Also if you don't know what safety requirements you need to run safely at the the track then I'm almost certain you definitely have not run anywhere close to that on a track or street.

Most tracks require a full 1 piece or 2 piece suit, gauntlet style gloves, boots that cover the ankle, and a DOT/SFI Approved helmet at the least. Some will check for functioning cutoff switch w/ safety wire. Hope this helps. Running a bike on the drag strip is a lot harder than a car. Even stretched and lowered.

I run my bike nearly every single weekend friday night and sunday afternoon at the local 1/8th track,and ive been to the track in montgomery twice thats why i KNOW what my bike runs, Ga's has all these gay rules unlike AL at montgomery and phenix city track all you need is a jacket.

M/S is gonna be a big field....which means me and the baby turbo might not make the field with all you fast people :(

I would still run it, When you make big power shit breck alot easier. So you never know, you might just win it!!!
As long as my car holds toghter, i got a huge suprise for alot of people. We did alot of testing and the car is trapping very high and fast now. I dont wanna put the numbers out yet, everyone will see them very soon!!! :)

Oh trust me faster cars will never make me not want to run. I love the sport and just want to get out there and get some more seat time.

what do you need?

you have a better chance of getting your parts than i do of getting off of work to be there, which really sucks because i got my alternator wired up as a standalone unit earlier so i just need to tune the throttle position and tip in some

Glad to hear your coming man and spread the word on the local Mobile forums. I hear you guys have a good scene there.

Disco Ill ask around do you have a tracking number on your parts by chance?

Feel free to be the driver in my Panda, I don't mind because I don't seem to get any faster times so a new driver is what it needs I think. If you want you can even use your slicks on it .. not anywhere as fast as yours so don't be surprised; only traps 97-99 MPH. So what do you think?
