This Sunday auw.

Come down and join the fun.

Once again, though, I ain't bothering if it's pissing down.

Gawd, I fuckin hate all this buildup, wish I'd never mentioned I was going.

I'll probably get performance anxiety on my first run and fall off after stalling the bike.

Edit: or end up like this fulla.

And the cameras will be clickin, oh yes the drags will be awash with the glorious sounds of "capturing the moment"

just go hard mate, you will have at least 3 hours before pictures are on KB and video is on you tube

I reckon low 11s, if, I say if, he can keep the bloomin front wheel somewhere near the tarmac.

My GSX14 thinks it's an aeroplane from standing starts.

Good luck.

All the best, have fun!

I'm picking low 12's, perhaps getting down to high 11's.

I think it's going to boil down to how much I want to chomp through my new $460 190/55 PP 2CT rear and whether I have the balls and finesse to hold a GSX1400 in the Drift Dimension (tm) through the first 150m or so of the strip.

Apparently they don't prep the track with VHT for these days.

Oi, JR, do the best you can mate!

Oh ye of little faith!

Stop talking yourself down, the bike can handle it, all you have to do is keep up!

Go for sub 10. Good luck.

Cheers John.

Good luck out there JR. Just remember to take it easy until after you've crossed the start line lest Mr Plod issues you with a no show

I wouldn't worry about it too much mate. I turned up with a 300km old PP and just made certain I did short burn outs.
10.9 on the first,10.7 on the second and a 10.5. Tyre was fine too...
