[abusa]

The next Superbike Supply Shootout held at Willowbank will be on Saturday the 3rd of May with gates opening at 12.30pm.

We have opened up the "Busa Challenge" to include all big bore motorcycles for the "Xtreme Street Challenge"

This challenge will be for short bikes with no power adders, more on this soon.

See you at the Track!

Just to clarify the Xtreme Street Challenge is open to any one that can run the numbers as the fastest 8 will run against each other in a heads up competition, no breakout, first to the end wins!

Basic Rules: no long arms, or power adders, any size bike, but obviously it will be mainly 1000s and bigger, most participants are likely to be ANDRA licenced due to ETs under 9 seconds.

Thats the Challenge side of things, otherwise its business as usual with everyone running Grudgies!

Alrighty I wanna go , and cant see why I cant make this one, never done it before. My concern is I dont wanna trash my new tyre,any suggestions there on how to conserve the tyre. Whats the best technique to stage and lauch a gen 2 busa, change gears at the maximum rev range? Is there many busa's usually at these events?

[abusa]

Theres usually a couple of Busas there to show you what its all about. No need to torch the tyre if you are leaving at street light speeds. Leave at lows, get off the line then nail it, let the top of the bike work for you.

Any new Competitors or even Spectators that would like to have the basics explained, please proceed to lane 8 aroud 1pm and I will run through it all for you.

Reminder, only 2 weeks to go, Xtreme Street Challenge, plenty of runs, should be another good day!

[abusa]

1 week to go, looking forward to it!

Just a reminder for any new racers on the day I will be conducting a beginners briefing at the start of the event, hang around in lane 8 if you are interested. See you all Saturday!

dirty dog. once you torch the tyre you'll be hooked on drag racing. change around 10500-11k on the gen 2 for best numbers.

Thanks to all that made it to the Shootout. Another great day!

Speaking to a few different people most bettered their PB's which is what I think these days are all about, helps with a bit competition thats for sure.

Glad everyone decided to give the Challenge a go, sorry we didnt get to run Chicago Shootout we just ran out of time. Was interesting watching everyone come to terms with Heads Up Pro Tree racing.

Congrats to all the prize winners, full report to follow on Motoaus of who won what.

Mean while heres the Shootout Gallery on dragbike.tv

Apologies to the new riders if they waited in Lane 8 for the briefing, will make sure it happens next time!

See you all on the 21st of June 2008

Cheers
