They usta let you run on a learners ect(i've only had my full a year or so....)on full size bikes
A few guys have brought racers down,but they only ever let you run 'till dark and sometimes make you run on your own(as a comp vehicle)
And they'll let you run against the cars in practice and in the grudge rounds(but be prepared to get your butt kicked!)

Might have to break the 400 out and see if i can get some low 13's maybe some high 12's..... Ill be happy with 14's though.....

My Bro's Skyline is seriously fast (will do the 11s 1/4) and he has one of the quickest reaction times in NZ. I am sure there will be quicker cars there.

when i went there was a mirage, front wheel drive, doing 9's, yes 9's. fucking insane

You'd be really surprised SC, there are alot of seriously quick cars at most drag meets like night wars, the import scene is getting much larger at the strip in NZ and there are alot of 10sec cars out there not to mention 9's and even dare i say 8 sec cars now.
As Death will back up it is hard to find good traction on a bike from all the rubber left from cars off the mark, if you dont get ya bike off the mark well enough most modded 4WD will whoop you off the mark, it's unbelivable how farkin quik they are.

I'll be doing my best to get there, mainly to watch Death stand up wheelie the whole strip while proberly still running a 12.

I can arrange for one if required, but I usually prefer to take stills. I have quite a few hundred pics from the import drag scene over the last several years. Not many with bikes though.

some video of bikes would be good... a bit of a thing so people learn to launch (and I can pretend I was there)

Dude, looking at the results for the last few night wars meets, the quickest thing there was Lance Lowe on a ZX10R doing 10.7's. The next quickest is a couple of cars at 11.5s. I dont think the real quick guys do the night speed stuff. (Check the results if you want). www.dragwars.co.nz

The few times I went the fastest cars were doings 9's (inc Jonah Lomu in his GTR) and one was even in the 8's. I dunno, maybe things have changed or it was an off week or something....we'll see.
