didn't win any races, but did post some consistant runs.

I'll post the timeslips in the Image Galleries, under my folder in Trips.

Here are the videos :

Run 5 -

All said, the bike handles the drag strip quite well. I felt very comfortable, and had no real trouble on launch. I did not do a burn-out to warm up the tire. No point really with a street tire, and there was plenty of rubber on the track anyway. I did not do a 'hard' launch on any of the 5 runs, but I did have the RPM's up.

My best of the night - 13.766 @ 94.03 r/t .330 (Run 3)
