drag racing is honestly the only thing ill go watch on a regular basis-i understand more of the tech than the other sports. esp bike drags-love em

Blown alchie. It is really obscene. All in the name of consistency. Weather station for atmospheric changes, computer telemetry for anything traction or ECU control, engine/drivetrain related. Hour engine rebuilds, torque converter swaps, all for a moment of pure adrenaline. Then repacking chutes and doing it again? I thought roadracing a two stroke was complicated...

I have tried it in street cars and had fun. Just not enough to make me wanna switch from roadracing.

My favorite part is after the last shift and your still door to door, pushing the accelerator with every muscle in your leg...Right then you would spend any amount of money for just a little more top end. Probably very addicting...

Most of my enjoyment comes from outbraking the car and getting sideways while trying to hit the return road though! Too much dirt track oval racing in my background

ever run your bike?

Nope. All my race bikes have been middleweights and I didn't think they would thrill me in a straight line. I think I would do well though as my race starts usually net me a couple rows before turn one! Alot of guys just can't launch a bike for some reason and some of them seasoned racers??
