    Watch the lights...don't wait for the green one..go on the last orange.
    By the time you react to it it will be green.

    1. Take off skirt. (doesn't apply to everyone)
    2. Don't worry about burnouts etc. at first, just get a feel for it.
    3. Once you have some kind of idea how the bike will react & remember all bikes are different, do what Sharky said.
    4. Don't try to change things every pass to try to go quicker, do everything the same every time but just get smoother at it.
    5.Most important thing of all,,,,,,,HAVE FUN

    right ive got a bit of a nutty idea ....
    ive always wanted to make a really good 2stroke sprinter and as i know more about stokeres than i do about 4 stokes i thot this may well be the way to go ..
    ive heard of a guy making racing engines for banshees ..and he bases them on a 350 lc bottom end ..reckons hes getting 112 rwbhp from a 500cc twin ..i wanna put one of those in a gamma frame and race it for fun ..

    Clean out ya bank account before your first run. Drag racing is like cocaine. Exspensive, addictive but oh so much fun! Have a ball mate.
