R1 wins Southern National Drags

[Monsterbishi]

I was there too in my little Mirage, only got to round two though, managed to redlight and breakout in the same run, got a new p.b. so I was happy either way :-)

That pommy bike was a crazy bit of kit, on his first pass the moment he left the VHT'd part of the strip his tyre just went up in smoke, after that, he shut off at half track and still managed to coast through to a flat 8 second pass!

Yea man but it left its guts all the way up the track on its last pass. Feel bad for him it will cost $20K to fix that one. OUCH.......

[**R1**]

10.9?? aarrrhhh I was going to go, But i was unsure if they would let me run my bike with no plastics, all I had was my old crashed tank.


Well done, give me a yell next time you go out i'd be keen to run the R1 again since doing my cams, my last run was a 10.2

I was the first car out after that, by the time I'd reeled in the other car we hit the kitty litter dust at the same time kicking up a mint cloud

The only problem with me and bracket racing, is that when I know I'm on a best ever run, there's no way in hell I'm gonna button off just to win the race :-)

The wife recorded the run where the English bike shut off at half track, he did a 8.49@100mph here's the vid of it:
