Do they require Snell helmets and full leathers to allow bikes on drag strip?

[Brian P]

A more pressing concern is that they require no rain. Stupid weather!

[Brian P]

Is this happening for this Friday? I got an email for them about a (really expensive) test and tune that seems to be happening during the day Friday for (what appears to be) professional teams, which I'm not! Is the evening thing separate from that?

If your running what you drove up on... (and its not streched out, and no juice) then they are pretty flexible....
you need gloves, a decent helmet and decent footwear -- to tell you the truth, they don't tech the helmet (which might be a good idea) jeans are fine --- bike boots, or bike shoes are fine, no sneakers/runners

Is anyone else up for this, if it's not raining?

I here they are cracking down on having a NHRA license.

[mike]

they can rub salt,if they think im getting a nhra licence to run my shitbox on a friday night

[styno]

I was there last fri and they jumped all over me about it. Fortunatly I still had an IHRA license (door car) , NHRA paperwork done and just waiting for my medical. Without that they were restricting to 1000ft.
Theyre super strict this year.

[Brian P]

What's this all about? So you need an NHRA license to do the test and tune at all?

Or you can go, but they stop timing at 1000 feet if you don't have the license? (I assume they can't force me to close the throttle at 1000 feet)

[styno]

Ya there was only myseldf and a busa both running mid 9's. Because I had the info and credentials i had they let me run through. They just told the other fellow to lift at 1000ft or the wouldnt let him run. He made a tonne of bottom 10 second passes after that.
I passed tech with no prob, but they approached me after my first pass looking for a license...

[canadian john]

I think the rule is if you run quicker than 10.0 or faster than 135mph you need a license....

I think there will be alot of guys not going to the track because of this.......

[mike]

great way to kill friday night attendance

any modern 750 and up can run 134 mph or faster

another great TMP move.....

[Brian P]

Is anyone planning to go this Friday (3 June)?

[amxsteve]

I was there Fri night on my new to me gs 1100 dragbike and was prompted at inspection to show some credentials,I dont have any though. When i told them of my dilema i was allowed to make my liscencing runs as i had my medical form with me.It was not in the cards for me though for my new clutch was not set up properly and would not allow me to shift DAM slider.Anyway it,s fixed now so i will be back next fri to make some passes.Bike has run a best of 9.06 at146 with a heavy jockey so it should be fun if i ever get to make a full pass.track official said i need to make one pass at 330 two at half track two at 1000 and a full pass to get liscensed

hi, just wondering if TMP is still doing the Run What You Brung races on Friday nights? I am looking for a place to safely open up my bike in a straight line for now. If TMP isnt doing it, does anyone know a track that is?
