[iwannaride]

[iwannaride]

[xvrider]

I will br there for moral support and to take pics...

[patricia929]

i've never been there before but it sounds like fun. i may take a ride over.

[Awesome]

I may be in NH tomorrow, so maybe if I can rig up some sort of tether tonight I'll swing by and make a few runs.

Mike,
What were they giving you guys a hard time about at tech so I can take a close look at my beast.

[bump909]

you guys should hold off until0 friday.. i think a few of us are heading up then.

[Half Squid]

Yeah lets all go Friday!!!!

I can't make it Wednesday.... Booooooooooooooooo..

[Teez]

There are WAY too many people on Friday's for me. The last Friday I went I ran a total of 2 runs all night because there were so many stupid cars! It was a huge waste of time and money to me. Not to mention I usually work on Friday nights. So stop bashing my thread Mike It is Wednesday and that's that

[oreo_n2]

i cant make it friday. i think i am going tonight!

[Awesome]

I can't make it tonight, I didn't have time to rig up a kill switch. Maybe friday.

[bump909]

haha, you guys and your 120+mph bikes.. i don't need a tether!

[oreo_n2]

i'll bet jay doesn't need a tether either.

[reiobard]

what are the requirements for bikes up there? i doubt i would cross over into anything but the minimal req's.

[oreo_n2]

from their website...

No slicks allowed. Street tires required (DOT Approved racing tires acceptable). No bald tires allowed.
Open exhaust not allowed.
.500 Full Tree using manual start.
Vehicles must comply with safety and equipment requirements as outlined by the current IHRA Rule Book.
Motorcycles must be street legal and able to pass state safety inspection.

if you have less than a liter bike and this is your first time going, you probably wont need the tether or leather pants.

the number plate thing is $2 when you get there, just buy it (bring some zip ties) its the easiest way to do it.

last friday i saw at least 3-4 people wearing mesh/textile jackets. i think as long as it's leather and/or the jacket has protection you should be all set.

There were a few people there using textile jackets so it would appear that they allow it but your mileage might vary. If you are running near 120 mph or 10.99 seconds, I guarantee they will say something to you about it as they yelled at SVRACER about not having a tail light on his bike.

Unfortunately for me I can't make it this week but if you have the chance to go, DO IT and don't think twice about it. I promise you will have a good time!

(Promise not valid if you crash...)

You bastid! Everyone I ran against treed me bad except for Oreo.

They all paid in the end once the 12 got its revs up. Even the stretched and lowered bike that killed me off the line had some bad Karma for picking on a dragracing noob. He found the magical neutral between 2nd and 3rd and couldn't get back in gear!

weathers looking iffy...
