|  Huntsville, AL: Thursday night is bikes only night at dragway Huntsville Dragway - Huntsville, Alabama has all the details. ...but if you're lazy: It's $10 to race or watch. It's an 1/8 mile track. Not many folks there last week (less than 12). Had a blast. Like to see some more folks. Btw, there were about 5 crotch rockets, 4 cruisers, a couple JR dragsters, and a couple 4-wheelers. You just need long pants, jacket, and a helmet to race....come and have some fun. |

| Posted the results in the racing forum...but thought since there were 24 views here that somebody may be interested in knowing the results that may no go there. Pictures and videos aren't great....as it's just the wife and I mostly taking them. I'll provide commentary on them tomorrow or this weekend...I wanted to get these posted tonight so y'all can view them. I *hope* that they can be viewed...have had issues in the past with my server being able to serve. Realize...that it IS slow. Tomorrow, I will move some over to photobucket for speedier loading.  If you just want to browse, I suggest first link. If you want more detail, the 2nd link is the original digicam images, so size is greater...and so is download time. Pics taken (and reduced) Pics taken (full size) Movies: Me far lane against kid (literally, 11 years old?) in other lane. Same thing, but I'm a little slower this time. me close lane (wife changed sides of stadium), HD sportster 1200 in far lane. I ran a 9.2232, he ran an 8.3612. (next race I had 9.0630, he had 8.4396) Really, REALLY, fast bike. This thing ran a 4.75 1/8 mile. Him again. Something went wrong..engine died after just a second or two...and he still got a 6.6 IIRC. JR Dragster. These things look like loads of fun. Wish I had one growing up! These things are faster than me. Couple crotch rockets. far lane the sporster 1200 that beat me earlier, near lane, v-rod. V-rod won this one, sportster guy missed 2nd gear...slipped out. Next race, sporster won. They were going for a 2 outta 3..but we left. The one where sportster won, the times were like 8.32 and 8.35. |
