Do you think its a good idea to get a license at 16 or 17 to dragrace?
Im thinking next yr i wanna drag race and im not sure if its good to start that early on a sportsbike? Thoughts? Anyone?

If you want to do it then go for it. Do you have someone you can learn from?

Yeah i do i have a class i can take to get my license from a pro. Which works cuz my dad is friends wit him. And my dad races.

KawasakiGirl

Thats true. And thats how i feel about it but i dont think my dad belives in me. He sometimes thinks girls can race but at times doesnt.

abtech

The few times I watched the "midnight Nationals" in Ft. Lauderdale, the girls collected a lot of sucker money. Something about the power to weight ratio . . .

Hahaha thats true. But there is a few girls that race pro and win theses races. I think weight helps. There light and its not much weight on the bike.

abtech

So true. What kind of bike do you have?

Right now i ride dirtbikes. i have a yamaha but if i get a sports bike it will be a kawasaki thats what i grew up around and all my dad races. It may be a ninja or even depending on how i do at the class i may get kx-14.

abtech

a 14 eh? That's a lot of bike. Put your head down and you may do better than your dad expects.

Thats true. i guess thats the bonus of a being a girl. i can pretty much hid behind the bike. But during this class to teach us thats the bikes we use. We can bring our own but thats the bike they give us during the class to learn. Which i was like thats a lot of bike to learn how to drag race on

abtech

It's only big while it's standing still .

And there's your ticket. Sounds like you have plenty of backing - you just might have to prove them wrong. Go for it!

Hang on, you're talking drag racing motorcycles and your dad isn't sure if females can do it?
Do a bit of research on Angelle Savoie. Ask your dad if he's ever heard of her.

The younger you start, the better it is.

Take the class and decide. But do it for your own reasons, not to prove anything to anyone.

Okay thanks.
Its weird when i signed up on this site i thought it was stupied. But its REALLY helpful.

Leelover

Yeah, but we still ARE stupid!

Seriously though, you should go for your dreams! Take into account the "wisdom" of those with more experience, but go on and do YOUR best.
There is no telling what you are capable of till you try.
Go for it! God Bless!

Kawigirl... don't let anyone tell you you can't do something cuz you're a girl!

Take the class and give it a try.. see if you're comfortable even doing it. Just cuz they throw you on a Big Power bike to learn don't mean you have to go ballz to the wall from the get go... take a few slow runs to get the feel of the new bike and as you do a few you'll figure out quick if it's for you or not.

You're making a huge transition from a dirt bike to a high power sportbike but it dont' mean you can't do it ...

Newbs are alot easier to teach than those who have done things their way for so long that it's hard for them to break their bad habits they've acquired.. trust me I know this from experience... I wish I had had the opportunity you have to have learned these things from a pro from the get go.

I've ridden bikes since I was 6 yrs old and I'm still learnin... so take this chance and run with it hun. DO IT FOR YOU! I've been teaching my girls to ride as well.. and if at any time they are no longer interested I have no problem with them quitting but hey one will never know till they try..

They enjoyed goin to trackdays with me and watchin Mom and this season they'll be there on the side lines with me at the dragstrip... nothing more gratifying than sharin something you love with your family and your Dad will quickly learn that the first time he sees his girl take it down the track ;o)

I look forward to hearing from you on here how you're doing!

smoothrideronli

By all means go for it. I wonder what I could have done had I had the opportunity to start earlier. Follow your dreams and even if you dont prove daddy wrong you will be glad that you did it. Good luck with it.
