Hello riders. Thought I'd put down a few tips for those who may be inexperienced at drag racing their bikes. You'll need to have some gear to participate. Namely: m/c license, snell helmet, leather/kevlar gloves, leather/kevlar jacket, and leather shoes/boots that cover the ankle. Additionally, if you run in the 10s they require leather/kevlar pants zipped to your jacket (of course one-piece suit is great) and a lanyard shut-off switch on the bike. For 9sec runs, a IHRA license is needed. However, that's
very unlikely for a first timer to be concerned about. While mags report 9sec times for Hayabusa's, Gixxer 1000s, and ZX12Rs; it takes practice to actually achieve said performance.
I wanted to give these tips to any new riders, so they are prepared and don't show up without the proper gear and thus can't run.
