jporter12 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 You'll have to fight off Sam & Moose they're both after her too.They're both after anything that'll hold still long enough. Let us know how you do. I can just imagine how tough it would be to launch a street bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 shawn says 3500 rpm and let it goi do alright launching when its just playin around at a light, but when it comes time to actually race, i always end up dumping the clutch instead of slipping and then it just pulls the front up...gonna not pay attention to RT tonight, gonna just leave the line when im ready and forget about whoever is next to me (if anybody, not sure on the bike turnout tonight)....thats my problem, is i get anxious because of the guy next to me...when im lined up by myself i do alright lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSB67 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 So do I really need a tether kill switch over 120 there? That is the rumor that keeps me away. I also prefer to wear jeans at the dragstrip. Lemme know what you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer to wear jeans at the dragstrip. Lemme know what you see.over 120 or faster than 10.99 you need full leathers and a kill switchslower and you can wear jeans with a normal kill switch - like i did tonightleft early, had something come upmade 2 passes - i need a LOT of practice, 2.0 60's were not kind to me tonightcant wait till the next CR rental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSB67 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 over 120 or faster than 10.99 you need full leathers and a kill switch.If it just so happens that my throttle sticks, AND I fall off, AND the bike stays up, where the hell is it gonna go? Straight? Who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Weren't you running high 15s like 15.8?umm no?i ran a 12.3 but my 60' was horrid because i fucked up my launch real bad like i had guessed i would do, and i didnt pay close enough attention and overrevved a few gears - shifted a bit later than i shouldasecond pass was a high 13 but i missed third gear, fucked up my launch again that pass so it wouldnt have been much better lolif i coulda got a semi decent 60' 11.50s would have been attainable for sure...if the bike hasnt sold by the next CR track day, im gonna run it some more and see how fast i can get it goin....that was my first time ever running a bike down the strip, just need some practice...all in all i wasnt too disappointed for my first time at the track on a bikei work early in the am so i didnt stay around to compete, so only ran the few test passes - then marks car broke on the trailer, which was the only car i really wanted to see run, so i took off kinda early, like 7ish...maybe you saw someone elses bike running 15s Edited August 21, 2010 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Probably so, there was another bike running 15s also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
