I wanted to run this by you guys and get your thoughts on it. At the end of the year TDR dosn?t run a bike class. They run a top and mod class with the break at 12.50. I had the street bike out Sunday and in time trials I ran a 12.24 and then a 12.30. I entered the mod class and just figured to put a wheel on the guy and dial a 12.50. I figure it?s safer running the slower cars then running the 8 second cars doing 150 mph compared to my 110. The first round there was a guy there running a white mustang dialing a 12.72 and I put up the 12.50. I caught him, put a wheel on him, and then sat there. Near the stripe he totally got out of it and then jumped back on it to try and go around me. I got back on it and kept out front to the stripe. I ran a 12.59 and he ran a 12.84. He actually treed me and would have made me break out had he not gotten out of it. So he basically beat himself.
At the end of the track he?s hanging his head out the window and yelling at me about how I was *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ing with him and on and on. Up the return road he kept slowing down and speeding up. So I followed him over to his pit to chat. He was mad saying he came out to race and here I beat him in the first round sandbagging and that?s not racing and on and on. He figures the cars shouldn't even race the bikes because we can see better. I told him I was only trying to stay away from the fast cars and keep myself from getting run over. Later in the lanes he?s telling everyone how I?m a cheater and so on.
So I was wondering what the thoughts are on this. I?ve run my honda for a couple years now and had the fast street bikes do it to me. I usually just put my head down and push them out the back door. Most of the time I win having cut a better light and they break out. I always thought it was a part of racing and a finish line tactic. I never got mad about it. I just learned how to beat them. Any thoughts on it.
