I'm going to try to head out early today too. Going to the drag strip tonight then Hallett tomorrow and Sunday. Should be a good weekend.

I will be unable to ride to work for a length of time not to exceed 397 days.

It's a sad state of affairs.

Ran horribly last night. First pass ever down a drag stip was 14.4 with a 1.4 second reaction time, FML. Got it down to an 11.5 at 125 mph with a .7xx reaction time. For my first time out, I am happy with this. Now I am getting ready to head to Hallett (hallettracing.com) for the rest of the weekend.

the first few times is hard, especially at that track unless they remarked the finish line. it's hard to see the boxes at the end when you are running and what you think is 1/4 mile really isn't.

I finally got it down when I was told that I could shut it down when those guys down by the Ambulance were waving at me.
