For whom the bell tolls
must say thanks to the organisers - Riff Raff and Whitetrash, and also to Larriken and Mouse for putting on a really good show. Managed to get an 11.77 out of the R6, got learnt by Affman and Boomer, but think i bet all other challengers. I did beat boomer once, but he took it overall 2 out of 3.
Pic is of SpeedMedic and his new ride, for those of you that havent seen it.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
oooooooooooo lala
Tooo right ... and now if you could learn to wheelie the R6 and not almost crash the yzf750 you'll be set.Originally Posted by gareth_d
I must say there were some seriously fast drags going on... my best was an 11:63 and was doing around the 192km/h mark at the end.
Lump lingered last in line for brains,
And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

i think those extra teeth woulda helped your drag time by letting your bike rev out faster, as we were nowhere near top speed - even for you with the different gearing.Tooo right ... and now if you could learn to wheelie the R6 and not almost crash the yzf750 you'll be set.
i need more practice on that YZF before i can do anything impressive, but i did manage a couple of good 2nd gear hooks, sadly they were out of sight of everyone
Need some rugged fairings and crash bungs for the R6 then i wont be so worried about dropping itbut the wheelies are getting better.

can anyone tell me what the rod is on the side of PICT6271. I'm assuming it is to activate the rear brake for wheelies when the feet arent on the pegs??

Well despite missing out on the first drag & stunt sessions I still had a great day thanks R/R & Co, and good work in the tower Jimmy!
I've never been on the dragstrip before so I was chuffed with my virgin efforts, admittedly I lost my first drag to the chick in red leathers riding the Alstare gixxer (sorry don't know your KB name, but well done), but the next 4 drags I managed to win, and some just by a whisker eh D/Monkey! Times & speeds were as follows:
1. 11.69, 205.9kmph.
2. 11.49, 201.2kmph.
3. 11.44, 203.5kmph.
4. 11.14, 206.4kmph.
5. 11.21, 206.4kmph.
I was disappointed with my stunting, just couldn't get into the groove and the strip surface freaked me a bit, I did manage to hook 3rd, 4th, and 5th in one attempt though...still had alot of fun out there, it would have been better having both lanes going for stunting!
Great to see a good turnout and many familiar faces, looking forward to the next one already, and next time I'll make sure I'm there on time.
OK, so who's next?
My only run on the gixx was 11.08, and the one run I did on Draco's 400 was a lowly 13.2
I wanna say thanks to Spankme for letting me try to destroy his SV too, only rode it like 20 feet then was doing wheelies on it (never been on a SV before) Thanks mate, you're a brave man
