yup me to me to... gona run the rad down the strip in about a months time.. any noob tips would be fantastic :D
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.
Oh and 'Kick it in the guts and Rip the b'jeezus out of it'
ta thats a start ...what about weight over the front ..warmin up the rear tyre etc
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
papa its not a skirt its a kilt :}
thanks for the pointers ....i intend to have mucho fun

For the first few times treat it like a set of traffic lights,
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 ..
i think it is the two stroke shop you are talking about and the motors they are doing are about 10k a pop
ouch..ta deano ..maybe ill start with a 485cc big bore then ..lol
onya jim,these blokes forgot to tell you that first run youll get nerves and shit but try to just relax..think your runnin one of your mates off the traffic lights.and as you shut off at the end you will laugh like the village idiot..have fun mate
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.
i will lol itll be a bit befiore i can get into it ..if i get the job with me bro in QLD then illhave more disposable income ...he he
And you'll have lots of bike only drag day's to practise. I love willowbank.
