If I hadn't been stuttering could have said it all in 10 seconds, and congratulations on your wins, great meeting you.

Bike behaved all day, so why not give it a few more beans, well at 4k rpm launch she tried to take flight. Panicked bring down but i still won the race. Thanks for getting that launch Gerald and dialing in temps, track and tire. When you go undefeated on the day its a good day.

opponent red lighted and i still beat off line and to the stripe.

Taking flight! Never reached for that rear brake, i did cut off fuel to fast and made a hard landing but however far this was felt cool. Next time were gonna ride that much further with a very soft touch landing about the 300’ ft mark.

With drag slick and fully dressed for the party, speeds were down. Were working on that, but the bike was strait as an arrow and very stable feeling.

Lots of fun there.

Have you considered removing the rear shocks and adding solid struts to prevent the rebound?

Also, lay as low on the bike from launch to dial in braking.

We think it would be cool but at this speed i cant in good conscience use it like training wheels. Im ole skool and like it wild and dangerous. Actually the race tech gs-3 handle the rear its my front end i really need to work on, rear is coming down on drag bike for sure. 1/8 were going cooter twos hard tail and 1/4 were going suspension, probably run it at ecta in beginning before we have to choose 1/4 or lsr for that bike.
