My buddies best run was an 11.498(no MPH in the right lane)
Took me 25 runs to get used to the bike enough to get into the 10s.
I want to work more on my launch and getting to full throttle faster in 1st gear.

25 runs???? Are you kidding me, sweet!!!!!
At best I get in 5 runs in 4 hours on a Friday night here in Vegas. That is the only time the track is open to street legal cars/bikes and they stop letting people in when they hit 400 participants.
Good job

To be fair, I was launching pretty easy on the clutch(I had to ride home).
I was launching at about 5-6000rpm, and letting the clutch out pretty quick. It would either bog or spin.
And to top it all off, it was $25 to run, but they had no change for 20s, so I got in for $20.
The mustang club was there, a bunch of other cars, but the lines were two wide, and at most all day 4 deep.:cheers:
Thanks Tybalt.
