Drag racing in 1975
« on: March 01, 2019, 06:21:29 AM »
Injected bike myself and two others built in the 70's, ran on alcohol, at times we mixed nitromethane with it, usually no more than 20%. 1/4 mile times were mostly 9.70's, mph 140. Nitro runs were 9.50's

Looks like a 1974/75 D&K Engineering frame.

Nice👍

Very Cool!   Looks like it was built a lot earlier than 75 seeing the drum front brake.
