Got smoked at the drags by a guy on a Zuma(step thru scooter)!!!!!!!!!  Okay finish laughing at me and read on......... It was dial in racing and he had like a 10 second head start for his estimated et. My first ever day racing at a drag strip, in fact my first trip to a drag strip ever. Question is how capable is my factory race kitted XB9S and how useless is the rider? I got red lighted on my first run not really understanding how all the lights work. no2-.565 reaction and et-8.289 no3-.542 reaction and et-8.236 no4-.650 reaction and et-8.532 no5-.471 reaction and et-8.414 no6-.232 reaction and et-8.443 no7-.673 reaction and et-8.779 I got a bit slower when i got more confident and wasted time with front wheel in air. I think on run seven i just got rattled because I was waiting so long and his tail light was approaching the finish line.(the scooter) On some runs I didn't change soon enough and hit the rev limiter a few times too. The two girls that i ride with consistently got 7.5's on their suzuki bandit 1200's, they have raced a bit before though. Anyone care to share their experiences or give me some tips. Am interested in 1/4 mile experiences and tips also. |
