What was your best pass?
60ft times?

Best advice I can give is work on your launches

 

yeah, it seemed you launched at a pretty low rpm and bogging the motor

 

I did, not to make excuses but we were running a pro-tree all night then they threw a full-tree in on us and screwed it all up.

 

11.203 was the best pass. I was hoping for 10 seconds but maybe when Im used to the bike more. 60ft was 1.964-2.222. This pass was 2.024.

 

nice, as soon as my knee heals and im out of this brace im heading to our drag strip here because i missed two trackdays already because of this stupid injury

 

Shoot for a 60ft of around 1.7-1.8 and you'll be in the 10s. Also, get a feel for where the bike stops making power, and set ur shift light EXACTLY where u think you'll maximize the gains. Higher isn't always better. This way you're not thinking... You're reacting. Light = Shift. Then concentrate on getting the time it takes u to react down.
You'll get fast quickly following that formula. There's a lot more to it, in the seat, but, that's the gist of it.
Low 11s are a good start bro! Don't be bummed about that lol You're first 1/4 is never as you hope. It's a lot more technical than most people believe.

That may be my problem, I dont look for the light when shifting, I was going by the sound of the engine.

 

Your bike should easily get into the 10s with no problem. From the vid, looks like you launched at 4K rpm before dropping the clutch and it bogged a bit.

Try around 7000 - 8000 and feather it when you launch.

I go from 1st to 2nd using my clutch, but from 2nd on up, I go clutchless.

This is from an old J model, so you'll be into the 10s in no time :thumbup

 

edit: just searched, im an idiot haha

 

Bikes, imo, are fricken hard to drag.... cars are alot less picky and require less balls too!

I'm gonna try and get in the 10's here soon, I am at 8k ft though lol

This is true. It's not all about the FASTEST times like everyone says to "just go buy a 10R if you want to drag". It's about getting the quickest time possible with what you have.

 

i grew up drag racing with my dad with many different cars so the atmosphere and the rush when the tree drops is like no other

 

the rush when the tree drops is like no other

True story.

 

It's staging that gets my heart racing!

 

here's a video of me having a play at my first ever drags....first and last....there were no corners?!?! WTF!:cuckoo:

As a matter of interest, have a listen to my revs...I couldn't get any traction on the strip and was wheel spinning all the way down to the end!
