Anyone done a 1/4 mile??

Fancy a go next sunday at Crail Raceway. It's mostly a car only gig, but I've seen some bikes posted on their site.
Need to find a bit of 'private road' to practice launches!

There is a ZX12 posting some 9+ sec times there, hopefully I can stay in the 10's, may be a bit optimistic?

If it's a go'er, I'll post the video.

standard zx10 is ment to be able run run sub 10's ,if u can get it off the line and keep the wheel down

[john.658]

That's the bar set then whippy 

Nothing less than sub 10 will do.

ithink its either 113mph sub 10 or 135 mph sub 10 ..cant remember

its all about lots of revs and awesome clutch control ... with a good body position ... I am not bad at starts but sometimes the from come up a bit 

[mrwippy]

and watch u dont flip it  u should only need 1st n 2nd to do the quater mile ,unless u drop a tooth so u get better pull off then u might need 3rd

My Easter Egg Mug says 10.7 on the side, so that will be my 'get out, excuse, handicap bar'!!

Won't let the side down though, will just visualise the missus gunning for me after i've told her i've spent the crimbo fund on Ohlins stuff and.......... wollop, I'll be down the strip like a tight jock running away from his spend happy wife
 
p.s. hope it's dry next week, wouldn't want to get wasted by a Saxo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
