If a bunch of you Michigan dragsters go I might come and watch..

I was gonna say Drag Queens - what is the correct term?

I'd like to see Silver Bullet run -

I'm going to run a few times locally before then, and if I don't embarrass myself too much during the learning curve period then I hope to be there.

It's not that much further of a drive for me than it is to go to Red Bud (Buchanan) which I've done 5 or 6 times over the years.

no worries about embarrasing yourself there.. there will be plenty of other riders who do it just for fun and on old bikes...

I say if you run without stalling at the line you're good to go

look forward to seein ya both there hopefully...

Re: May 11th Private Trackday at US 131 Dragway

I've raced motocross pretty much my entire life but this year will be my first time on a drag strip (on a bike anyway). I am pretty apprehensive about my first race - I'm sure I'll figure it out though.

Bike is getting mapped and dynoed this weekend - only things left before season are the clutch mod and a 4 inch stretch. Can't wait!
