Wednesdays and Fridays are street night 6-10

I think its like $20-$25

and it gets pretty crowded

I can get like 6 runs in the cage, but they always let the bikes through, so maybe you can get a few more runs on a bike

gotta have leathers, gloves, and hard boots. Work boots wont pass

Anyone know about the tether rules? Speed rules etc.? as far as kill switches special equipement stuff?

Steve (FirstDuc) does, he showed me how he rigged up a tether kill switch to the one on his ZX-12R. Not too complicated, but I'm sure he can give you some useful info.

I guess my race bike is not legal.

Trajiks9 got it , plus kill switch lanyard at the 10.99/120 or faster. The 120 is easy on a motorcycle.

Depends on the bike and/or rider. took my g/f about 5 runs to break 120 on her 750 and i never did on the sv1k or the 650.

[FirstDuc-1098]

good night last night, very low turnout, maybe 10-12 bikes max, only maybe 35 cars max at the high point, got many runs in before the track started cooling down and I started spinning the launch, best run a 10.68

[MJD41985]

I want to go wicked bad. I'm going on vacation next week, so maybe the weekend after.

[REXXX]

yeah me and a buddy went like 3 weeks ago. i didnt have leather pants or a teathered killswitch and ran over 120mph all night. my buddy didnt have a kill switch and ran 10.6's on his tuono.

[MJD41985]

Thats the only thing I need is the kill switch...

[DuncanMoto]

[FirstDuc-1098]

well i ran mine and my fastest was 11.1 at 124mph... but i had not so great starts and and a run with a 125mph trap speed so under 11 seconds is very very possible with the rc51.

and i had them write the number on my windscreen because i didnt want to pay for the plate.
