Went to Heathcote Raceway - Viking - 16-11-2003
Just got back from my first ever drag at Heathcote Raceway. It was a private meet organized by a friends car club so there weren't very many cars and i was the only bike. I made 12 runs and my best time was 10.7 at 133mph which i felt was ok since there was a 30kph headwind and i didn't do any burnouts to warm the tyre. If they organize another meet would any of you blokes be interested in coming.

Yep 10.7 ? pretty good for the conditions
Heathcote - Viking - 17-11-2003
Thanks mate, if it wasn't for the 20m severe fishy down the strip on my 2nd run i might have done a little better. That was a so hairy that all my following launches were done pretty tamely. When another meet in arranged i'll ask em if i can post it here. I don't think that would be a problem.

Re: Heathcote - Viking - 17-11-2003
No, it's stock exept for Yoshi slip on's and BMC filter. I feel i could have went faster cause my 60 ft's were all around the 2 second mark and i've heard that a good launch is around 1.5 - 1.6 seconds. Admittedly i did take it easy on the launches and i could have pinned 1st gear sooner than i did. I'm sure nextime i'll do better.
