Good stuff.

 

I'm glad you clarified that.

 

yeah the thread could have been totally different, lol

 

what bike were you on?

 

I was there. I ran the Ducati.... 10.6 @ 138mph. I ran 10.6 on 3 passes. I couldnt keep the damn wheel on the ground. lol

 

Just a hint: Bring the revs up and hold `em. If you're blipping the throttle, you've got at 50-50 chance of turning it off rather than on.

 

guess I need to update my sig...sold the ninja and converted the triumph to race

 

what camera is this? does it auto level with a gyro?

 

it's a contour attached to helmet...I just keep my head level I guess, lol

 

What were your 60ft. times? That to me is what deserves the most attention. My best was around 1.8, the fast guys were doin 1.6 or so.

 

Were you tucking on the drag trip, I mean strip?

I've never drag raced, but I thought tucking would help, no? It didn't look like you were, but it could be the camera.

 

I wasn't as much as I should...my mind went to mush once I was on the line!..all I could think of was "don't loop it!"

 

By pass the water box next time.

 

330 times? On 60' times...1.7 is the mag standard for a stock height / wheelbase bike

 

There's a motor sitting under the work bench here that will fix that MPH number...

 

i didn't really look at any of the other numbers but the end time/speed...i have the slip somewhere hopefully i can find it..

my starts suck..once i wind it out i feel like i'm getting good power down and shifting smoothly..idk, i love all the advise though, i'm a total newb...i've started alot of race in wera but i always go for smooth starts...going into turn 1 with everyone scares the crap out of me
