Pulled a long wheelie off the line in round two making for a late 1-2 shift so I am delegated to spectating yet again. Will be trying to get more practice during the off season.
Great weekend overall, looking forward to 2018!
Oh boy, that was a heck of a wheelie but you did ride it out. Might be time for an air shifter and a longer arm my friend. By the way, did you ever put a shift light on the bike??
I'll put that aluminum swing arm in the trailer for you when I unload the bikes tonight. We plan to make the race in Bradenton in a few weeks so i'll have it on hand in case you come. They are paying $5000 each day in street ET and in Pro ET. Well worth the trip for us.
On another note, it was good seeing everyone at the race. I got to talk to Mike, Keith, Jerry, Kenny and his son. Bill was there along with the missing link, Trey. I saw Larry Hayes and briefly talked to his grandson.
I know drag racing competition isn't for everyone but I feel with the $2500 street ET SOHC winner bonus, we've done everything possible to give incentive for more people to participate in the Man Cup events. I'm hope 2018 will be a turn around and more will show up in the lanes to compete for that money. If not on a bike, it would be nice if more of our SOHC brothers would try to make an effort to at least come out and support those of us who do race. You won't regret the time you spend being at one of these events and the many people and different types of motorcycles you'll see. The level of competition among the racers is high but professional and friendly. Its like one big family regardless of social or financial status, political preference, religious affiliation or race. Come out at least once. You'll either love it or hate it!!!
