A Day At the Races

Well I am certainly getting my motorposrts fix these last couple weekends! Two consecutive weekends of 1/8th mile drag racing on the motorcycle! wow. Way fun. Not super challenging by any means but good cheap clean fun! holy cow.

THe first weekend was the learning curve, this later second weekend was working on techniques and getting shit done! I got through two rounds of bracket last weekend, but this weekend I broke out on the first round against a set up racing sled. I was pumped though because I learned A) how to launch and B) how to do a burnout in the waterbox. I also topped my personal best to-date with a 9.25 ET. Reaction times still leave a lot to wish for, but I am still new at this drag racing on a bike thing (and drag racing period)

Leann came with this last weekend and I actually managed to convince her to run her Grand Am. Good thing I did that too! She Tophied! made it three rounds in elims! Way to go babe! :) an 11.00 dial in did the trick! lol :P
