Default Drag racing, whats the big deal

probably pretty good being that ive track raced for 8 years.

unfortunantly for you though you cant run my drag bike for 6 hrs. and chances are when i start the bike and its shaking the very concrete floor that your standing on, i doubt you'd swing a leg over it. Must be something about that 130dB idle and the 220hp motor on a 210lb chassis.

Just like any other drag bike the trans is cut so you cant back off the throttle or you'll hurt my $2k tranny, so you cant pu$$y foot it.

i expect after that 6 hrs though you can tell me where the bike is lean, if its geared properly, how the tires are spinning, and most importantly, how is your reaction time. None of which you can do because you arent a drag racer. just like i dont claim to be a desert racer.

hm, wonder why those NHRA drivers get paid 6 figures. They only shift twice. warwagon should do that!

warwgn, now you just sound cocky. Do you think you are the only one to race CC or the like on these forums?



And so what if soemone doesn't have "skill" on one of these machines? Does that mean that they aren't allow to enjoy them?

Your bike sounds fun to me, I be glad to take for a couple runs!! nope i couldnt tell you those things right away cause I dont build Alky motors, the gearing I could probally be close but no where near as precise as you would be for sure. I could probally cut a good light after a few runs, but your right I am not a drag racer. But I think you get my point.

nope, not cocky, I'm only 6th in the state for now so I am not the best for sure. And I hope there are more than just me running desert, and I think you get the point I was making.
