first time on two wheels
last wednesday was the first time i had ever raced a bike at the strip, and i had an absolute blast. i was on my F3 which is piped/jetted and -1, +2....not the greatest drag bike i must say.
my first run was a bit of a crazy ride. they had the bikes running on a pro tree and i got a little frisky with the clutch and did a huge wheelie right off the line. i started drifting towards the wall a bit so i shifted into second early, then ended up spinning and getting a little squirly. after that it was smooth sailing, and came off the track with the biggest grin i've had in recent memory. i ran a high 11.7@ 118 w/ 1.92 60' and a .136 RT, not bad for being rusty.
after my first, i had a few crappy runs either fighting wheelies or bogging. i ended up getting eliminated first round after doing a scary high wheelie and then proceeding to rack myself when i chopped the throttle.
anyway, i could go on and on. needless to say i had a blast, and i can't wait to go again.
