      While I do race my friends on the street(in rural safe areas) I haven't been on the drag strip for years. I do love racing(no doubt we are all gear heads!) I have raced motocross, go carts, open wheelers, years in stock car racing(ARCA REMAX series). Hell, I'll race a shopping cart

          Yes, it is.

          Apparently he is trying to find out whether you are into drag racing or if drag racing is into you.

          (Which is a much more accurate term.)

            No not really a trick question. I was just trying to see how many people in here have similar interest as I do. I will be heading up to VMP in June to race in the Man Cup race up there.

              22 BMW K1600GT (Probably been to a town near you)
              82 1100e Drag Bike (needs race engine)
              81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)

                    Indeed I do. 1123 arias pistoned 11.5 to 1, head work, sudco, barnett + springs,cbr coils, cbr wheels, 180 in the rr, ohlins, str stabilizer, corbin & more. I beat my buddy's CBR1100RR Blackbird w/ it.(once)

                    I have great diffuculty in deciding which bike to ride. I LOVE my ES. The BIG SIX is just the coolest motor of all time. The 900 sits & it is cbr wheeled, CR carbed, supertrapp etc etc

                        I always said I could never just watch drag racing without competing in the race. But when I was teaching my son to race I had to give all my attention to him and was unable to race while he raced and I actually enjoyed just watching him learn to race. Now we are going to be a race team. If you look at the photos in my profile you can see how much I like drag racing.

                              It had the 1123 pistons, larger stainless valves, big cams, under bucket shims, 36mm RS carbs, VnH sidewinder exhaust, Dyna ing.n coils, lock up clutch, air shifter, about 70hp shot NO2, and chassis work. it was the fastest street legal around here for a long time. I put the fear of Honda in people, It was hard to get a race after people got to know it.
