After getting beaten by the GIRLS in my first 2 runs and running miserable 12.5 and 12.3 seconds , I pulled off a 10.906 sec in my last run!! Rapt to have cracked the 10 second barrier on my first day.
First I got flogged by Ali on her 600CBR Honda! I know I should be 'drawn and quartered' for letting a Honda 600 beat me (and one ridden by a girl!) but Hey, it was my first time ever on a drag strip and I was flat out just trying to keep the thing pointing in the right direction from the nerves
Then I got flogged again by Heidi in my second run who was in good form (especiall during the 4 HOURS wait between my first and second runs, by keeping us amused with her tales and bubbly personality), but at least it was a Busa!
After that I had another 3 runs and I won all 3 across the line, but the last one made me grin. A 10.9 was more than satisfactory! I was hoping to crack 11's and I would have been happy :-) Thanks to all for all the good advice guys, of course I forgot it all on the strip
All I'm thinking about now is "When's the next one?" <i></i>
