OK. . Mike had such a good time losing to me (twice ) at NE dragway.. i was thinking we should try to do a NESR thing there. i was thinking a Wed. would be best (less people= more passes) i know Weds might be tough for some but unless someone has some pull somewhere to try and "rent" the track (can you do that?) on a weekend i think this might be the best way (and cheapest). any thoughts

[hessogood]

I can make a late arival weds. just not next week.

[SVRACER01]

no specific date yet.. just testing the waters to see how many would be interested

You know I'm game...

[LiononaLeash]

I've NEVER learned to launch a bike, but I have a friend that is eggin' me on to go drag with him this summer. I may just do it. I'm gonna wait until the tires are almost shot though hehe.

[Stoneman]

The lawyers tell me that I've got to remind ya'll that 'NESR' does not in any way sponsor or condone racing activities...

[SVRACER01]

what does that mean......

It means when we see a title of a thread similar to this one, we need to point out that 'NESR' doesn't sponsor racing events. Same goes for rides. We're just here to meet others & such. It's just to cover our asses...

i dont even know if you need a drivers license. but no race license required. no full leathers either. i beleive its boots(over ankle), pants (jeans),jacket and gloves(over wrist). if you your bike does under like 10 sec (i think) you need a dead man switch. ill post details when we work out a date.

Stoneman- i meant NESR as in people from here not organization of which.

[ZX-12R]

we got the same bike i doubt it goes nder 10
but the next post says no permits so i wont be able to race but i will come out and hang

[Punjistick]

I might be down for this, but I have 2 questions...

1) Does anyone know how strict they are on the "Motorcycles must be street legal and able to pass state safety inspection" part. My bike passed inspection, the turn signals work fine, but they are not on either side of the plate. They are built into the undertail. Think this will be a problem?

2) What about the "Full face Snell M95 helmet required" part?
I have an HJC, I know it's DOT but not sure if it is SNELL.

If I can't race then I'll come watch.

[SVRACER01]

i brought the race bike last time and it passed (no turn signals, no headlight, no taillight) i got busted for no taillight when the sun went down . so a taillight is what you really need. they dont care about you blinkers.

no jay.. not this wed. i want to get the bike broken in first and some nice weather in thefuture would be good too. maybe Roso will have a license by then.

[oreo_n2]

i cant make it this week or next, but after that i am all over it!

i doubt it
i dont have the class lined up and i am chicken to take the test on my own
does any one know what the test consists of
i guess i could try to practice in a lot and just go try

[bump909]

i'm definitely game!

gino, get your damn license. riding around on a liter twin and you still only got a permit, ya clown. i don't think you're allowed to ride out of state with a permit anyways.

[SVRACER01]

dude the test is easy.. just go take it. thats what i did. it was over before i knew it

bump you are not supposed to speed either

[OreoGitorio]

true, but speeding doesn't get your bike impounded when you get pulled over outta state

[Tabby]

I'm game. I'll keep an eye on this thread. To those who haven't done this before, relax. You end up racing against your own time.
There will ALWAYS be someone faster than you. Lots of times I would go up against a bike I KNOW will kick my ass. Sometimes it will get me worked up enough to help shave another elusive tenth of a second. Just have fun.
