Being a fan of drag racing (esp. with frock) it surprises me that I haven't gotten around to Eastern Creek for a blat.
Took my old YZF1000 out there twice. Averaged 11.4 and had a best 11.1.
As I do commute every day (no way I'm taking a car down Epping Road in peak hour) I'm also VERY interested in lowering the bike. I find it tough getting off the mark quickly, I'm too frightened of lighting up the back wheel as I've once highsided from too much gas. Luckily I didn't come off. I've read that running the back tyre at 20psi while at the drags really helps.
I've done the clutch mod now, along the airbox mod, the gear position sensor and opened up the standard pipes. If anyone wants to organise an 'Busa run to the Creek one Wednesday night for the street drags, I'M IN!!!
