That's cool. So.. in regards to stock drag racing... and I'm assuming equivalent CC's in each race... what hmmmmm "techniques" would help one rider win, over another? I'd do this just for the fun of it.. but my sled is nothing special....

Thanks for the information. I'm learning ..... that I have a lot to learn

I'm not the guy to ask about "technique", but i can tell you i did give it try last year and the light plays a big part.
As far as classes you will be placed in a class of the same CC. You will need a tek vest and tether cord, you will also need to pass tech inspection.
I raced my 2013 pro 163 800cc, i was placed in the stock 800 amateur class. First time ever and got my a$$ handed to me. I didn't learn my lesson cause I'm doing it again this year.
call or email Dan and he can fill you in on all the details.
hope to see you out there.

Clutching, suspension set properly, and reaction time from the light.
