The 1st Annual All Harley Drags was this last weekend at the Samoa Drag Strip here in Eureka, Ca. $1000 was being awarded to the winner of each class; street, import, pro stock, and nitro. $400 went to the runner ups. There wasn't that great of a turnout, only 12 bikes in the street class, but it was a ton of fun. This was my first experience with drag racing for money and bracket racing. My best time was an 11.3. I am a total novice, there was a lot of room for improvement. I had heard of skilled drag racers doing low 10s. Here are all my slips for the 4 elimination rounds. I was the fastest in the class all weekend, but my reaction times and 60ft times were not. The 2nd race was against a bagger and the last 2 races were against 103in Dynas. Elim Rd 1 730 Entry 99 DQ Dial in 11.4 Reaction 0.254 60' 1.955 660' 7.46 Mph1 99.89 1320' 11.472 Mph2 121.15 Elim Rd 2 61 Entry 99 13.8 Dial in 11.4 0.147 Reaction 0.263 2.057 60' 1.898 8.749 660' 7.403 78.75 Mph1 99.47 14 1320' 11.46 86.14 Mph2 119.03 Elim Rd 3 8 Entry 99 12.45 Dial in 11.4 0.227 Reaction 0.304 1.839 60' 1.923 7.839 660' 7.468 84.07 Mph1 99.53 12.683 1320' 11.446 102.06 Mph2 120.78 Elim Rd 4-Finals 765 Entry 99 12.18 Dial in 11.4 0.064 Reaction 0.144 1.811 60' 1.952 7.59 660' 7.411 89.55 Mph1 99.76 12.172 1320' 11.37 100.03 Mph2 117.84 I lost the last race by hundredths of a second as we both brokeout. If I would have shifted right before the finish line, like I was doing all day, I may have won. I took it to the rev limiter instead because I thought I wasn't going to catch the guy. You can hear me bouncing off the limiter in this video. http://youtu.be/FAPdeweijdk I took 2nd place for $400, which was awesome, but damn it's hard to lose by hundredths!
