Thanks Leonard
Yep there is only one Rossi and I am not even close!
After three nights of racing, the fastest I have run is
a 10.31 @139.93mph with a 1.84 60ft, so still plenty of
room for improvement, wouldnt mind seeing that 9.99 one day.
Some interesting facts about Drag Racing:
NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) are claiming Drag Racing to be the Largest and Fastest Motorsport in the World, with 80,000 members, 35,000 licensed competitors, 140 tracks, 5,000 events alone annually across 38 states, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Canada, thats a lot of racing.
The NHRA Championship Drag Racing’s 10 month, 23-event premier series attracts more than two million spectators each year.
31 percent of Americans are Drag Racing fans.
A Dragster has 6,000 horsepower, accelerates 6 g’s with a top speed in excess of 330mph in just one quarter mile!
After watching its growth in popularity here in Australia over the last couple of years, I don't doubt any of this.
Ok a large percentage of the sport is made up with cars and the like but the Bus has a high stake in the Motorcycle classes.
