Some say that Brakelate Racing, out of Utah, may be showing, with their 40' semi and crew, as they appear to be anxious to test their highly modified, 200 HP, 450 pound in "street" trim, KTM drag bike. I he does show, and if he gets past tech, and if the powers that be, who actually mentioned motorcycles in their advertisement for the event, let the motorcycles have a fair shot at getting some runs in, his only concern will be if he goes sub 10's or, over 140 mph, as that requires a NHRA comp license. But, perhaps he can sand bag and stay in the 10's? But, this presupposes that Brakelate Racing, will show.
In any case, it appears that, even though I can not launch, or shift, which renders my goal of going 12's problematical, and even though it is a long trek, I figure that, unless there is rain, I best go, as it is the last shot this year, and who knows what next year may bring. I do need a time slip from a real drag strip to hold to my tradition of always testing machines at the strip. This used to be a snap, as I could just go to LACR on a Friday night and slip and slide to some idea of the capabilities of my machine. But, open events have become scarce.
I guess that I will leave this thread until I have an update, but, the 23rd approaches.

The latter redefines the term "Gentleman's Express." Left my CBR as if it were a stone. Punishing humiliation.
